Mannai Information Technology KSA (MIT KSA), has been awarded a major contract by China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), an international engineering and construction company for the delivery of mechanical, electrical, public health services and technology works on a landmark development forming part of one of Riyadh’s flagship giga-projects.
The development forms part of one of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious urban transformation initiatives, contributing to the Kingdom’s vision of creating world-class destinations that bring together culture, commerce and contemporary urban living. Representing a significant addition to Riyadh’s evolving urban landscape, the project reflects the scale and ambition of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 agenda.
Under the contract, Mannai will deliver the full scope of mechanical, electrical and Public health services systems together with the technology systems that will make the development a smart, connected and future-ready landmark. The project will be executed over a period of two years on a fast-tracked programme, reflecting the strategic importance of the development to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambitions.
Mannai brings deep technology and integration experience from delivering mission-critical systems for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 venues and related infrastructure. This experience in delivering world-class venues to immovable deadlines and the highest international standards positions Mannai to meet the demanding schedule, technical complexity and quality expectations of a fast-tracked giga-project.
By combining MEP and technology contracting under a single, integrated delivery model, Mannai will reduce interface risk, accelerate programme certainty and provide a seamless path from design coordination through to testing, commissioning and handover.
Commenting on the significance of the award, Lakshimi Narayanan, General Manager, Mannai Information Technology KSA, said: “We are honoured to be entrusted by China Harbour Engineering Company with this iconic development, one of the most significant destinations taking shape in Riyadh today. This award reflects the confidence our partners place in Mannai’s ability to deliver complex, integrated MEP and technology programmes at pace. We bring the same discipline and technology leadership that we demonstrated on FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and we are proud to contribute to the Kingdom’s transformation under Vision 2030.”
Commenting on the collaboration, Liu Xuanyuan, CHEC’s Project Director, said: “We are pleased to welcome Mannai as our MEP and technology systems partner for this landmark development in Riyadh. The successful delivery of a project of this scale requires strong collaboration, technical expertise and a shared commitment to quality, safety and programme objectives. We look forward to working closely with Mannai and all project stakeholders to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions that contribute to the successful completion of the development and support Riyadh’s continued growth.”
