King Salman International Airport Development Company has appointed delivery partners for Riyadh's King Salman International Airport project. US-based Bechtel has been selected as the delivery partner for the terminals, and Parsons, also US-based, has been chosen as the delivery partner for two packages. One covers the airside infrastructure, including the runways, taxiways, air traffic control towers, fuel farms and fire stations. The other involves the infrastructure that will connect the airport to the rest of the city, which includes utilities and roads. Delivery partner roles typically involve assisting the project client with the development of a project. This includes project management, design management, cost consulting and procurement advice. Delivery partners have been appointed for some of Saudi Arabia’s largest projects. For example, a team of Canada’s AtkinsRealis, Jacobs and Parsons, both US-based, is working as the delivery partner for The Line at Neom. UK-based architect Foster + Partners won the competition to design the masterplan for KSIA in 2023. Jacobs is doing the engineering work for the project. Construction progress Progress is also being made on construction packages. KSIADC has tendered a design-and-build contract to develop the third runway at King Salman International airport (KSIA) in Riyadh. The closing date for submitting bids is 24 March. 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. If the project is completed on time in 2030, King Salman International airport will become the largest airport in the world in terms of passenger capacity.   For registration as a supplier: https://www.pif.gov.sa/en/vendor-gate/ (ICE RIYADH)
