The Casablanca-Settat region has allocated three drones to conduct aerial surveys on the progress of works related to the renovation, expansion, and repair of highways and national roads in vital areas of the Berrechid, Nouaceur, and Mediouna provinces, as part of ongoing efforts to monitor and oversee the infrastructure projects related to the 2030 World Cup.

Sources told Hespress that the drones, which flew over the construction sites for several hours, provided high-resolution images and videos detailing both the completed and pending stages of dualization, interchange construction, and road expansion projects. 

The aerial footage enabled local authorities in the region to evaluate the commitment of the contracted companies to comply with the instructions given by Governor Mohamed Mheidi, as well as the terms and conditions outlined in the project contracts, ensuring that the work is being completed within the stipulated deadlines.

The  data provided a detailed overview of the pace and status of the infrastructure development works surrounding Mohammed V Airport, as well as the connecting roads leading to the Grand Casablanca Stadium project in Benslimane, offering authorities an efficient way to track progress and identify any delays or issues.

The collected data from the drones is expected to be analyzed and compared with the content of the project documents and the reports submitted by the contracted companies, in order to verify the accuracy and consistency of the information, ensuring that it aligns with the observations made during the aerial surveys, and confirming that the work is proceeding as planned.

Sources also confirmed that the drones are being utilized to monitor the roadwork projects in order to assess the stages of implementation and address any unforeseen problems that could threaten the continuity of the works, providing a quick and effective means of intervention if necessary.

Sources revealed that in recent weeks, the Governor of Casablanca-Settat region unexpectedly visited several infrastructure projects in the region’s provinces, where he convened working sessions with representatives from construction companies and real estate developers to accelerate project timelines, address administrative and procedural obstacles, particularly at the municipal level, and facilitate investments in the area.

The regional governor also directed district officials to take immediate steps to resolve the issue of “dead waste” resulting from ongoing infrastructure and real estate development projects, ensuring that waste disposal does not harm the environment or hinder sustainable development in the areas hosting these projects.

The Governor  made a surprise visit to the Mediouna district on the outskirts of Casablanca last weekend, where he inspected several critical 2030 World Cup projects, including the preliminary works for the High-Speed Train line.
