Mannai wins Riyadh development contract from China Harbour
The two-year project falls under Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan to build culture, commerce and urban destinations.
Mannai IT KSA, the Saudi subsidiary of Qatar's Mannai Corporation, won a major contract for a development project in Riyadh, Qatar's state news agency QNA reported on Tuesday.
Under the contract from China Harbour Engineering Company, Mannai Corporation will deliver mechanical, electrical, public health and technology works, along with technology systems, the company said in a statement.
The company said the project is part of one of the kingdom's most ambitious urban transformation initiatives, which aims to create world-class destinations that combine culture, commerce and modern urban living.
The company said the development is expected to contribute to Riyadh's changing urban landscape and support the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
Mannai Corporation will be responsible for the full scope of those services, as well as the technology infrastructure meant to make the site smart, integrated and future-ready.
The project is scheduled to be completed over two years under an accelerated delivery programme, the company said, reflecting its strategic importance within the wider development plans.
Saudi Vision 2030 is the kingdom's long-term economic plan, launched in 2016, to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy away from oil and expand sectors such as tourism, entertainment and culture.
Large urban projects in Riyadh form a major part of that effort, and contracts for building services and technology systems are a common feature of such developments.
