Learning Outcomes

MARKET DRIVERS

Massive Underground Utilities Expansion

Riyadh's rapid population growth (8M in 2020 to 16M by 2030) is increasing demand for utilities like water, sewage, and electricity networks. Trenchless technology offers a less disruptive alternative to traditional construction, reducing traffic and life disruptions.

Simultaneous Giga Projects

Several Giga projects are under development in the country, requiring meticulous coordination to minimize the impact on traffic and existing infrastructure. To achieve this, adopting advanced technologies, such as trenchless solutions, is critical.

Stormwater Management

With increasing rainfall, Saudi Arabia is implementing stormwater and drainage programs across 13 municipalities, leading to significant construction of drainage networks.

Metro Construction

Giga projects include underground metro systems, which rely on trenchless tunnel boring technologies.

Wastewater and Sewage Networks

The country aims for 95% wastewater network coverage by 2030 (currently at 62%), requiring extensive infrastructure development.

Makkah’s Trenchless Solutions

Highly dense cities like Makkah rely on trenchless and micro-tunneling technologies for optimizing underground infrastructure in a bid to minimize disruptions.

Oil & Gas Pipeline Network

Significant construction efforts continue to expand Saudi Arabia's oil and gas pipeline infrastructure.
