When I first heard of The Line, I thought it was a gimmick that would NEVER get built.

Now I'm not so sure.

The construction of NEOM, Saudi Arabia‘s future gigacity, is now well underway, with significant development achieved since the last progress film was shared with the world in January 2023. The second video, launched today (October 11, 2023) at 14:00 KSA time, reveals rapid advancements in the destination’s key regions, bolstered by large-scale investments and supported by market-leading partners, and talent from more than 90 countries. With more than 60,000 workers currently on ground, footage reveals construction progress on THE LINE, Oxagon, Sindalah and Trojena moving forward quickly, with major infrastructure projects like roads, utilities and a hospital already built.

Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has granted the contract for the construction of the NEOM Mountain substation to Al Gihaz Contracting Company Saudi Arabia. The project site is situated within the futuristic NEOM mega-city in Saudi Arabia.

The contract, valued at $198.3 million, represents a major step forward for the ambitious energy infrastructure project. The awarded scope of work includes the establishment of a state-of-the-art indoor 380/132kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS), aptly named the NEOM Mountain BSP.
Integral components of the project include the installation of crucial equipment, including the GIS systems, power transformers, reactors, a sophisticated protection and control System, Substation Automation System, Telecommunication System, Security System, Cybersecurity measures, Civil works, and comprehensive Electro-mechanical installations.

Unveiling a sneak peek into the future with 'Hidden Marina', the first district of THE LINE in KSA, the revolutionary vertical city. THE LINE is redefining urban living with its renewable energy-powered, AI-controlled, and carbon-emission-free environment.

The project is moving along quickly, with 20% of the necessary infrastructure already in place, and is expected to be ready to welcome its residents and tourists by 2030. Their 'kit of parts' construction method is exciting since it promises quicker, safer, and more effective structures.

With sustainability and efficiency at its foundation, this cutting-edge metropolis is on course to provide residents a living experience unlike any other.

It is really exciting to see the progress in Neom. We continue to be the generation witnessing the transformation as this visionary futuristic mega-city rises from the sands! Check this recent aerial footage!
