The projects include a new regional transportation hub, a sewage lifting station, and the fifth phase of the presidential "Housing for All Egyptians" (Sakan Lekol El-Masryeen) initiative, which are being executed as part of the state's plan to provide suitable housing and integrated services in new cities.
The Minister directed officials to accelerate work on the
projects and adhere strictly to standard specifications and quality criteria.
He noted that Capital Gardens is moving steadily towards
achieving comprehensive urban development, fulfilling the Ministry of Housing’s
strategy to develop new cities and raise citizens’ living standards.
El-Sherbiny also emphasized the need for the timely supply
of necessary materials to boost completion rates and ensure quality,
highlighting the importance of relying more on local products. He stressed the
need for intensified efforts to coordinate with the Social Housing Fund to
deliver units to beneficiaries as quickly as possible and ensure the service
projects become operational.
Officials from the Capital Gardens City Authority inspected
several sites:
Regional transportation hub: The new hub spans 12,000 square
meters and includes 38 covered bays for large, medium, and small buses,
organized waiting areas for passengers, and 14 commercial shops to serve
commuters.
Southern sewage lifting station: The project, located south
of the 2,350-feddan area, includes the lifting station itself, a 1,200 mm
diameter pressure line, and accompanying components. The station features a
pumping hall, screens building, generator building, transformer building, power
distribution building, and administrative facilities, among others. Crucially,
it includes the tunnel crossing beneath the Suez Road, complete with receiving
and thrust chambers.
Housing for All Egyptians phase 5: Officials inspected
roadworks and general site landscaping for the 90-square-meter unit
development. The inspection aimed to ensure the highest standards of quality
and safety.
During the inspection tour, officials followed up on
requests from citizens at the City Authority’s Technology Center, addressing
issues such as unit handovers, payment of utility fees, land installments,
permits, meter installations, and gas contracts.
The officials also toured the El-Zohour District within the
fourth phase of the social housing program, stressing the need for rapid
completion and strict adherence to quality in construction and finishing works,
along with full compliance with occupational health and safety rules.
Finally, the City Authority leadership called for the swift completion of road and asphalt works in ready areas and the finalization of curbs, sidewalks, and interlocking paving around apartment buildings to create a civilized and integrated environment. They also stressed the need to provide necessary saplings, plants, and trees for landscaping along main and side roads, emphasizing the continuous irrigation and maintenance of green spaces.
