IRD Engineering has recently set up a new branch in Dhaka, capital city of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.

The company is already present in the country and is participating in three important transport infrastructure contracts:

  • Construction Supervision and Project Implementation Consultant for Wecare Phase-L: Jhenaidah – Jashore Highway (N-7) Improvement Project: The major objective of this WB-funded project is to upgrade the 48 km-long Jhenaidah – Jashore Highway section of National Highway N-7, as a smart, climate resilient and safe mode of transportation. The road section is a 4-lane dual carriageway with separate service lanes for slow-moving vehicles and vulnerable users on both sides of the carriageway.
  • Construction Supervision Consultant for the Improvement of the Sylhet-Tamabil Road to Four-Lane Highway with Separate Slow Moving Vehicular Traffic Lanes Project: Financed by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the assignment aims to improve intercity connectivity in Bangladesh and cross-border connectivity between Bangladesh and India, by upgrading the Bangladeshi National Highway N2 between Sylhet City to the Tamabil border point, from a two-lane single carriageway to a four-lane dual carriageway highway. The 56 kilometers-long Sylhet-Tamabil highway is part of the Asian Highway-1. This corridor is strategically important for sub-regional connectivity with the northeastern states of India, as well as with Bhutan, Myanmar, and China.
  • Consulting Services by Project Implementation Consultant for Supervision of Civil Works and Safeguard Activities of South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Dhaka-Sylhet Corridor Road Investment Project: This important road connects Dhaka to the border with India via the Sylhet-Tamabil section. The $2.69 billion overall scheme is financed by the Asian Development Bank and the Government of Bangladesh. The scope of civil works under the investment project includes the improvement of the existing 210 kilometers long two-lane Dhaka–Sylhet National Highway (N2) into a four-lane divided carriageway with service lanes on both sides.

In all these 3 projects IRD Engineering is a member of different Joint Ventures led by ICT. 

Proximity, commitment, innovation, honesty, technical excellence…There are key focus areas for IRD Engineering. We are constantly evolving in our discerning, our approach, our technologies, and in our systems.
