General Building and Finishes for Egress Shafts at the Riyadh Metro Project

The Riyadh Metro Project is one of the largest and most advanced public transportation developments in the Middle East, designed to transform urban mobility and enhance the quality of life across the city. Within this complex infrastructure, egress shafts play a critical role in ensuring passenger safety, emergency accessibility, and operational efficiency.

The scope of General Building and Finishes for Egress Shafts involves the provision of comprehensive construction and finishing services that meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and functionality. These shafts serve as essential access and exit points, enabling safe evacuation, maintenance access, and smooth integration with the metro network.

Construction works typically include structural concrete works, blockwork, waterproofing systems, and precise coordination with mechanical, electrical, and fire-life safety systems. Every element is executed in accordance with strict engineering specifications and international safety codes to ensure long-term performance under demanding operational conditions.

Finishing works are carried out with equal attention to detail, focusing on durability, ease of maintenance, and user safety. This includes floor and wall finishes, protective coatings, handrails, doors, signage, and architectural elements designed to withstand heavy use while maintaining a clean and functional appearance. Materials are carefully selected to ensure resistance to fire, moisture, and wear, in line with metro authority requirements.

Through the delivery of high-quality general building and finishing works, the egress shafts contribute directly to the overall reliability and functionality of the Riyadh Metro system. This scope of work supports safe and efficient public access, enhances emergency preparedness, and reinforces the project’s commitment to world-class infrastructure standards.

The successful execution of these works reflects a strong emphasis on engineering excellence, safety compliance, and seamless integration within one of the region’s most ambitious transportation projects.
