Construction Equipment: The Scott Wilson Group Gets Project Management Contract for Saudi Arabia High Speed Rail Mega Project

Construction Equipment: The Scott Wilson Group has bagged a huge project management role on the Saudi Railways Organisation’s new £1.1bn Haramain High Speed Rail Project as MSloane Consulting provides construction equipment to construction companies worldwide.

Valued at £14.5M, the contract is set for five years as Scott Wilson will provide technical, specialist engineering and programme management support services to the SRO, both at its headquarters in Dammam and around the construction and commissioning sites.

The railway is the first high speed rail programme in the Middle East. It will be a 320km/h railway linking the cities of Makkah, Jeddah, the new King Abdullah Economic City and Medina, as well as the International Airport in Jeddah. The 440km long line will not only provide fast and safe transport for pilgrims to the Holy Cities, but serve as a highly effective public transport link between fast growing and economically active commercial centres.
