NEOM is the 26,500 square kilometer Saudi Arabia construction site with a $500 Billion budget, with a sustainable utopian notion. It's that 100 mile long wall shaped city you've heard of, plus, a new port for international trade, and a mountain resort. And it's being built with about 10,000 Caterpillar construction vehicles

NEOM is made up of three core projects. Trojena is a destination resort built around a lake in Saudi Arabia’s snowy mountain range. Oxagon will be the world’s largest floating structure and an industry hub that will service 13% of the world’s trade. And The Line, perhaps the most impressive of all. A totally unique city that stretches over 170 kilometres (110 miles) long and yet is just 200 meters (660ft) wide.

Once built, The Line’s mirrored city walls will be home to 9 million people. Residents lucky enough to live here will be supported by a futuristic infrastructure that will give them access to all their basic amenities within a 5-minute walk. While a high-speed rail link will run the whole length of The Line in as little as 20 minutes.

With neither roads nor cars and 95% of its land preserved for nature, The Line will also be carbon neutral, with a 0% carbon footprint.

As you would expect, with sustainability at its core, there is a strong emphasis on renewable energy, water conservation and reuse, and a circular waste management system that promises zero waste to landfill. While the city itself will be powered by wind and solar panels.

Zahid Tractor has supplied many of the 5,000 tractors, excavators, loaders, graders, and trucks currently on-site, and that number is expected to double over the coming year. All of these will be kept very busy as just the preparation for the foundations alone will involve moving approximately 500 million cubic meters of soil.
