Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince MBS has demonstrated that actions speak louder than words by achieving a significant milestone. The $1.5 trillion Neom City has completed the construction phases of its underground parking and light rail systems. According to a press release, ten high-capacity rotary drilling rigs from Chinese construction manufacturer XCMG Machinery, part of the world’s largest integrated development project, completed three piles per day per drilling rig.
Despite challenging geology and entering the site a month later than others, the rigs, consisting of four XR500E, two XR600E, two XR320D, and two XR400D, finished their tasks two weeks early, a testament to the smart deployment of superlative machinery by officials.
Neom also boasts an impressive workforce of 140,000 construction workers
dedicated to completing the city with zero carbon emissions. MBS’s PIF plays a crucial role in the rapid growth of this futuristic region in northwest Saudi Arabia, which is entirely powered by renewable energy. The first Neom project, Sindalah, a luxury island destination in the Red Sea, will open to the public later this year, showcasing the promise and potential of the Kingdom’s groundbreaking vision.
Neom City will also feature The Line, a 170-km-long city, Oxagon, the reimagined industrial model now known as Neom Port, and Trojena, the mountain resort, all of which are progressing steadily.
