Neom advances Trojena dams project with commercial negotiations

Neom, the visionary project in Saudi Arabia, has completed the technical evaluation phase for the Trojena dams. Currently, the client and selected contractors are engaged in negotiations regarding the commercial aspects of the project.

Neom initiated an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process earlier this year, involving three prominent contractors—Al-Ayuni (Saudi Arabia), Limak (Turkey), PowerChina (China), and WeBuild (Italy). The ECI process required the submission of methodologies and design proposals.

Following the technical evaluation of proposals, Neom is in the negotiation phase with the selected contractors. The final decision will determine the contractor for the 26-month contract.

The Trojena dams, estimated to cost around $2 billion, are pivotal for the creation of a central lake at the Trojena mountain resort, set to host the 2029 Asian Winter Games.

Main Dam: With a height of 145 meters and a length of 475 meters at its crest, the main dam will utilize 2.7 million cubic meters of roller compact concrete (RCC).

Secondary Dam: A kidney-shaped dam, 38 meters in height and 700 meters in length, will use 650,000 cubic meters of RCC. It will connect to Lake Village via an underwater tunnel and feature attractions like the Enchanted Forest.

Third Dam: Standing at 65 meters in height and 490 meters in length at its crest, the third dam will be constructed using 4.15 million cubic meters of rockfill. It includes features such as the lakebed line and foundations for the Bow Building.

The project involves the expertise of Singapore's Surbana Jurong as the engineer for the lake, with Aecom as the executive program manager. Bechtel, based in the US, was awarded the project management consultancy services contract for the Trojena development.

The Neom Time Travel tunnel, spanning 4.4 km, features twin-bored tunnels, ventilation shafts, and an at-grade section. The project is a crucial component of Neom's ambitious development plans, emphasizing sustainability and innovation. Stay tuned for further updates on this transformative initiative.
