Building Egypt's new cities: road safety and municipal supplies that last
Egypt is building at a historic scale: the New Administrative Capital, new cities across the country, thousands of kilometres of new roads and many new bridges. Each project needs safety and municipal supplies, and each authority wants them to last.
The problem
Cheap reflective sheeting fades in the sun, plastic road studs crack under trucks, poorly anchored barriers move, and street lights fail in dust and heat. Replacing them costs money and puts work crews at risk on live roads.
Specify for the conditions
Use high intensity or diamond grade reflective sheeting for signs, aluminium or tempered glass road studs that survive heavy loads, solar road studs on dark highways, and water or concrete-filled barriers that stay in place.
Light the road for less
LED street lights cut energy use compared with old sodium lamps, and solar street lights remove trenching and cabling on new roads and remote junctions.
Work zone safety
Traffic cones, delineators, flashing beacons, reflective vests and portable signs protect workers during construction and maintenance. Keep a standard kit for every crew.
Public spaces
Parks and public areas need benches, litter bins, bollards, playground surfaces and irrigation, all chosen to resist vandalism and weather.
