Bridge Portfolio
CEC engineers and builds Jordan's road bridges and culverts — from complex urban grade-separated structures in Amman's hilly terrain to wadi-crossing culverts and cross-drainage structures on national road networks. First Grade classified. Built to last generations.
Jordan's road network requires a high density of bridge structures relative to its size — a direct consequence of the Kingdom's varied topography. Amman alone spans 19 named hills, meaning that virtually every arterial road upgrade in the capital involves bridge or tunnel works. The Jordan Valley's wadi crossings and the national road network's mountainous terrain further drive the demand for quality bridge engineering and construction.
CEC has delivered grade-separated bridge structures in Amman since the 1990s, accumulating deep experience in the construction challenges specific to Jordan's urban and rural bridge environments: variable limestone geology, live traffic management in dense city corridors, seismic design requirements, and thermal expansion management in Jordan's significant temperature range.
Holding First Grade classification in Infrastructure Works, CEC is pre-qualified for all government bridge tenders in Jordan, regardless of contract value. We deliver bridges from feasibility-stage cost advice through to structural completion, load testing, and handover.
CEC designs and builds bridges to comply with all applicable Jordanian and internationally-referenced standards. For bridges on the national and Amman municipal road network, this includes Ministry of Public Works and Housing design guidelines, AASHTO bridge design standards (referenced in major contracts), and Eurocode structural standards where specified by international clients or financiers.
Our quality management on bridge projects includes independent laboratory testing of all structural concrete and reinforcement materials, systematic inspection of reinforcement placement and cover depths, post-installation testing of expansion joints and bearings, hydrostatic testing of bridge drainage systems, and formal load testing of the completed structure before handover and opening to traffic.
Every CEC bridge is accompanied by a complete set of as-built structural drawings, material test certificates, and maintenance recommendations — enabling the owner to maintain the structure to its design service life of 75–100 years.
Amman's bridge projects almost invariably require construction in live traffic — there is rarely the option to close a major arterial road for the full construction period. CEC's team has developed robust procedures for managing bridge construction in live traffic environments through years of urban infrastructure delivery in Jordan's capital.
Our approach includes:
This discipline — managing safety and construction momentum simultaneously — is one of the skills that distinguishes CEC's bridge teams from less experienced competitors.
