China and Saudi Arabia cooperate in the construction of “The Future City”, covering an area of 26,000 square kilometers, with 140,000 people working simultaneously to participate in this historic construction project.
Chinese companies have undertaken a US$500 billion mega project in Saudi Arabia. This project not only broke the urban construction record, but was also an important milestone in Saudi Arabia history. This emerging city called “Line City” is a beacon of future development.
In the vast desert, the cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia is presenting a magnificent picture. Three thousand tower cranes are like soaring dragons, and 140,000 workers are working together to fight on the construction site of Saudi Arabia's future city. This spectacular scene not only demonstrated China's outstanding capabilities in infrastructure construction, but also attracted global attention and further consolidated China's leading position in the international infrastructure field.
To achieve this ambitious goal, China dispatched 3,000 tower cranes and 140,000 workers to participate in this historic construction project. The core of the Line City is a linear city, 170 kilometers long and 500 meters high, with exterior walls made of mirrored glass, designed to provide residents with a comfortable and convenient living environment. The efficient transportation network keeps residents’ commuting time within 20 minutes, achieving the ideal state of zero emissions and smooth traffic.
Looking back five years ago, when this project started, all sectors of society paid close attention to its prospects. Today, the Saudi New City project, which is being built with the participation of SINOHYDRO FOUNDATION ENGINEERING CO., LTD, has made significant progress at several key points. The maximum hole depth test pile pouring work was successfully completed, with a depth of 101.1 meters, and the total weight of the steel cage hoisting reached 50 tons. These achievements indicate that the construction of the "Line City" is progressing steadily.
Today, the “Line City” is no longer just talk, but a real miracle rising in the desert. It is not only the pride of Saudi Arabia, but will also be a powerful testimony to China’s infrastructure strength. The outstanding team of SINOHYDRO FOUNDATION ENGINEERING CO., LTD, with its extraordinary construction capabilities, successfully completed the construction of ultra-large diameter cast-in-place piles and became a leader in the industry. This experimental device is located in the core area of the new city and will be a world-class hidden pier and a landmark building in the future.
The design of this pier organically integrates natural water flow with urban life, demonstrates the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and creates a new model of sustainable development. Here, even the world-famous Dubai Tower and Palm Island seem insignificant compared to Saudi Arabia’s grand blueprint. The Saudi Crown Prince once described his vision for this new city as follows: "Line City" will be a microcosm of the future.
In the Line City, the ground floor is set as a pedestrian area, surrounded by green plants. The second floor is the commercial area, and the third floor is the backbone structure of the city. Such planning aims to create a future city that coexists harmoniously with nature. In this vast desert, a new futuristic city is rising, becoming a center for the movement of goods and people.
The two towering buildings are connected by a spacious walkway, forming a unique urban landscape. Parks, trails, schools, homes, and workplaces are clearly organized so that residents can easily get where they need to go. On the quiet surface, without the hustle and bustle of cars, the bus system is cleverly hidden, and you can cross the city in 20 minutes.
In addition, “Line City” also widely use artificial intelligence and robotics technology, and the seamless connection between physical and digital infrastructure makes the city smarter. It is worth noting that the city was designed by an internationally renowned architectural firm, and no less than nine technology and engineering consulting companies were involved in its construction to ensure the comprehensiveness and perfection of the project.
