Transport and Mining CTW300 Saudi North- South Railway Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

26- 27 Laing O'Rourke Annual Review 2009 Using experience gained building railways across inhospitable terrain, we are managing and delivering the main track work and rail systems as part of a joint venture with a local civil engineering contractor. The scope of the project includes programme management, procurement, and rail system design and delivery. The project commenced in April 2007 and is scheduled for completion in late 2010. The Saudi North- South Railway, the CTW300, is a new rail line spanning approximately 800 km across remote desert, linking the Jordanian border to key Gulf ports and also Riyadh. While intended primarily for the transportation of minerals and raw materials, it is also a passenger railway.
