Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center Launches Geospatial Asset Verification Service

 The Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center launched a geospatial verification service for infrastructure assets, enabling contractors and executing entities to review the locations of existing assets at project sites before the start of excavation works.
 The initiative comes as part of transformational efforts to regulate the infrastructure sector, enhance safety levels, protect assets, and improve execution quality in projects.
 The service aims to display the existing infrastructure network to contractors within the permit area before excavation begins, including water, electricity, telecommunications, and road networks. This helps reduce unintentional encroachments on assets, limit service interruptions, protect infrastructure assets, and avoid conflicts during execution. It also enables contractors to plan excavation works accurately, enhance on-site execution efficiency, improve coordination among relevant entities, and ensure compliance with approved technical standards.
 The center noted that the launch of the service is part of the “Osoul” program, which includes several regulatory, technical, and technological initiatives to develop the infrastructure sector in Riyadh Region. The program seeks to raise planning and execution efficiency, enhance integration and coordination among relevant entities, and improve work quality. These initiatives are expected to positively impact the urban landscape and quality of life for residents and visitors, support sustainable urban development, and keep pace with the city’s rapid growth.
