Australian firm Glaass has won a subcontract from Italian contractor WeBuild for the Trojena dams project in Neom, Saudi Arabia. In an official statement, the firm said that its contract scope covers providing comprehensive quality, health, safety and environmental services for the project, which involves around 2,800 field workers. Neom awarded the $5bn contract to Webuild in late 2023. The deal covers the construction of three dams that will form a freshwater lake for the Trojena ski resort. The main dam will have a height of 145 metres and will be 475 metres long at its crest. It will be built using 2.7 million cubic metres of roller compact concrete (RCC). Some 650,000 cubic metres of RCC will be used to build a dam within the planned lake to create an island below the water level. The kidney-shaped dam will have a height of 38 metres and will be 700 metres long. It will be connected to the nearby Lake Village by an underwater tunnel. The landscaping and other attractions within the dam are known as the Enchanted Forest. The third dam will have a height of 65 metres and will be 490 metres long at its crest. It will be constructed using 4.15 million cubic metres of rockfill. The works also include the lakebed line and the foundations for the Bow Building, a concrete structure at the end of the lake that will overhang the valley below and incorporate a hotel.   For registration as a supplier: https://www.neom.com/en-us/our-business/suppliers (ICE RIYADH)
