NEOM The Line is the name given to this project located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, which involves the construction of four enormous structures, with special attention given to the city of The Line. The city is designed from scratch to accommodate a population of 9 million people in the middle of the desert.
As part of this unprecedented initiative, TESA ASSA ABLOY will be responsible for equipping five towns with the SMARTair access control system. These towns are being built to accommodate professionals participating in the execution of this mega project. These professionals include architects, surveyors, consultants, engineers, assemblers, and more, who will reside in various housing units throughout the years of construction.
All the housing units will be prefabricated and installed in the middle of the desert, after the sand movement, for approximately eight years. With over 15 towns under construction, TESA ASSA ABLOY has secured the contract to equip five of them, which entails installing over 22,000 doors with their SMARTair solution. Furthermore, there is the possibility of new opportunities arising in other towns where the bidding process is taking place.
According to the company's Marketing Director, Carlos Expósito, "We have conducted meticulous work in identifying the project, preparing the proposal, and providing continuous support and close collaboration between our team in Irun and the Saudi counterparts. Undoubtedly, our SMARTair solution has prevailed due to its advanced security features and access control functionalities, even in such extreme environments as Saudi Arabia."
