Noor Seal delivered this critical infrastructure upgrade for Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Transport, enhancing connectivity across Al-Qassim’s agricultural and urban centers. The project involved expanding 18km of Route 65 (Buraidah–Unaizah corridor) into a dual-carriageway with smart mobility features.

Key Deliverables

7-layer asphalt paving using polymer-modified binders for extreme heat resistance (50°C+ durability). Smart drainage systems with IoT-enabled sensors to monitor water flow and prevent flooding. Solar-powered road studs and energy-efficient LED lighting for enhanced nighttime safety. Barrier-free pedestrian pathways with tactile surfaces for accessibility compliance.

Technical Innovation

Deployed self-healing asphalt (microcapsule technology) to extend road lifespan by 15 years. Utilized LiDAR-equipped drones for real-time progress tracking and quality control.

Sustainability & Compliance

Achieved GSAS 4-Star certification through: 30% recycled aggregate in base layers. Native drought-resistant landscaping along medians. Full adherence to Saudi Road Code (SRC 2021) and Vision 2030’s transport goals.

Impact

Reduced travel time by 40%, improved freight logistics for local farms, and set a benchmark for MOT’s future smart road projects.
