The Masheed Trading & Transport Co - 9 x 500T Cement Silos project showcases RICO's expertise in refurbishment, civil works, and electromechanical commissioning. This project involved three distinct phases:

1. Refurbishment of Silos


The silos were disassembled, and full refurbishment was carried out, including:

  • Sandblasting and repainting the silo bodies with UV-protective coatings for durability and aesthetics.
  • Repair and refurbishment of damaged components such as screw conveyors and filters.
  • Cleaning and preparation of internal and external components to ensure full functionality​​.

2. Installation at NEOM


The project entailed:

  • Transporting silos from Makkah to NEOM in a safe and timely manner using low-bed trucks.
  • Execution of civil works, including excavation, reinforced concrete foundations, and backfilling, ensuring the structural integrity of the silos​​.
  • Erection of the silos on-site with secure anchoring and alignment​​.

3. Commissioning


The silos were made fully operational, including:

  • Installation of all electromechanical components such as control panels, level indicators, aeration pads, solenoid valves, compressors, and air dryers.
  • Ensuring seamless integration of all systems for full operational capacity​​.
