Webuild confirms progress on NEOM projects amid leadership change<\/p>\n
By Rehan Khan<\/p>\n
ISLAMABAD: Italy’s leading construction firm, Webuild, has confirmed that its activities related to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious NEOM project are progressing according to plan, despite the recent resignation of the mega project’s long-time chief executive.<\/p>\n
According to a report, Webuild reassured stakeholders, stating, “Webuild has no evidence of changes in the activity plan initially set for the projects it is implementing, nor has it recorded any delay in payments.”<\/p>\n
NEOM, a ground-breaking urban and industrial development along the Red Sea, spans an area nearly the size of Belgium. Envisioned as a smart city housing nine million residents, it forms a critical pillar of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which intends to diversify the Kingdom\u2019s economy beyond oil dependency.<\/p>\n
The unexpected departure of NEOM\u2019s CEO last week, without an official explanation, has stirred speculation about potential adjustments to the project’s scale and ambitions.<\/p>\n
Webuild, a company with a six-decade presence in Saudi Arabia, is currently working on a system of three dams designed to supply water to an artificial lake in NEOM’s Trojena area. Additionally, the firm is constructing a high-speed railway, known as the Connector, which will integrate the futuristic city’s\u00a0infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
