King Salman International Airport Development Company (KSIADC), backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, has floated the tender for a design-and-build contract to develop the third runway at King Salman International airport (KSIA) in Riyadh.  The notice was issued in the last week of February with a bid submission deadline of 24 March. It is understood that the third and fourth runways will add to the two existing runways at Riyadh’s King Khalid International airport, which will eventually become part of KSIA. In February, firms submitted prequalification forms for a contract to develop the third runway and taxiways at KSIA on 18 January. KSIADC received interest from firms on 18 December for the package. KSIADC prequalified firms in September for the main engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) packages and  early and enabling works and other elements of the construction work. These include specialist systems and integration, specialist systems, materials and equipment, engineering and design, professional services, health, safety, security, environment and wellbeing, modular installation and prefabrication, local content and environmental, social and governance (ESG), and other services. The entire scheme is divided into eight assets. These include: Iconic Terminal Terminal 6 Private aviation terminal Central runway and temporary apron Hangars Landside transport Cargo buildings Real estate In August last year, KSIADC appointed several architectural and design firms for the various elements of the project. KSIADC confirmed that it signed up UK-based Foster + Partners to design the airport’s masterplan, including the terminals, six runways and a multi-asset real estate area.   US-based engineering firm Jacobs will provide specialist consultancy services for the masterplan and the design of the new runways. The client also confirmed the appointment of UK-based engineering firm Mace for the delivery partner role on the project. The airspace design consultancy contract was awarded to the local firm Nera.
