| JUBAIL, SAUDI ARABIA |
Welcome
|
| Bechtel began work on the Jubail Industrial City project more than 30 years ago and is
still working in Jubail now. In fact, Jubail is the largest ongoing civil engineering
project in the world today. It also stands as one of the greatest achievements of Bechtel,
its employees, and families who worked and lived there. |
| |
| Bechtel has managed the Jubail project, located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, since it began in the mid-1970s, and in 2004, the Royal Commission for
Jubail and Yanbu asked the company to manage Jubail II, a $3.8 billion expansion of the
city’s industrial and residential areas. |
|
|
| |
| Jubail is a complete city, with all the industry, infrastructure, housing, shopping,
educational and medical facilities required to support its present population of almost
100,000 people. Saudi Arabian Bechtel Company (SABCO) performs ongoing engineering,
procurement and construction management. Jubail II will add a second industrial area to
house up to 22 new primary industries. The project calls for the expansion of King Fahd
Industrial Port, pipeline refurbishment, increasing capacity of the cooling system, and
new desalination plants. The team will prepare drawings and specifications and manage
construction of facilities to meet demand over the next 25 to 30 years. |
