🚌 Central Bus Project – New Administrative Capital
The Central Bus Project is one of the key smart infrastructure initiatives in the New Administrative Capital, aiming to organize public transportation and reduce reliance on private cars. It aligns with the state’s vision of providing a modern and sustainable transport system. Key Features of the Project: Modern Central Stations: Strategically located at the entrances and exits of the capital to serve residential and governmental districts. Smart Bus Fleet: Powered by electricity and natural gas, equipped with internet access and GPS tracking systems. Integrated Transport System: The project connects with the monorail and LRT (Light Rail Transit), facilitating movement between the capital and surrounding cities. Reduced Traffic Congestion: Helps decrease the number of private vehicles, easing traffic and reducing air pollution. World-Class Design: Stations are built to international standards to ensure comfort and safety, with facilities for people with disabilities. Project Location: Located in key areas such as the Government District, Financial District, Residential Zones R2 and R3, and includes a major terminal at the entrance of the capital via the Suez Road.

A temporary metal formwork system used in major construction projects, especially in the casting of massive concrete roofs or bridges.
Temporary metal reinforcement system used in major construction projects.
To support roofs or large concrete beams during pouring.
Large concrete ceiling and beams during casting.
Vertical support columns made of strong metal sections (in blue), which carry the weight of the roof.
Reinforcement of vertical support columns from strong metal sections (in blue).
Wooden boards or plywood on top, which are used as surfaces for pouring concrete over.
Heavy-duty steel winter support columns (blue) support the weight of the beams during casting.
Horizontal metal beams distribute loads evenly across the grid. Mechanical cylinders or hydraulic jacks at the top (used to precisely adjust the height or lifting elements).
Diagonal and cross braces (in red) are used to strengthen and stabilize the temporary structure and resist lateral loads.
Post-tensioning is a technique in which steel cables (called tendons) are tensioned within concrete after it has been poured and hardened, to introduce pre-stresses that counteract the loads that will later act on the concrete element.
Install cable ducts inside the forms before pouring the concrete. The concrete is poured with the cables unstretched inside the ducts.
After the concrete hardens and reaches the required strength, the cables are tensioned using hydraulic jacks.
The tension is secured using anchors, and the ducts are then injected with a special grout to protect them from corrosion.
