Neom has selected Italian contractor WeBuild for an estimated SR20bn ($5bn) contract to build the dams that will create the artificial lake at the heart of the Trojena mountain resort that is due to host the Asian Winter Games in 2029.
The main dam will have a height of 145 metres and will be 475 metres long at its crest. It will be built using 2.7 million cubic metres of roller compact concrete (RCC).
Some 650,000 cubic metres of RCC will be used to build a dam within the planned lake to create an island below the water level. This kidney-shaped dam will have a height of 38 metres and will be 700 metres long. It will be connected to the nearby Lake Village by an underwater tunnel. The landscaping and other attractions within the dam are known as the Enchanted Forest.
