Diriyah Company concludes largest concrete pour to date

Riyadh –Diriyah Company witnessed its largest volume concrete pour in a single location to date this week. As the development of the Diriyah project moves forward, infrastructure progress is yielding significant success.

Located in the southern portion of the development our contractor El Seif Engineering Construction and China State Construction joint venture poured 6100m³ of reinforced concrete for the underground Main Spine Tunnel roundabout base slab, which further connects to four adjacent tunnels.

Utilizing a fleet of 75+ concrete trucks, from 5 separate batching plants on site and 7 pumps, the pour was completed in 21 hours, ahead of schedule due to seamless coordination between the batching plants and logistics teams.
