Overview

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior is building a network of security compounds. They will be used to house, educate and train members of Saudi Arabia’s public security, civil defence service, fire service, police force, passports division and special security and investigative forces.

The majority of the security premises will be built in and around Riyadh, but facilities will also be built in the provinces of Qassim, Hail, Tabuk, Jeddah, Medina, Taif, Al-Jouf and on Saudi Arabia’s Northern borders.

The compounds will include schools, mosques, theatres, civilian dormitories, military barracks, administration buildings, training facilities and buildings for recreation and entertainment.

The contract covers the construction, operation and maintenance of 28 different types of facilities to be built at 41 locations throughout the country. As of October 2012, work was about 7 per cent complete.

The profile covers the phase 1 of the project.
