New York-listed construction consultant Hill International has been awarded a contract to provide project management consulting services for Riyadh-headquartered Saudi Telecom Company’s (STC) redesigned master plan for their current King Abdul-Aziz Telecommunication Complex.
The project involves developing infrastructure including roads, underground services networks, cables, landscape and hardscape, new buildings, and the renovation and facelift of existing buildings as per the approved master plan design.
The project consists of a headquarters building, an administration building, a multistory car park, multipurpose buildings, and recreation facilities comprising food and beverage outlets, health club and spa facilities, meeting facilities, retail, and a mosque.
Hill will manage the design, supervision, and construction process to help ensure that STC and end-user requirements are implemented and achieved.
