ROME (ITALPRESS) – In Saudi Arabia “we have started working and we are moving forward, the Trojena project is very important. We have just collected the advance of over 900 million dollars, so we think that it is a project that has the highest priority for the country, which is moving forward at full speed.” This is what Webuild CEO Pietro Salini declared on the sidelines of the conference “Everyone’s Constitution. Dialogue on the premiership” held today in the Chamber of Deputies in Rome. “In recent days the idea had been circulating that Saudi Arabia intended to review the programs, but from what I see I really don’t think that is the case,” he added. Salini. In Saudi Arabia, last January Webuild was awarded a contract worth USD 4.7 billion commissioned to Webuild by the client NEOM for the Trojena ski destination. Webuild will build a system of three dams that will feed the freshwater lake of the ski complex and innovative related works. Webuild will also build the futuristic Bow, an architectural structure that will extend the surface of the lake beyond the front of the main dam, it will have the shape of the bow of a ship suspended over the valley, and will host a luxury hotel, as well as a residential area and a large central atrium, with accommodation facilities. The main dam will be 145 meters high, 475 meters long, with a volume of approximately 2.7 million cubic meters. The artificial lake will cover an area of 1.5 square kilometers, with an island reserved for botanical diving and walking. The Lake, which will be the largest architecturally realized body of water in Saudi Arabia, is a central element of Trojena’s development plan. Located in the heart of the area, it will play a key role in the development and regeneration of Trojena, as it will allow you to experience the mountains, while becoming a reference hub for water sports and entertainment. For NEOM, Webuild is already building 57 kilometers of the Connector, the high-speed railway line that will connect “Oxagon” to “The Line”. In Saudi Arabia, Webuild is also building Metro Line 3 in Riyadh, which at 42 kilometers will be the longest in the Saudi capital’s metro network, and the “Diriyah Square – Package 2 Super-Basement Works”, the structure of the new district of Ad-Diriyah, destined to accommodate an underground multi-storey car park with 10,500 spaces. With its subsidiary Fisia Italimpianti, it is then involved in the construction and subsequent management of the water treatment plant of the onshore ZULUF oil complex. In the country, where it has been present since the 1960s, Webuild has already built works such as the Kingdom Center in Riyadh ( awarded with the Emporis Skyscraper Award 2002 as the best skyscraper in the world by design), more than 70 healthcare facilities, and the Shuaibah-3 desalination plant in Jeddah, which obtained the Global Water Award 2020, category “Desalination Plant of the Year”, one of the most prestigious awards in the water treatment and desalination sector.-photo Agenzia Fotogramma-(ITALPRESS).
