Jadwaa’s Contribution to One of Saudi Arabia’s Most Ambitious Transport Projects
Riyadh is undergoing a transformation, and at the heart of its growth is the Riyadh Metro, a megaproject reshaping how residents and visitors move across the capital. As part of this visionary initiative, Jadwaa was selected to deliver key electrical infrastructure that ensures reliability, safety, and sustainability across the metro system.
Our work helped power critical elements of this complex transit network, supporting the city’s shift toward smarter, greener mobility in alignment with Vision 2030.
Project Overview: Electrical Backbone of a Transit Giant
With millions expected to use the metro daily, every component, from lighting to power distribution, must function flawlessly. Jadwaa’s scope was to install, integrate, and optimise electrical infrastructure that could handle the demands of a fast-paced, high-capacity transportation system.
This included everything from medium voltage systems to lightning protection, laying the foundation for smooth daily operations and long-term performance.
Scope of Work
Delivered Systems & Components
- Lighting Infrastructure – ensuring consistent illumination across stations and transit paths.
- Lightning Protection Systems – safeguarding electrical equipment and passengers against power surges.
- Medium Voltage Installations – distributing stable, high-capacity power to multiple metro subsystems.
- RMC Conduits – structured pathways for protected cable routing and system scalability.
- Electrical Panels – powering and controlling various operational zones of the metro infrastructure.
Impact Delivered: Operational Reliability at Scale
Energy-Efficient Lighting
Our lighting solutions improve visibility while optimising power usage, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
Infrastructure Resilience
Lightning protection and medium voltage stability ensure minimal disruptions and longer asset lifespan.
Streamlined Maintenance & Expansion
RMC and structured electrical designs make future upgrades easier, with simplified maintenance protocols in place.
Passenger Safety & Comfort
A reliable power network keeps everything running, from escalators and ticketing machines to station lighting and ventilation, directly contributing to passenger experience.
Building the Foundation for a Connected Kingdom
The Riyadh Metro isn’t just a transportation project, it’s a symbol of progress. Jadwaa’s contribution to its electrical infrastructure means we’ve played a part in one of the Middle East’s most forward-thinking urban developments.
By delivering secure, stable, and efficient power systems, we’ve supported Riyadh’s vision for a smarter, more mobile city, where infrastructure supports both people and innovation.
