Roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, water networks — CEC delivers the national infrastructure of the Hashemite Kingdom. First Grade classified in both Infrastructure Works and Water & Sewerage Works. Building Jordan since 1977.
Highways, urban roads, arterial networks, earthworks, drainage, and road surface works across Jordan's varied terrain — from Amman's hilly urban fabric to the desert roads of the eastern Badia.
Road Construction →Grade-separated road bridges, wadi crossing structures, and flyovers — including Al-Haramain Bridge and Safeway Bridge 7th Circle, two of Amman's most significant urban structures.
Bridge Construction →Cut-and-cover and bored tunnel construction in Amman's live traffic environment — including Middle East Tunnel and Al Madinah Tunnel, both in the heart of Jordan's capital.
Tunnel Works →Earthfill and reinforced concrete dam structures in Jordan's wadi systems — including Al Karameh Dam and Al-Kafrain Dam in the Jordan Valley, delivered for the Jordan Valley Authority.
Dam Works →Trunk mains, distribution pipelines, pump stations, and reservoirs — delivering water across Jordan's terrain, from Ma'in trunk line to North Badia in Mafraq Governorate.
Water Networks →Complete site infrastructure development for major facilities — access roads, utilities, drainage, perimeter structures, and all below-ground civil works — as delivered for major institutional and energy projects.
Site Works →Infrastructure projects in Jordan — road networks, bridges, tunnels, dams, and water trunk mains — demand a contractor with the plant, technical depth, and quality systems to execute at national scale while meeting the specifications of government clients and international funding agencies. CEC's infrastructure capability has been built over nearly five decades of continuous delivery.
CEC operates an owned and leased plant fleet covering earthmoving equipment (excavators, graders, compactors, dump trucks), concrete batching and pumping plant, pipe-laying and trenching equipment, and the specialist plant required for dam and tunnel works. This fleet allows CEC to mobilise quickly on projects across Jordan — from urban Amman to the Jordan Valley and the eastern Badia — without dependency on third-party plant hire for critical path activities.
A dedicated technical office supports every infrastructure project: design coordination and value engineering, materials and soil testing in CEC's own quality control laboratory, survey and setting-out teams, and planning engineers managing programme and resourcing. This in-house technical capability means CEC can identify and resolve constructability issues early — a critical advantage on infrastructure projects where ground conditions, utility diversions, and traffic management constraints are common sources of delay.
CEC's health, safety, and environmental management systems are aligned with the requirements of government clients and international financiers, covering site safety induction, permit-to-work systems, environmental monitoring near sensitive areas (wadis, aquifers, the Jordan Valley), and traffic management plans for works carried out in live urban environments.
Infrastructure procurement in Jordan involves a specific set of government and donor institutions, each with its own technical specifications, tendering procedures, and supervision practices. Nearly five decades of continuous work has given CEC direct, working relationships with the institutions that commission the majority of Jordan's infrastructure:
A growing share of Jordan's infrastructure programme is financed through international institutions — the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and USAID-backed programmes through the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation. These funders impose additional requirements around procurement transparency, environmental and social safeguards, and reporting — requirements CEC has met on multiple donor-funded projects, including the North Badia Water Supply Project.
For international developers, EPC contractors, and donor agencies entering Jordan's infrastructure market, partnering with a contractor that already holds these institutional relationships and understands local procurement norms significantly reduces project risk during the tendering and mobilisation phases.

Jordan's contractor classification system, administered under the Ministry of Public Works and Housing regulations, grades construction companies from Fifth Grade to First Grade across five distinct categories — including Infrastructure Works and Water and Sewerage Works. The grade a contractor holds in each category determines the maximum contract value it may bid for in that category.
First Grade is the highest classification and removes the upper limit on contract value entirely. For infrastructure projects — where contract values for road programmes, dam construction, or trunk main projects routinely exceed the thresholds open to lower-graded contractors — First Grade classification is often a mandatory pre-qualification requirement, not simply a preference.
CEC holds First Grade classification in both Infrastructure Works and Water and Sewerage Works — the two categories that, between them, cover the full scope of civil infrastructure construction in Jordan: roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, water supply, and sewerage. Few contractors in Jordan hold First Grade in both categories simultaneously, which means CEC can bid and deliver combined infrastructure packages — for example, a road project that also requires culvert and drainage works tied into a water network — as a single contractor, without the coordination risk of a joint venture.
For clients evaluating infrastructure contractors in Jordan, verifying First Grade classification in the relevant category is the first and most important due-diligence step. Read our guide to Jordan's contractor classification system for a full explanation of how the grading system works and how to verify a contractor's status.
