Key takeaways from the event:

ASTM International and Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT) have held their first meeting to discuss how global standards can improve road safety in the country. The primary objective is to create specialized training programs that will help Omani officials gain a deeper understanding of the latest safety standards, ensuring safer roadways across Oman.

This collaboration is a key part of Construck Systems & Technology’s ongoing initiative to enhance road safety and infrastructure in Oman. As the MTCIT revises its highway design specifications, the ministry is exploring ways to incorporate the most current international standards to improve the safety and sustainability of its road networks

By utilizing global best practices and working with international partners such as ASTM International, Construct Systems hopes to improve road safety protocols and guarantee that its infrastructure is constructed for the future.
