Riyadh – Mubasher: OHL Arabia, a subsidiary of global infrastructure group OHLA, and Hassan Allam Construction Saudi Limited Company secured a contract award from Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) to execute the construction works for the Dammam 2nd Industrial City Railway Connection Project.
The alliance will undertake the full scope of civil and railway works, including the construction of a 22.7-kilometer single-track railway, along with extensive earthworks, civil foundations, and track infrastructure, according to a press release.
The project also features structural components, including a 265-meter bridge across Highway HW615 and a 118-meter bridge spanning the ARAMCO Pipeline Corridor.
Moreover, the deal covers the installation of signaling and telecommunication systems, as well as all required works for the Saudi Energy Company to ensure full integration of the new line into the wider network.
