Piling work progresses on The Line modules

EARLY last month Giles Pendleton, Chief Operations Officer on The Line, indicated that massive amounts of excavation and piling are under way on Modules 44 to 48 of The Line, a linear city that stretches across 170 km, from the mountains at Trojena across desert valleys to the Red Sea at the Gulf of Aqaba.

The LinkedIn Post was part of his Neom is Real series, which provides a periodic update on the project.

In addition, to assure its global audience, Neom last month announced that it is establishing and operating a SR700-million ($186 million) readymix concrete facility, which will mainly service the construction of The Line. The multi-plant concrete production facility is being set up in partnership with Asas Al-Mohileb, a leading Saudi Arabian construction and engineering company.

The establishment of the plant comes as construction on The Line gathers pace.

Work on the foundation piles is under way, with nearly 1,000 out of over 30,000 piles placed so far, according to Neom.

Peak operations are anticipated to start in 2025, and the facility is expected to generate over 500 local jobs.
