Engineering Services Completes a Key Supervision Milestone on the A-17 Kyzylorda–Zhezkazgan Highway

On October 16, 2026, contractors completed the upper layer of asphalt concrete pavement on the reconstructed section of the A-17 Kyzylorda–Zhezkazgan highway, km 216–314, in the Ulytau Region. Asphalt paving works have now been completed across the entire approximately 98-kilometre section.

The reconstruction is being implemented under the CAREC Corridors 1, 2 and 6 Connector Road Reconstruction Project. The client is NC QazAvtoZhol JSC, with financing support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Construction was carried out across four lots, Lots 7 through 10, in accordance with Category II road standards.

The works began in April 2025 and were completed over two construction seasons.

Technical supervision under international FIDIC contractual conditions is being provided by the consortium of Renardet S.A. (Switzerland) and Engineering Services LLP (Kazakhstan).

Quality assurance has remained one of the key priorities throughout the project. The supervision team conducted incoming inspections of each batch of construction materials and verified every layer of the pavement structure before the subsequent layer was placed. Independent laboratory testing was also carried out, including direct sampling from completed pavement layers.

Particular attention was paid to the quality of asphalt concrete works. Dedicated specialists monitored compliance with project specifications and technical requirements despite the sharply continental climate and challenging ground conditions encountered in certain sections.

Completion of the asphalt concrete works marks an important milestone for the project. The upgraded road will provide a more reliable and safer transport connection between the Ulytau and Kyzylorda regions, while strengthening the highway’s role within the international CAREC transport corridors.

Final road furnishing works are currently underway, including the installation of road signs, pavement markings, and safety elements.

Following commissioning, the project will enter the Defect Liability Period, during which the technical supervision team will continue monitoring the condition of the road and compliance with contractual obligations.

For Engineering Services, participation in a major infrastructure project of this scale represents both a contribution to improving regional connectivity and a demonstration of our expertise in supervising large infrastructure projects under international standards.
