Riyadh Metro Successfully Delivered by Parsons-Led Joint Venture
December 02 2024 - 3:05PM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN), announced today that the official
inauguration took place on 27 November 2024 for the $27 billion
Riyadh Metro. Parsons is one of three consultants working as part
of a Parsons-led joint venture known as the Riyadh Metro Transit
Consultants (RMTC), along with Egis and SYSTRA, providing project
and construction management on two of the Royal Commission for
Riyadh City’s (RCRC) Riyadh Metro contracts which Parsons has now
successfully delivered.
“From its inception, the Riyadh Metro was
conceived as a transformative project to reshape urban mobility and
dramatically improve the lives of residents and visitors alike. On
behalf of Parsons, a long-term partner of the RCRC, and the lead
consultant for the delivery of this world-class system, I would
like to congratulate His Majesty King Salman and His Royal Highness
Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman on its first day of operations,”
said Pierre Santoni, President, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons. “We
look forward to supporting the city of Riyadh and the Kingdom in
the successful completion of subsequent stages of the metro and the
wider Saudi Vision 2030, by using global experience and deep local
expertise to deliver excellence on every project.”
The Riyadh Metro is set to be the longest
driverless metro line in the world, made up of 176.5 kilometers of
track, 86 transit stations, and 7 rail depots. The project marks a
significant milestone in the Kingdom's infrastructure development
journey. In addition to using the latest technology to provide a
world-class transportation experience, the project addresses
Riyadh’s traffic challenges and will improve traffic flows, reduce
commute times and alleviate traffic congestion creating a more
sustainable future for the capital city in line with the Saudi
Vision 2030.
As of August 2024, RMTC worked more than 7
million hours lost time injury free, which is a testament to the
health, safety and environment (HSE) measures implemented on the
project. The project has had more than 450,000 HSE inductions and
over 13,000 HSE campaigns.
Parsons has partnered with more than 400 rail
and transit clients, working on large, complex brownfield expansion
and greenfield projects around the world. With a presence in EMEA
spanning more than 65 years, Parsons brings deep domain expertise
across project and program management, urban development,
transportation (including rail, metro, aviation, roads, and ports),
smart mobility, asset management, and master planning.
