NEOM 2026: Laying the Digital Foundations – Smart Monitoring from the Ground Up

As the core of Saudi Arabia's "2030 Vision", the NEOM New City, which costs over trillions of dollars, is accelerating its transformation from a grand concept to a realistic foundation project by 2026. The iconic linear city 'THE LINE' has entered the stage of large-scale construction. The uniqueness of this stage lies in the fact that the "intelligence" of smart cities is not added after construction, but is embedded from the first pile foundation. The project is deploying a large number of sensors for geotechnical engineering and durability monitoring, and these "monitoring piles" will continue to work throughout the entire lifecycle of the building. This means that security and monitoring technologies, from high-altitude satellites to underground sensors, must serve the composite goals of engineering safety, schedule management, and future urban data twins.
