New Riyadh Metro (Saudi Arabia)

The activity carried out by BOLINA falls within the project of the new metro network of the city of Riyadh. The project envisages the strengthening of the city’s infrastructural network through the construction of new underground lines built for most of their elevated development.

Along the development of the line, most of the viaducts are built with post-compressed prefabricated segment technology. The spans covered by the viaducts vary from 17m to 72m up to 120m of the longest planned viaduct with cantilever launch. BOLINA has been involved on 2 fronts concerning FEM analysis and the production of shop drawings. In the first case, BOLINA took care of the design of the launching phases and the verification of the executive project while, as regards the design, it provided for the drafting of shop drawings, construction of the reinforcements and development of technical solutions necessary for assembly.
