NEOM Bay Airport — Geotechnical & Geophysical Investigation

Integrated geotechnical and geophysical investigation for the NEOM Bay Airport megaproject

Status

Approved

Client

NEOM Company

Location

NEOM Bay, Saudi Arabia

ATLAS GES was engaged to perform an integrated geotechnical and geophysical investigation campaign for the NEOM Bay Airport, one of the Kingdom's most ambitious aviation infrastructure developments.

The investigation covered the full extent of the airport development footprint, combining advanced borehole drilling, in-situ testing, and state-of-the-art geophysical surveys to produce a comprehensive ground model of the site.

Our multidisciplinary approach delivered a unified subsurface dataset that enabled optimized design of runway pavements, terminal foundations, and supporting infrastructure across the complex and varied geological conditions of the NEOM Bay area.
