NEOM, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest integrated development project, has successfully completed construction phases of its underground parking and light rail systems ahead of schedule in July 2024. Assisted by ten high-capacity rotary drilling rigs from XCMG Machinery, the project achieved remarkable daily progress by completing three piles per day per drilling rig.

NEOM's recent completion marks a significant milestone in the construction of its ambitious zero-carbon city initiative led by the Saudi Arabia government. The underground parking and light rail are integral components designed to bolster NEOM's commitment to leading-edge sustainable transportation solutions. This phase was expedited thanks to the efficiency brought by XCMG's rotary drilling rigs, which managed deep foundation work even in challenging sandy geologies.

This accomplishment supports NEOM's goal of building a city with zero carbon emissions and sustainable energy use. Currently employing over 140,000 construction workers on-site for this mega project since its inception in 2017, NEOM continues to push boundaries with cutting-edge technology implementations across all facets of urban development.
