Italy’s Webuild Group, through its subsidiary Salini Saudi Arabia, has secured a $1.06bn contract to build a multi-storey car park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The contract for Diriyah Square Package 2 Super-Basement Works has been awarded by Diriyah Development Company (DevCo), a development subsidiary of Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA).

Under the contract, Salini Saudi Arabia will undertake excavation and backfill for the three-level underground foundation construction. This includes all mechanical, electrical and plumbing, fire, safety and fit out. 

The three-storey underground parking area will have a total built up area of nearly one million square metres.

DGDA said that the new project will comprise an intricate network of underground roads and tunnels which will be situated below Diriyah Square with multiple access points.

The carpark will be built to connect to the existing road and bus network. It will include more than 2km of four-lane tunnels.
