Red Sea Global appoints AlFalah Ready Mix for the provision of low carbon concrete

Contract is one of two to cover the supply requirements of RSG's construction projects in the initial phases of the landmark project

Red Sea Global (Formaly known as TRSDC), the developer behind one of the world’s most ambitious tourism projects, has awarded a contract to AlFalah Ready Mix for the supply of structural low-carbon concrete manufactured utilizing recycled raw materials to meet existing and upcoming project demand while adhering to its environmental sustainability goals.

“RSG is leading the way in the use of green concrete for destination-scale development. This material, which has been developed with a low carbon footprint and manufactured utilizing recycled raw materials, will be key to achieving our ambitious sustainability targets,” said John Pagano, CEO, Red Sea Global.

“This is an exciting partnership for RSG, and we hope to see this standard of sustainable development become more widespread throughout the Kingdom.”

‘We take great pride in being associated with The Red Sea Destination, not only because of the size and scale of the development work but also because of RSG's strict sustainability and environment preservation targets,” said Zayed AlFalah, Chairman of Al Falah Ready Mix.

“We look forward to leveraging our experience and expertise, built over the past 20 years. We will be producing structural grade concrete that is designed to withstand up to 100 years of weather conditions in the region.”

Approximately 700,000 m3 of concrete will be required for the initial construction work at the destination, which includes accommodation for 10,000 workers, a management hotel, residential buildings, utilities and infrastructure.

The contract is the first of two contracts that RSG is planning to award for the production and supply of concrete for its landmark project.

Al Falah Ready Mix was chosen based on the company’s adoption of rigorous sustainability criteria for designing, producing, transporting and placing concrete. Their expertise in this field will play an integral role in meeting the challenging requirements for producing concrete with the lowest possible carbon footprint in a project the scale of The Red Sea’s.

RSG is developing Saudi Arabia’s flagship international tourism destination and is setting new standards in sustainable development. Its sustainability targets include a 100 percent reliance on renewable energy, a total ban on single-use plastics, and complete carbon neutrality in the destination’s operations.
