Bechtel Corporation: Jubail Industrial City: "Jubail Industrial City is the largest civil engineering project in the world today. It also is one of Bechtel’s most remarkable achievements—a city built from the ground up, requiring vast resources and logistical planning on an unprecedented scale.
Bechtel has managed the Jubail project, located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, since it began in the mid-1970s. In 2004, the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu asked the company to manage Jubail II, a $3.8 billion expansion of the city’s industrial and residential areas.
With a population of more than 100,000, Jubail today accounts for more than 7 percent of the kingdom’s gross domestic product. The city has evolved into a major player in the global petrochemicals market, attracting top technical and business minds from 40 countries. Its residents attend two dozen schools, shop at 14 shopping centers, and play golf at the Whispering Sands course."
