Jazan Industrial City Uses AI to Improve Project Management
Jazan City for Basic and Transformative Industries is using AI and digital tools to manage projects in southern Saudi Arabia.
The effort is part of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu’s work to develop industrial cities.
Digital tools compare construction work with approved plans and help teams spot differences and engineering issues.
The city is also using building information modelling, which brings engineering disciplines together in a 3D model.
The model can reveal design clashes before construction advances, helping teams address them earlier and reduce late changes, time and costs.
OpenSpace records construction sites with 360-degree cameras, linking images to their locations and to the models so teams can check progress and changes.
The digital system is intended to speed up access to information and support engineering oversight and decisions.
Jazan Industrial City in southern Saudi Arabia is using artificial intelligence and smart engineering solutions to improve project management and track implementation.
Digital tools analyze construction data, review engineering plans and identify differences between completed work and approved designs.
The solutions integrate with building information modelling (BIM), which brings engineering disciplines together in a 3D model and helps identify potential conflicts early.
The city also uses the OpenSpace platform and 360-degree cameras to document construction progress and compare site images with BIM models.
The effort is part of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu’s work to improve industrial cities and strengthen planning, implementation and engineering oversight.
