Australian firm to work on Neom’s $5 billion Trojena dams project
Australian firm Glaass has been awarded a key subcontract in NEOM’s ambitious $5 billion Trojena Dams project. In an official announcement, Glaass revealed that its contract will cover around 2,800 field workers, with a focus on providing comprehensive quality, health, safety, and environmental services throughout the project.
NEOM awarded the $5 billion contract
to Webuild in late 2023, with the goal of constructing three dams that will
create a freshwater lake for the Trojena ski resort. The largest of the dams is
set to stand 145 meters high and stretch 475 meters across its crest,
constructed using 2.7 million cubic meters of roller-compacted concrete (RCC).

In addition, a smaller dam will be
built within the planned lake, featuring 650,000 cubic meters of RCC. This
kidney-shaped dam will be 38 meters tall and 700 meters long, creating an
island submerged below the water level.
Scope of the Trojena Dams Project
The Trojena Dams project will
involve the construction of three lakes, integral to the development of the
resort. The second, kidney-shaped dam will be connected to the nearby Lake
Village via an underwater tunnel. This dam will be surrounded by the Enchanted
Forest, landscaping, and various other attractions. The third dam will stand 65
meters high and span 490 meters across its crest, constructed using 4.15
million cubic meters of rockfill.

Additional works include the lakebed
lining and the foundations for the Bow Building, a concrete structure that will
overhang the valley beneath and house a hotel. Once completed, the Enchanted
Forest will become a major attraction within the dam’s landscape. Together, the
three dams will form the central lake of the Trojena Mountains resort, which
will host the 2029 Winter Asian Games.
