📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of NEOM The Line Project.
Description:
NEOM will be backed by more than $500 billion over the coming years by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, local as well as international investors. The 100-mile-long (170 kilometres) mega-city will consist of connected communities – which it calls city modules – and link the Red Sea coast with the north-west of Saudi Arabia. It will be a part of Neom, Saudi Arabia's fully automated $500 billion region that will span Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt and be entirely powered by renewable energy. The city will have no cars or streets, with everything its inhabitants need accessible within a five-minute walk. High-speed transportation, utilities, digital infrastructure, and logistics will be seamlessly integrated in dedicated spaces running in an invisible layer along The Line.
Vehicles driven by artificial intelligence (AI), a metro line and high-speed freight transportation located underground. Overground will be a pedestrian layer supported by two underground layers – one service layer level of infrastructure directly underneath the ground and a lower-level spine layer for transport. This spine will connect the different communities, which Neom envisages will house one million inhabitants and be stretched across 100 miles. Transportation from one end of The Line to the other will never take more than 20 minutes, according to Neom's developers. Once the city is built, it is expected to contribute $48 billion to Saudi Arabia's economy. The AI-driven transportation will be made possible by massive data harnessing. In a statement, The Line's developers said its communities will be cognitive and powered by AI, which will continuously be learning predictive ways to make life easier. Buildings will be carbon-positive and powered by clean energy and according to Neom, the layout of The Line will mean that 95 per cent of the land in the Neom region, which is located on a key trade route. The tunnel project is a part of The Line’s infrastructure backbone.
