Concrete sleepers & slab track

Investment Description

The planned metro projects in Jeddah, Mecca, Medina and Dammam, as well as the Saudi-Bahrain railway, the Jeddah commuter rail, the Saudi Landbridge, and the GCC railway will create an estimated USD 3.7 billion opportunity for concrete sleepers and slab track.

Existing local suppliers of concrete products include Bina Precast, PCM Strescon, and Al Mobty.

A strategic JV with an established multinational manufacturer may be required to unlock value by vertically integrating the local supply base.

Initial investment: USD 670-820 million.
