Four consortia prequalified for Riyadh metro
Arriyadh Development Authority expected to short-list prequalified firms to bid for construction package
Four consortia have been prequalified by Saudi Arabia’s Arriyadh Development Authority (ADA) to bid for construction packages for the Riyadh metro project.
The four groups were prequalified for the whole metro project, but the construction packages will be split into different packages, according to a MEED report.
Arriyadh is expected to shortlist prequalified firms to bid for the package to design and build lines 1 and 2 and/or 3, and will invite the prequalified firms to tender lines 4, 5 and 6 at a later date.
The metro will have six lines with a total length of 180km.
Lebanon-based Dar al-Handasah and France’s Egis Rail have worked on the preliminary designs for the metro project.
