NEOM, the sustainable region progressing rapidly in northwest Saudi Arabia, has announced a partnership with Asas Al-Mohileb to establish and operate a SAR 700 million ready-mix concrete facility.
The multi-plant factory, dedicated to producing concrete, will mainly service the construction of THE LINE, the linear city currently under development in NEOM.
Asas Al-Mohileb, a leading Saudi Arabian construction and engineering company, is currently building the complex of batching plants in NEOM. Leveraging their industry expertise, Asas Al-Mohileb will also operate the facility with a capacity to produce over 20,000 cubic meters of ready-mix green concrete per day.
As an advanced concrete production facility, the factory’s plants will incorporate carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology and energy-saving solutions, with majority of output servicing the construction of THE LINE. With concrete being a core material for THE LINE’s substructure and superstructure, the new factory has mobilized a fleet of support vehicles in readiness for operations to commence next month. Peak operations are anticipated to start in 2025, and the facility is expected to generate over 500 local jobs.
The establishment of the plant comes as construction on THE LINE progresses quickly. Work on the foundation piles has begun, with nearly 1,000 out of over 30,000 piles placed so far.
