Saudi Arabia’s NEOM Co. (NEOM) has selected Parsons Corporation to provide project management support in building OXAGON, a recently-launched reimagined industrial city within the gigaproject.
Parsons will work closely with NEOM and OXAGON to deliver project management, technical, commercial and construction management services to deliver a fully functioning industrial city.
Commenting on the contract, Martin Boson, general manager, Parsons in Saudi Arabia said: “Saudi Arabia’s leadership is driving the future vision for the gigaproject, and we are honoured to support them in building the pioneering cognitive city of OXAGON, which will become home for some of the most forward thinking and visionary companies in the Kingdom.”
He continued: “Parsons’ long-legacy of designing, building, and delivering large infrastructure projects, especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, underpins our partnership with NEOM on this visionary endeavour.”
Details on NEOM’s OXAGON
OXAGON is the next phase of the gigaproject’s master plan and represents a radical new model for future manufacturing centres, based on the gigaproject’s strategies of redefining the way humanity lives and works in the future.
The onshore development at OXAGON is expected to be completed by 2030 with the aim to have the city’s logistics solutions facilities in place by 2025.
The new city will be located in NEOM, a region that covers a total area of more than 26,000km2 along the coast of the Red Sea in Northwest Saudi Arabia.
