With cable lengths of 100 kilometers, work is underway to complete connecting the last station (M11) and to activate 4 circuits with a distance of 27 kilometers and to extend cables of 60 kilometers length before the start of the Riyadh Metro operations. The total value of the project is approximately SAR 137 million.

The Riyadh Metro Project is only one of several projects that KEIR International has completed or is completing for SEC as KEIR International has successfully participated in the implementation of the Unified Contract Project for power distribution networks since 2014 until now.
