Spanish infrastructure major FCC has achieved a key milestone in the construction of a crucial tunnel coming up within Saudi Arabia's ambitious futuristic city project NEOM. The tunnel, which runs 8.7km long, comes within 'The Spine' layer of NEOM's development plan. The Spine is the infrastructure corridor running below the 500-m-tall, mirrored buildings that extend over 170 km, known as The Line, running from the Red Sea coast inland towards Tabuk.
This section is designed to accommodate high-speed trains, transportation vehicles, and freight trains, facilitating seamless connectivity between The Line area and the Oxagon area, which are vital hubs for advanced industries. The tunnel project is being handled by a consortium spearheaded by FCC Construcción with China State Construction Engineering Corporation and Shibh Al Jazira Contracting Company as partners. The tunnels work will extend over 28 km in length and provide separate tunnels for high-speed and freight rail services - making the movement of people and goods faster, safer and easier.
