The Qiddiya Project is a massive entertainment, sports, and cultural megaproject in Saudi Arabia. It is a key part of Saudi Vision 2030, aimed at diversifying the country’s economy by expanding the tourism and entertainment sectors. The project includes the first Dragonball Z theme park with the world’s fastest and tallest roller coaster, a Formula 1 track, museums, performing arts centers, professional sports venues, and commercial and residential areas.

Monitoring Approach and System Deployment
Engineering Legacy
For 18 months, Measure, as Dustin Engineers International, operated a remote desert camp as the only on-site contractors at Qiddiya where we built systems for Bullivant Arabia Limited, under Parsons Engineering Science and ACES geotechnical engineering services. We designed, procured, installed, and operated instrumentation systems to provide the basic information that Qiddiya’s designers needed. Our systems provided real-time data on pile strength and stability, rock mass stability, settlement, seismic loading, precipitation, wind loading, and lightning intensity distributed across the 141 square-mile site.
For this project, Shaun Dustin designed a first-of-its-kind system for Bullivant to measure incremental axial loading on pullout strength of drilled/grouted-in-place micropiles using vibrating-wire strain gages We also designed self-contained tilt and vibrating-wire monitoring skids that could be relocated to any point on the site with minimal equipment and no setup other than pad preparation.
The monitoring network utilized the Saudi Telecom intranet to aggregate the data and make it available on GeoComp’s iSite Central platform.
