Infrastructure Projects Code Set To Enhance Quality And Safety Standards In Riyadh From August 7

The Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center (RIPC) has announced that the Infrastructure Projects Code will be implemented on August 7, in ten days. This code is designed to set unified standards to improve the quality and safety of infrastructure projects. It covers areas such as telecommunications, energy, water, sanitation, and roads. Both government and private-sector projects, as well as major developments linked to infrastructure works, are subject to this code.

The code is structured into four chapters with main and sub-sections. The first chapter introduces the objectives of the code and provides guiding principles for infrastructure projects. It also outlines the stages involved in these projects. The second chapter details project phases, including licensing requirements, work execution plans, risk management, traffic control plans, health and safety management, waste handling, and quality assurance.

The remaining two chapters serve as supportive references. One chapter describes the update mechanism and legal framework information. The other includes templates, procedures, processes, and checklists useful for stakeholders. These resources aim to streamline efforts and enhance the quality of infrastructure work through consistent standards.

According to RIPC's press release, this code acts as a comprehensive reference for all parties involved in infrastructure projects. This includes government entities, service providers, contractors, consultants, and laboratories. The goal is to coordinate efforts among these groups to improve project outcomes.

The Infrastructure Projects Center in Riyadh Region oversees infrastructure projects in the area. It issues regulatory frameworks and collaborates with stakeholders to enhance project outcomes. This collaboration aims to improve quality of life by upgrading urban landscapes and achieving greater spending efficiency.
