Safari lands Saudi contracts

The King Fahd Causeway.
  • Safari has been awarded all three facilities management packages by the King Fahd Causeway Authority
  • According to the five-year contract, Safari will provide over 500 staff to maintain and enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the causeway

Saudi Arabia-based facilities management and construction company Safari has been awarded all three facilities management or FM packages by the King Fahd Causeway Authority after a detailed tender process, local reports have said.

According to the five-year contract, Safari will provide over 500 staff to maintain and enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the King Fahd Causeway.

The route is a gateway between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

As per contract, Safari will carry out FM operations, maintenance and complete inspection works for the causeway on both sides.

This is said to include roadworks, protective rails, lighting fixtures and all related accessories, backfilling, the Aziziyah crossing and buildings, and a total of 25 km of bridges.

The scope of work also includes the facilities for collecting transit fees on the bridge and the surrounding area on the Saudi and Bahrain sides, and the roads leading to the entrances, as well as car insurance facilities on the Bahraini side, said the local reports.

Safari will also be expected to provide an electrical power supply station for all bridges, roads, and the border island located north of the intersection of the Aziziyah bridge, as well as service stations in various locations.

Also included in the deal are the marine works for inspection of all five bridges and the two truck detachment areas before entering the bridge on each side.

Safari will reportedly also have to undertake the cleaning of buildings, landscaping, and general site coordination as well as pest control for the King Fahd Causeway and its facilities on both sides.
