Parsons Corporation has been selected to provide construction project management consultancy and contract administration services for a mega real estate project in Saudi Arabia, which includes a 5km tunnel.
Under the US$15m contract, which is part of the Rua Al-Madinah project in the holy city of Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, Parsons will manage the main infrastructure works, including the tunnel, road and utility works.
The vehicle tunnel will be a concrete rectangular structure measuring 32m x 10m. Situated in a central area of the city, the tunnel is designed to improve the traffic flow to the city centre where Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, known in English as the Prophet’s Mosque, is located.
