OXAGON Village Utility Culverts

In the heart of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious NEOM — a global beacon of sustainable urban development and technological innovation — a transformative infrastructure endeavor is underway, silently shaping the foundations of a futuristic city. The OXAGON Village Utility Culverts project stands as a cornerstone of this vision, embodying the meticulous engineering and forward-thinking required to realize NEOM’s goal of a seamless, smart, and resilient urban ecosystem. Spanning approximately 4.5 kilometers, this monumental endeavor involves the construction of two major utility culverts, strategically designed to optimize the routing of essential underground utilities (both DRY & WET) within the OXAGON development. By integrating advanced infrastructure solutions, the project not only ensures the safe and organized passage of utilities today but also anticipates the demands of future expansion, aligning with NEOM’s commitment to scalability and long-term sustainability.

The scope of this project is as vast as its ambitions: it begins with comprehensive site surveys and clearance, followed by extensive earthworks that involve precise grading, cutting, and compaction over a staggering 4.25 million cubic meters of material. Recognizing the importance of foundational integrity, the team systematically removes and replaces unsuitable earth to achieve optimal ground conditions, a critical step in ensuring structural stability. At the core of the project lies the construction of reinforced concrete culverts — a complex process involving the meticulous assembly of Precast Concrete Boxes stitched with Cast in cast-in-place concrete. To safeguard these structures against the region’s environmental challenges, advanced waterproofing systems are applied, further enhancing their longevity and resistance to groundwater intrusion.

What sets this project apart is not merely its scale but the rigorous precision with which every phase is executed. From the controlled backfilling and compaction processes to the integration of smart design features that accommodate future utility needs, every detail reflects a commitment to excellence. The sheer magnitude of earthworks, combined with the technical complexity of structural and waterproofing solutions, underscores Abyatona’s proven expertise in managing high-stakes, large-scale projects within demanding environments. As NEOM continues to rise as a model for next-generation cities, the OXAGON Village Utility Culverts project executed by ABYATONA stands not just as an infrastructure achievement but as a symbolic bridge between today’s challenges and tomorrow’s possibilities.
