GeoSoft secures major 1100km water infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia, combining 620km pipeline corridor mapping with 460km geotechnical study, marking strategic expansion into infrastructure sector.
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – GeoSoft announces a landmark 1100-kilometer water infrastructure project award, comprising 620km of pipeline corridor mapping and 460km of geotechnical investigation for the prestigious client in Saudi Arabia. This achievement validates three decades of geospatial expertise developed in the oil and gas sector and strategically expands GeoSoft’s service portfolio into water infrastructure and building sectors.
The comprehensive project spans across various regions and cities in Saudi Arabia and includes high-accuracy topographic survey, underground utility mapping services, geotechnical site investigation, and integrated digital delivery for one of Saudi Arabia’s largest utility network operators.
“This project marks a significant milestone in our strategic expansion from oil and gas to broader infrastructure and building sectors,” said Mohanad Hamour Mohamad, Business Development Director – GeoSoft Saudi Arabia. “Our 30 years of laser scanning survey expertise in industrial plants now delivers the same precision to critical water infrastructure, supporting Saudi Vision 2030’s development goals.”
