Construction Giants, Julius Berger Plc, has purchased more equipment and machinery to escalate construction works on the Abuja- Kaduna- Zaria-Kano Road
In a statement issued by the media department, Julius Berger said that the gesture is to emphasize its determination to deliver its habitual highest standard bearer quality and to seriously sustain its historically acclaimed durable road works legacy across the country.
The construction firm said it took delivery of hundreds of new and crucial construction equipment and machinery for the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Road.
Representative of Engr. Dr. Lars Richter, the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, the Commercial Manager of the Abuja- Kano roadwork, Mr. Ralf Brendicke, noted that the company’s determination to deliver a good job at project completion date was not in doubt
“These trucks and equipment are needed for one of Julius Berger’s projects, the AKR project which the company is constructing to bring prosperity to communities and Nigeria. We realize it is a very important highway; so, we are determined to deliver a highly efficient and environmentally friendly road. This accounts for the detailed professionalism being put in place to deliver a strong, timely, and well-completed road that can withstand pressure, in the best engineering traditions of Julius Berger,” Brendicke said.
Brendicke further said the size and engineering scope of the project poses very high demands on equipment and manpower. Similarly, a load of traffic borne daily by this very important highway makes it susceptible to damage, so much so that Julius Berger has deployed a state-of-the-art road construction technique.

With over 3000 men and 900 pieces of equipment already working on the project, the Julius Berger MD’s representative said with the delivery of the trucks and other equipment it is a foregone conclusion that the Abuja-Kano Road (AKR) project will be a huge success.
