Engineering and Infrastructure:
· The Line’s marina requires a 165-meter-wide waterway through 500-meter-tall buildings, presenting a major engineering challenge.
· Piling work began in 2023, with nine contractors engaged through a framework agreement, moving 1 million cubic meters of earth weekly.
· More than 120 foundation piles are being installed weekly as part of the infrastructure development.
Project Scope:
· The first phase will cover 2.5km across three modules, spanning 21 million sq m and accommodating approximately 200,000 residents.
·
In November 2024, Neom appointed leading
consultancy firms to oversee the city's core planning, design, and engineering:
o Delugan Meissl Associate Architects (Austria) – Urban Designer
o Gensler (US) – City Planning Consultant
o Mott MacDonald (UK) – City Infrastructure Engineer
