In 1958 the young Sabah Abi-Hanna completed a summer internship with the Public Works Department in Kuwait while studying architecture at the American University of Beirut. He returned after graduation and quickly set up his own practice in 1961, the same year Kuwait gained its independence. Amid Kuwait’s rapid urbanisation, his practice and reputation flourished. With technical and aesthetic innovations he made an early mark on the burgeoning cityscape of Kuwait. Along with Salem Al-Marzouk, a civil engineer and reforming politician, Sabah formed a powerful new partnership based on a shared commitment to quality and ethics and the firm won many major government projects.

Renowned urban planner Charles Bosel joined in 1977 and ensured that SSH also played a key role in the master planning of Kuwait. Hopes were shattered by the 1990 Iraqi invasion.

SSH offices were ransacked, projects were halted and staff were scattered all around the globe. But the SSH spirit prevailed. Following liberation, even as the burning oil wells blacken the sky, the partners and a core team of staff regrouped, remobilised and renegotiated major contracts.

Ali Al-Abdullah joined SSH in 1993 with his broad public sector and management expertise and a powerful quartet guided SSH towards the millennium. New talent enabled the company to stay on the leading edge of technology and design. In 2013 a new board of directors was appointed to breathe energy and inspiration into SSH while retaining the established core company values.

The Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah (SJAS) Highway Upgrade project aims to reduce traffic congestion and delays during peak hours by upgrading the current 10km of highway to a motorway standard. This responds to the rapid growth in the Kingdom’s population from 1.4 million to an estimated 2.4 million residents by 2030. SJAS forms part of the strategic North-South link, connecting Manama, Sitra Industrial Area, Alba Plant and the Southern Governorate. It will also form part of the Future International Transportation Corridor with the proposed Bahrain-Qatar Causeway.

SSH as leading consultant and in partnership with Hyder Consulting, are undertaking the engineering consultancy services for the design of the road and bridges as part of the widening and upgrading of the SJAS Highway by the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning.
