Saudi Arabia’s gigaproject developer Red Sea Global has announced that the construction works on its Red Sea International airport are 80% complete. “The concrete works and steel structures are in place on our main passenger terminal, giving shape to the building as the roofing progresses. Our landscaping efforts are under way, vital mechanical systems have been installed, and the baggage tunnel is fully constructed,” the company said on social networking website LinkedIn. Local contractor Masah Specialised Construction is carrying out the construction works on the terminal building. In 2020, a joint venture of local contractors Nesma & Partners Contracting Company and Almabani General Contractors won an estimated $250m contract covering the airside infrastructure. The contract includes designing and building a 3,700-metre runway, a seaplane runway, taxiways and pavement works, aeronautical navigational aids, aerodrome ground lighting, airside utilities, helipads, roads and associated buildings. TRSDC awarded the design contract for the airport to the UK’s Foster + Partners in October last year. Canada’s WSP is working as a sub-consultant for Foster + Partners in engineering. In October last year, Red Sea International airport welcomed a ceremonial flight operated by national carrier Saudia. In January 2021, Red Sea Global signed a deal with Ireland’s DAA International to deliver airfield and terminal operations, aviation services, facilities management, commercial activities and corporate and financial services for the airport.     For registration as supplier: https://www.redseaglobal.com/en/vendor-registration (ICE RIYADH)
