삼성물산 참여 리야드 메트로 5호선 그린라인 터널 굴착 완료 Riyadh Metro, HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar Extracts Dhafrah TBM

   리야드 메트로의 파이잘 빈 반다르 왕자가 5월 4일 터널 공사가 완료됨에 따라 그린라인에 투입된 알다프라 TBM 철수식에 참석했다.

리야드 주지사이기도 한 파이잘 왕자는 작년 4월 30일 FAST 컨소시엄의 TBM을 투입시켜 1년만에 예정 공기대로 터널공사를 완료시켰다.

승리를 의미하는 '알다프라'로 명명된 TBM은 7대 장비 중 가장 먼저 투입되었으며 12.9km의 6호선 터널굴착에도 사용되었다.

리야드 메트로 그린라인 5호선은 7개의 역사와 블루라인과 레드라인이 연결되는 2개의 환승역사로 구성되어 있다.

시공을 맡은 FAST컨소시엄은 주간사인 스페인의 FCC와 한국의 삼성물산, 프랑스 알스톰, 네덜란드의 Strukton 그리고 프레시네사우디, Typsa and Setec사 등으로 구성되어 있다.

총 6개구간의 리야드 메트로는 2018년에 모든 공사가 완료되며 총176km 구간에 85개의 역사 그리고 1,150km 버스노선과 연계되어 있다.

2013년 후반기에 착수되었지만 다른 국가에서 시행되는 유사 프로젝트보다 빠른 2018년 완공을 목표로 하고 있다.

삼성물산은 2013년 7월,  3개 노선 72.3km구간의 총 22억불에 달하는 토목공사를 수주한 바 있다.

Riyadh Metro, HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar Extracts Dhafrah TBM

06/05/2016

Riyadh Metro, HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar Extracts Dhafrah TBM :On 4 May 2016 Riyadh Governor HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar and members of the Supreme Committee for the Supervision of the King Abdulaziz Project for Public Transport met at a site on Riyadh Metro Line 5, the Green Line, to attend the ceremony for the extraction of the Dhafrah Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM).

At the ceremony Prince Faisal pushed the button to extract the TBM out of the ground at a site where digging has been completed “before the scheduled time.”

Prince Faisal had started the very same FAST consortium TBM on 30 April 2015, only one year earlier. Dhafrah, meaning “Victory”, has been used on the Green Line and was the first of seven TBMs put into service to construct the six line Riyadh Metro system, to bore the 12.9 km tunnel between Riyadh Airbase and King Abdul Aziz Historical Centre.

The Green Line features eleven stations and two endpoint transfer stations with the Blue and Red lines. The FAST consortium, led by Spanish construction group FCC and including Samsung C&T, Alstom, Strukton, Freyssinet Saudi Arabia, Typsa and Setec, is also responsible for the Yellow and Purple lines.

When the entire metro system is complete in 2018 it will cover 176 km and have 85 stations, supported by a bus network of 1,150 km.

Prince Faisal told local press that “the project is going very well” and according to plan, after riding a golf cart into a smoothly bored and reinforced tunnel from what will be Malaz station on Line 3, the Orange Line, being built by the ArRiyadh New Mobility (ANM) consortium.

The governor said that what he saw underground was “assuring” and that one third of the metro is now complete. About 40% of the system will be underground. Work on the above-ground elevated sections is noticeable throughout the city, particularly on the approach to King Khaled International Airport.

Construction on the Riyadh Metro began in late 2013 and is targeted for completion by the end of 2018, more rapidly than similar projects in other countries.

At the end of April 2016 Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman released the wide-ranging Vision 2030 plan to diversify the Saudi economy away from oil. It calls for “high quality” public transport to help improve urban life.
