Once complete, the park will be the first in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the largest in the region
Kier International has been awarded a US $18.3m contract for Qiddiya Water Theme Park, a major project coming up near Riyadh.
The firm said the contract will see it provide engineering, design, electrical and communications, as well as electromechanical works for the project.
Qiddiya Water Theme Park is billed as the Kingdom’s first and the region’s largest water theme park. Home to 23 rides and attractions – seven of which will be world firsts – the park’s theme and offerings have been designed keeping in mind Saudi Arabia’s rich culture and heritage.
It will be the only water theme park in the world that offers a unique mix of dry and wet rides, as well as state-of-the-art competition level facilities for those with a penchant for water sports, the firm explained.
