(MENAFN) Harsco Corporation said that it received a new USD15 million order from Saudi Arabia for railway track maintenance and related equipment which deliveries would be completed by the end of this year, reported Arab News.
The infrastructure group added that the order would support the Kingdom’s new North South Railway USD2 billion system project to establish a 2,300 km rail line, adding that the railway would connect Saudi Arabia’s rich phosphate and bauxite reserves in the north with its processing facilities in Jubail, at the same time it would provide a new rail path for freight and passenger traffic.
