Project Outline
Kayson has been in the forefront of a concerted
effort launched in recent years to expand Iran's export of technical and
engineering services. The Bishkek-to-Osh Road, therefore, assumes an
added significance when viewed in the overall context of Kayson's
regional strategy.
The project called for Kayson to reinforce, upgrade and widen a 37 km
segment of the Bishkek-to-Osh Road, extending from 325th kilometer to
362nd kilometer. The road's width which ranged from 5 to 7 meters was
widened to 12 meters, of which 8 meters was paved and the remaining 4
designated to two 2-meter shoulders.
Upon completion of the project, Kayson was chosen as model foreign
contractor amongst contracting firms working in Kyrgyzstan, including
several well-known companies from industrial nations. Kayson Chairman
and President, Mr. Ansari, received the Award of the ”Best Foreign
Contractor” from the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Askar Akayev, at
that country's National Independence Day Ceremony on October 23, 2000.
