Ahmed Al Hajri, Director General of Nizwa Industrial City, said that developmen­t works of Phases 3 and 4 were assigned to a local company in May 2020 as the total cost exceeded OMR5 million. “The project included the constructi­on of 6.3km internal roads, a paved pedestrian walkway along the roadsides, installati­on of 205 LED lighting poles, and the implementa­tion of control and monitoring system at the industrial city’s entrances and internal roads,” Al Hajri pointed out.

He added, “The project also included two security guard rooms at the entrances, a rainwater drainage channel, a 5.9-km irrigation network, an undergroun­d water tank, sewage and water networks, and a fire-fighting system. Additional­ly, truck parking areas were created at the industrial city’s entrance, comprising more than 90 parking spaces and covering a total area of 13,000 sqm, which will serve investors and cargo owners around the clock.”

Al Hajri emphasised that this project represents the commitment of Madayn towards supporting the growth of industrial cities and providing essential infrastruc­ture services to attract both local and internatio­nal investors. “By doing so, Madayn aims to further strengthen the contributi­on of these industrial cities to the in-country value in alignment with the priorities set forth in Oman Vision 2040,” he added.
