Highway Services Centres And Rest Areas

Gulf Consult was engaged to develop prototypical Concept Designs for Highway Service Centres in Libya for Mohammed Abdulmohsin Al Kharafi and Sons. Concept Designs were prepared for both a minor highway service centre and a major service centre. The designs were developed as prototypes for service centres along a major interstate highway of approximately 1,000 km. The minor service centre concept design provides separate service areas for private vehicles and for trucks. Each of the service areas includes a petrol station, mechanical workshop, mosque, restaurant and supermarket. The major service station concept design was developed to accommodate a greater program of facilities, and provide a private vehicular service area and a VIP rest area.

The facilities include:

Petrol Station
Supermarket
Police Station
Ambulance Centre & Clinic
Restaurants
Mosque
Toilets
Recreational facilities including playground and soccer field
Picnic Facilities
Landscape features including water features and an aviary
Car Parking
Private Rest Area for VIPs including a two storey villa and private gardens
