Casablanca: A 14 Million Dirham Assessment for the Road Network
Casablanca Launches Comprehensive Road Network Assessment
The city of Casablanca is embarking on a substantial initiative to evaluate its road network. The aim is to create an accurate overview of the metropolis’s infrastructure to better plan for maintenance, rehabilitation, and modernization efforts.
The project, valued at 13.992 million dirhams including tax, has been awarded to the Engineering and Development Council (CID) following a tender process initiated by the municipality.
Comprehensive Mapping of Road Conditions
The study is set to produce a detailed mapping of the various road infrastructures in Casablanca. It aims to catalog the main types of degradation, analyze their severity, and identify the priority interventions needed.
To centralize this information, the plan includes the creation of an integrated database within a Geographic Information System (GIS).
This tool is intended to provide a structured vision of the city’s road heritage and to monitor its evolution over time. The data collected will also aid in better preparing maintenance and rehabilitation operations.
A Tool for Investment Planning
The significance of the study extends beyond mere technical diagnostics. The municipality aims to develop a genuine decision-support tool that enables programming of interventions based on the needs identified on-site.
The database is expected to facilitate the establishment of an annual and multi-year work program. This approach will allow for prioritization of operations in accordance with the condition of the infrastructure, aligning investments with the identified priorities.
As a result, the municipality will be better equipped to anticipate rehabilitation needs and ensure a more structured follow-up on the works carried out on the network.
CID Selected After Proposal Review
The tender process was initiated by the city of Casablanca, with bids opened on August 13, 2026.
After reviewing the various proposals submitted, the bidding committee concluded its deliberations on September 18, 2026. CID’s proposal was ultimately selected to carry out this study.
The total value of the contract is 13.992 million dirhams, tax inclusive.
Casablanca Leverages Data for Network Management
Through this initiative, the metropolis aims to enhance its understanding of its road assets and shift its infrastructure management towards a more data-driven approach.
The implementation of the GIS is intended to integrate technical, geographical, and historical information about the infrastructure to guide maintenance and investment decisions.
For a city facing rapid urban growth and increased mobility, having an updated overview of the network is crucial for anticipating deterioration and organizing interventions.
Ultimately, the diagnosis conducted by CID is expected to provide the municipality with a working foundation to better plan road investments, optimize resources allocated to maintenance, and ensure more effective monitoring of the evolution of Casablanca’s road network.
