LOS ANGELES (July 9, 2019) – AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm, today announced that it has been awarded a multi-year contract to provide project management consultancy (PMC) services for Phase 1 of NEOM Bay, a US$500 billion mega-project being developed in northwestern Saudi Arabia. AECOM’s scope will include project management, contract administration, technical and environmental support services, and site supervision over the entire design and construction phases of the project.

“We are very pleased to be part of this ambitious new project. Our expertise delivering leading project management services in the Middle East will help ensure the success of NEOM Bay Phase 1,” said Michael S.

Located in the northwestern part of Saudi Arabia, at the intersection with Jordan and Egypt, NEOM Bay will be a special economic zone and diverse society offering world-class education, healthcare and culture for a new way of living. Once complete, NEOM Bay Phase 1 will span a 45-square kilometer area and be comprised of several thousand residential units, leisure, retail, commercial, public and entertainment facilities with supporting infrastructure and utilities.
