Project Name: NEOM Smart City – Phase 1 Utilities
Product Scope: Hot-Dip Galvanized Cable Trays, Seismic Supports (Seismic Bracing Systems)
Project Status: In Progress | Delivery Year: 2025
Client/Owner: NEOM Authority
EPC Contractor/Procurement: Bechtel (USA) / Siemens (Germany)
Supplier: Burkaf
NEOM is Saudi Arabia's planned future smart city, located along the Red Sea coast. It is one of the most ambitious flagship projects under Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" framework, aiming to create a cross-border urban region centered on technological innovation, sustainability, and future living.
Burkaf has successfully participated in the NEOM Phase 1 Utilities project, partnering with world-class EPC contractors Bechtel and Siemens, providing hot-dip galvanized cable trays and seismic supports for the electrical infrastructure of NEOM's core utilities.
Extreme Environmental Conditions: Located along the Red Sea coast, the NEOM project faces multiple environmental challenges including high temperatures, high humidity, and salt spray corrosion, demanding exceptional corrosion resistance and durability from cable tray systems.
Stringent Seismic Requirements: As core infrastructure for a smart city, the utility systems must meet strict seismic design standards to maintain electrical circuit integrity and functionality even during extreme events such as earthquakes.
World-Class EPC Contractor Standards: Both Bechtel and Siemens are benchmark companies in the global engineering sector, imposing extremely strict requirements on supplier technical capability, product quality, documentation management, and delivery systems.
High Reliability Demands of a Smart City: As a model for future cities, NEOM demands electrical infrastructure reliability, maintainability, and lifecycle performance that exceed conventional project standards.
Burkaf is supplying hot-dip galvanized cable trays and seismic support systems to meet the stringent environmental and seismic requirements of NEOM Phase 1 Utilities.
1. Hot-Dip Galvanized Cable Trays: Superior Corrosion Resistance
Hot-dip galvanized cable trays feature an immersion galvanizing process, with zinc layer thickness and adhesion far exceeding ordinary electro-galvanized products. They offer excellent resistance to salt spray corrosion, enabling long-term adaptation to the high-humidity, high-salinity environment of the Red Sea coast, ensuring full lifecycle reliability of the utility electrical system.
2. Seismic Supports: Ensuring System Integrity Under Extreme Conditions
Burkaf seismic support systems are designed and tested in strict accordance with international seismic standards (such as IBC, SES, etc.). They effectively absorb and dissipate dynamic loads during seismic events, maintaining the structural integrity of the cable tray system and ensuring uninterrupted critical power and communication circuits.
3. Meeting Technical Requirements of World-Class EPC Contractors
Burkaf products have passed rigorous technical reviews by both Bechtel and Siemens, with complete product performance test reports, calculation documents, and quality traceability documentation, demonstrating the capability to deliver in coordination with top-tier international EPC contractors.
4. Long-Term Reliability in Extreme Environments
From material selection to surface finishing, Burkaf products have been specifically optimized for NEOM's environmental characteristics, ensuring stable mechanical performance and electrical continuity under combined harsh conditions of high temperature, high humidity, and salt spray.
5. Delivery Capability Synchronized with Project Schedule
As an ongoing project, Burkaf has achieved multiple batches of on-time deliveries, continuously coordinating with Bechtel and Siemens construction schedules to ensure NEOM Phase 1 Utilities progress meets its milestones.
Burkaf hot-dip galvanized cable trays and seismic supports have been delivered to the NEOM project site according to schedule.
Products have successfully passed quality inspections and on-site acceptance by Bechtel and Siemens.
Burkaf has become one of the cable tray suppliers participating in this globally renowned smart city project.
Participation in the NEOM project demonstrates that Burkaf products meet the technical requirements of a world-class smart city project. The combined solution of hot-dip galvanized cable trays and seismic supports fully validates Burkaf's product capability in extreme environment and high seismic demand scenarios. Collaboration with world-class EPC contractors such as Bechtel and Siemens further enhances Burkaf's brand credibility in high-end international projects.
