A group of resorts under development around a lagoon in the Red Sea needed improved transport connectivity. An environmental assessment was required for the proposed dredged navigation.
Aquageo partnered with Saudi Arabia’s foremost university, KAUST, to deliver environmental impact assessment for the development. The assessment focused on the sensitive marine environment, to meet the requirements of the World Bank/International Finance Corporation Performance Standards.
The centrepiece development for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 program involves a linear city and associated infrastructure in the northwest of the country.
A flagship oceanarium development is proposed on the Red Sea coast. The facility will require a high throughput of seawater, and a subsurface well intake at the shore has been identified as the lowest environmental impact option.
Critically endangered flower species were identified in a groundwater dependent habitat, near a major development area of northern Saudi Arabia. Protection measures had to be identified to prevent loss of any of the critical habitat.
