  1. Hi all, this is the terrain cross-section profile along the full planned 170km project.
    It runs from sea level on westernmost tip through to mountains up to 1000m high plateau (where there are already visible earthworks: https://soar.earth/maps/15035?) ending on the 1300m mountains in the easternmost tip (https://soar.earth/maps/13617).
    Considering the project states the building will be 500m high, how do you think it will be actually constructed on the terrain profile? Thanks

    One of the world’s largest ever renewable power projects and a global pioneer in green hydrogen mega-production – Saudi Arabia’s Neom – announced financial close on a project that will cost of $8.4bn.
    Neom Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) – a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and the vast Saudi Neom future city project – plan to deploy 4GW of wind, solar and batteries to produce up to 600 tonnes a day of green ammonia using more than 2GW of hydrogen electrolysis.

    The JV said today (Monday) that it had reached financial close on the project after signing agreements with “23 local, regional, and international banks, and investment firms” covering $6.1bn of non-recourse finance, becoming the world’s first giga-scale H2 initiative to reach FID.

    Webuild and Shibh Al Jazira Contracting (SAJCO) have been awarded a contract to construct a 57km, 230km/h passenger and freight line in Neom. The train will connect Oxagon, the region’s industrial center, and The Line, a 105-mile-long desert city. Webuild will spearhead the civil works for two high-speed and two freight railway tracks in a distinct destination after leading challenging industry projects, such as the Terzo Valico dei Giovi between Genoa and Milan.


    Neom aims to be a futuristic city that incorporates advanced technologies and sustainable practices. One of the critical aspects of the development plan is establishing an efficient transportation system, including constructing a high-speed rail network. The ultimate goal is to connect Neom with other major cities in Saudi Arabia, such as Riyadh and Jeddah, and potentially extend into neighboring countries. The wealthy nation is also set to launch its first luxury train akin to the Orient Express, taking passengers on a 1300 km journey across the Kingdom.

    The Line: Huge #earthworks are well underway to prepare for its #construction (or at least part of it). Work is taking place at different sites along the entire length of the 170km-long project including tunnelling sites and work to create the Spine: the high speed #rail link running the length of the project. You can see significant stretches of earth that have been dug out and piled into hills. New roads run alongside the site which you can drive along and see a lot of the work underway

    Due to the vastness of the area included in the plan, Neom recently announced plans to also launch its own airline, which is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2024.
    The airline will allow all tourists, residents and business partners to travel to and from the megacities under construction. The airline will initially upgrade existing equipment and technologies, but plans to invest in next-generation electric, hydrogen-powered, or supersonic aircraft starting in 2026, to offer a sustainable, and digitally advanced flight experience.

  7. That is just unbelievably insane. The Line is being constructed over its entire length all at the same time?
