ABSTRACT
Archirodon NV constructed under an EPC contract a unique, multi-purpose, 1.1 km-long low-lying sea bridge in the Red Sea coast of KSA, connecting the mainland to an isolated treasure island (Shura). The project was demanding due to the marine environment, the sensitive ecosystem, the architectural features, and the strict time schedule. Archirodon managed to deliver the bridge in 1.5 years, and the project was recognized as the MENA winner for the category of “Road Project of the Year” during the prestigious MEED Projects Award 2023. The aim of this paper is to present how project challenges were addressed in both the design and construction stages with due consideration to employer requirements and various site and environmental restrictions.
