💧𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 – Driving Vision 2030 Through Innovation, Sustainability, and Partnership On April 5, 1976, ILF produced its first engineering drawing for the Jubail–Riyadh Water Transmission System — the first closed water transmission system in the world. Stretching 450 km from the Arabian Gulf in Jubail to the heart of Riyadh, this groundbreaking project set global benchmarks for scale and technical achievement. This was a fully pressurized, long-distance pipeline capable of delivering desalinated water over 450 km without exposure to air. This innovation marked a global engineering milestone and showcased ILF’s pioneering capabilities in large-scale water infrastructure. By 1983, under ILF’s role as Owner’s Engineer, the system was commissioned in a ceremony under the patronage of King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (PBUH) — marking a defining moment in Saudi Arabia’s water infrastructure journey. 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 Since that first milestone, ILF has contributed to the design, engineering, and supervision of 11 major transmission pipelines, delivering 4 million cubic meters of desalinated water per day from Jubail and Ras Al Khair to Riyadh — a feat achieved through collaboration across ILF Consulting Engineers in Saudi Arabia, ILF Consulting Engineers in Austria, and ILF Consulting Engineers in Germany. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗱𝗵: Eastern Cluster: Consulting on 13 ongoing NWC projects to enhance water quality in Dammam, Khobar, Jubail, and Al-Hasa.
