Hyundai to install 450 transmission towers in Saudi city Neom

Hyundai Engineering & Construction has won a $145 million contract for power transmission line in Saudi Arabia’s $500 billion futuristic city Neom.  

According to reports from South Korean media, Hyundai Engineering & Construction has emerged as the winner of a substantial $145 million contract aimed at constructing a power transmission line in Saudi Arabia. This project entails the installation of approximately 450 transmission towers designed to support over 200 kilometers of cable, establishing a crucial link between the Neom development area in the northwest of the kingdom and the Red Sea port of Yanbu.

The Neom development zone encompasses an expansive area of around 26,500 square kilometers and encompasses diverse emerging ventures, including a floating port, a ski resort, and a pioneering initiative known as "The Line," an impressive linear city stretching over 170 kilometers.

This power transmission line will be engineered as a 525kV direct current (DC) line, and it is projected to be delivered as a comprehensive turnkey project, with an anticipated completion date set for July 2027.

A representative from Hyundai conveyed, "Since our initial entry into the Saudi construction market in 1975, we have effectively executed 16 significant projects, including the Amiral Project and the Neom Running Tunnel. This history of accomplishment has engendered trust from the Saudi government and our clients over the years."
