Saudi Arabia is accelerating the construction of the Riyadh monorail project, part of the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) development plan, L415N steel, which aims to improve transportation in the capital and generate new demand for structural steel and building materials in the coming years.
According to official sources, Egis has been appointed as the project's on-site supervisory consultant, with a scope of work covering vehicle, track system, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, architecture, public facilities and landscaping, as well as the review of construction drawings, construction methods and materials, L415N steel, and comprehensive supervision of compliance and quality control during construction.
The monorail line is 3.6 kilometers long and will operate as a one-way loop, equipped with six double-carriage trains. It will pass through six stations embedded in public buildings and will directly connect to the Riyadh Metro. The project will also be integrated with the KAFD's plan for the world's longest elevated walkway network. Trial operation is expected to begin in early 2027.
Industry insiders believe that the monorail project will consume a large amount of structural steel and steel components for the construction of the elevated track, stations, and supporting facilities. L415N steel, It will also drive demand for rebar and steel profiles in civil engineering and landscaping projects. Against the backdrop of "Vision 2030" promoting localization, Saudi Arabian steel mills are expected to play a significant supply role in this project.
