Key areas:
  • Road and highway construction and rehabilitation
  • Bridge, overpass, and tunnel engineering works
  • Trails and related transport corridors
  • Runway-related works within transport infrastructure

Civil Engineering

Encompasses the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment and public works within the built environment.

Locations

Afghanistan

Afghanistan’s infrastructure base remains severely underdeveloped after decades of conflict, with major gaps in transport, electricity generation and water systems. Connectivity projects linking Central and South Asia have been viewed as potential drivers of trade and economic stabilisation. However, limited fiscal space, sanctions-related financial isolation and weak institutional capacity significantly constrain infrastructure financing and private investment. Sustainable development will depend on improved governance frameworks, regional cooperation and gradual restoration of investor confidence.
