Prime Minister orders review of road infrastructure for culverts

During the Government session Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov raised the pressing issue of availability of culverts in Kazakhstan under the existing road infrastructure. It was noted that this problem was particularly aggravated in the current spring, primeminister.kz reports.

Flood period showed the need for mandatory availability of culverts under the existing road infrastructure. How many roads were washed out due to the flow and accumulation of water. And if there were culverts, many roads could have been saved. In this regard, the Ministry of Transport should ensure that the existing infrastructure is reviewed. It is also necessary to update the standards for the design of new road construction projects, taking into account the hydrogeological situation on the ground, the introduction of new technologies, as well as digitalisation of design solutions," Olzhas Bektenov said.


Head of the Government also noted that the new Law "On Public Procurement" provides for the introduction of turnkey projects in road construction, on the principle of EPCM - Engineering Procurement and Construction Managemen. Now it is necessary to provide a clear mechanism for its implementation.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Construction, together with the Ministry of Finance, has been instructed to urgently develop and approve a mechanism for the implementation of budget projects, taking into account the experience of the BACAD project.
