REHABILITATION OF YAMBIO DABIO ROAD

Client: United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS)

We have been contracted by UNOPS who are funded by USAID to build a 80km new section of road from Yambio to Dabio in South West Sudan. This is the first designed murram road in Sudan and has been built to the Standard Technical Specification for Highway Work 2006 USA.

We were been contracted to build the very badly neglected stretch of road from Kaya through to Rumbek in Sudan to a high standard with a proper 7 metre wide carriageway with major drainage ditches to accommodate the large water run-off in the area. This project has a very short mobilisation time, compounded with the expected onset of the main rains in June July where the road repairs will be jeopardised by rain. The project consists of road works on a 5800 km section of road, undertaken from January until we will be forced to stop when the rains hit in earnest. This contract is run back to back with the second road repair contract, we had doubled our equipment to cope with the larger contract. The road repair consists of back filling massive quantities of fill material into the 1 to 2 metre deep potholes on the original road surface.

We have been contracted to build a new gravel road from Wau to Abyei, this road now will officially join the North to the South in Sudan. This will be an historic moment when this road opens as the two halves of this huge country have been effectively separated for over 20 years. This road is extremely difficult to build as the last source of murram is at km 58 and the road is 238 km long. The consequence of long overhaul on road building always makes road building very difficult.
