On-site development in Gandhara City is progressing through systematic phases, with heavy machinery deployed across multiple sectors to complete bulk earthwork, hillock leveling, and road grading. Heavy bulldozers, excavators, and road rollers are actively shaping the 120-foot Main Boulevard and primary sector avenues.
Underground civil infrastructure is advancing concurrently: drainage culverts, storm-water containment channels, and water supply pipeline grids are being laid across early rows of General Block and Executive Block. Electrical poles and transformer feeder alignments are marked along the main road corridor.

In addition to roadbed grading, specialized contractor teams are executing groundwater bore excavations at designated sector utility nodes. Heavy rotary drilling rigs are penetrating to depths of 350 to 400 feet to reach high-yield subterranean Potohar aquifers, ensuring that overhead storage tanks (OHSRs) are primed with abundant clean water prior to the commencement of residential house construction.
