Egis consortium to assess safety for key Neom rail projects
Neom has signed up
construction group Egis consortium to act as independent safety assessor (ISA)
for the railway system within its mega projects - The Line and Neom Industrial
City Connector (NICC).
The consortium partners
include Certifer, an international leader in the railway systems and guided
transport testing, inspection and certification market, and Egis subsidiary
AuditSafe.
The Line is a linear urban
development of hyper connected communities with walkable neighbourhoods,
powered by 100% renewable energy as part of Neom.
The transport system will
be located at the physical and digital infrastructure layer beneath the ground
of The Line, and will weave 5G, fibre, satellite, and wireless solutions
throughout the communities of the urban development.
High-speed transport links
will allow residents to reach any part of The Line within 20-minutes, it
stated.
NICC will comprise several
individual lines: high speed rail lines, freight rail lines, Metro/GMT rail
lines, depot rail lines and platform loops.
Neom is expected to emerge
as a leading global hub that exemplifies the future of human civilization by
offering its inhabitants an idyllic lifestyle combined with exceptional
economic prospects.
A major player in
infrastructure engineering, consultancy and project management, Egis operates
in 13 countries across the Middle East completing over 500 projects in 15
countries in the region and recruiting nearly 2,500 employees.
It has operations in the
Middle East and has contributed to some of the region’s biggest airport, rail,
water, urban mobility and urban development schemes.
