Ajmal — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 17:22:53 +0000

Project Summary

The Arghandi Transport Terminal is a landmark infrastructure project aimed at transforming Afghanistan’s transportation sector. Initiated in 2024, the project represents a major investment in national logistics capacity and regional connectivity, and is a cornerstone of the government’s broader strategy for economic development.

Developed over 900 acres of land, the terminal will include 42 essential service and transport facilities, serving as a central hub for passenger and cargo movement across the country. Once operational, the terminal will help streamline transport operations, reduce logistical costs, ease urban traffic congestion, and support the movement of goods and people efficiently.

Scope of Work

Harirod Group of Companies is leading the development and execution of the project, with responsibilities including:

Site clearance, preparation, and infrastructure layout
Construction of 42 integrated facilities, including transport bays, administrative blocks, rest areas, vehicle maintenance zones, storage yards, and utilities
Internal roads, traffic management, drainage, and security systems
Landscaping and support services for long-term operational efficiency
Engagement of local workforce and supply chains

Economic and Social Impact

Employment Generation: The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs during both construction and operational phases
Urban Traffic Relief: By relocating heavy transport operations to the outskirts, the terminal will reduce congestion in Kabul’s urban core
Trade and Connectivity: Facilitates regional commerce by improving logistics infrastructure
Post-Conflict Recovery: Contributes to the rebuilding of essential national assets following years of infrastructure degradation

Construction of 25+600 KM Double Line Road Project from Bagram to Jabal Siraj

Ajmal — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 06:03:19 +0000

Project Description:

This project entails the construction of a 25.6-kilometer second line road connecting Bagram to Jabal Siraj in Parwan Province—an important infrastructure initiative aimed at improving regional connectivity, transportation efficiency, and socio-economic integration in a strategically vital area of Afghanistan.

Awarded through a rigorous competitive bidding process by the National Procurement Authority (NPA), the contract was secured by a joint venture between Himmel u. Papesch Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG, a well-established German construction firm, and Harirod Construction Company, a leading Afghan civil contractor. This collaboration brings together international technical standards and local execution capabilities to deliver a high-quality and sustainable infrastructure solution.

Key Features & Scope of Work:

1. Roadway Engineering & Earthworks:

Complete re-survey of the proposed roadway alignment to ensure accurate design and implementation.
Massive earthworks involving over 1,000,000 cubic meters of excavation and embankment to shape the road structure and adapt to the challenging topography of the region.

2. Road Construction:

Development of a durable multi-layer road pavement system, including:
- Sub-base and base course construction
- High-quality asphalt surfacing suitable for heavy and long-term vehicular traffic
The design ensures all-weather usability and resilience to temperature fluctuations, erosion, and heavy rains.

3. Retaining Structures:

Construction of more than 100,000 cubic meters of stone masonry retaining walls along mountainous and sloped sections of the road. These structures provide critical support, reduce erosion risk, and ensure the stability of the road in high-gradient areas.

4. Drainage and Canal Integration:

Installation of over 155 concrete culverts, ranging from medium to large sizes, designed to carry water across the roadway and prevent flooding during peak flow conditions.
Rehabilitation of existing stone masonry open canals, including reconstruction with concrete beds, to improve irrigation efficiency and safeguard adjacent farmlands and infrastructure.

5. Bridge Construction:

Construction of three major reinforced concrete bridges over key waterways:
- Charikar Power and Irrigation Canal
- Ghurband River
- Salang River
These bridges are designed for structural durability, accommodating both current and future traffic loads, and withstanding hydraulic and seismic stress.

Project Impact & Significance:

The Bagram–Jabal Siraj Second Line Road project is a cornerstone in the regional infrastructure network of Parwan Province. It is expected to:

Enhance mobility and access between central and northern Afghanistan
Boost economic activity by facilitating the movement of goods and services
Improve transport safety and reduce travel time for local residents, commercial transporters, and emergency services
Create employment opportunities during construction and post-completion maintenance
Support regional stability by improving access to government services, schools, healthcare, and markets

This project reflects Harirod Construction Company’s continued commitment to excellence in engineering, sustainable development, and the long-term improvement of Afghanistan’s infrastructure landscape.
