Saudi’s NEOM giga project is building a SAR 700 million ($186 million) ready-mix green concrete facility in partnership with local company Asas Al-Mohileb to cater to the construction of The Line mega city.

Work on the foundation piles of the linear urban development, located in north-west Saudi Arabia, has begun, with nearly 1,000 out of over 30,000 piles placed to date.

The complex of batching plants will produce over 20,000 cubic metres per day (m3/day) of ready-mix green concrete when peak operations start in January 2025, according to a press statement by NEOM. It will also incorporate carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technology and energy-saving solutions.
