The National Construction Corporation (NAC) is a state-owned enterprise in Nouvelle Alexandrie under the jurisdiction of the Department of Civil Works and Transportation. Established in 1686 AN by the government of Premier Alejandro Campos as part of the New Prosperity Plan, the NAC has played a crucial role in the country's ambitious infrastructure megaprojects.
History
The NAC was founded during a period of extensive development aimed at modernizing the infrastructure of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Premier Alejandro Campos initiated the creation of the NAC to oversee and execute large-scale construction projects integral to the New Prosperity Plan. From its inception in 1686 AN until 1710 AN, the NAC was at the forefront of numerous significant projects, including the construction of dams, canals, roads, highways, railways, aqueducts, airports, and various public buildings. These efforts established the NAC as one of the most innovative and largest construction companies in the country.
Projects and Achievements
During its early years, the NAC was responsible for several key projects that transformed the infrastructure landscape of Nouvelle Alexandrie:
- Dams and Canals: Constructed numerous dams and canals to improve water management and irrigation.
- Roads and Highways: Developed an extensive network of roads and highways to enhance connectivity and transportation.
- Railways: Built major railway lines to facilitate efficient cargo and passenger transport.
- Aqueducts: Established aqueduct systems to ensure reliable water supply to urban and rural areas.
- Airports: Constructed modern airports to support domestic and international air travel.
- Public Buildings: Erected essential public buildings including schools, hospitals, and government offices.

Challenges and Reforms
Post-1710 AN, the NAC faced challenges related to inefficiencies and bureaucratic hurdles, which affected its performance. Recognizing these issues, successive governments from the Federal Humanist Party and the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie undertook multiple reforms to revitalize the corporation. These reforms focused on streamlining operations, improving management practices, and enhancing accountability.
Controversies and Quality Issues
While the NAC has been instrumental in the development of Nouvelle Alexandrie, it has also been involved in a few controversies related to workmanship. These issues typically arose from the employment of subcontractors to meet local government creation targets rather than faults within the NAC itself. Efforts have been made to address these concerns through stricter quality controls and oversight mechanisms.
