The World’s Largest Project equivalent to 32 Burj Khalif, 40% of the world’s steel production for years, 170 km long by 200 meters wide by 500 meters tall. The Eiffel Tower = 310 meters, The Empire State building = 440 meters – each module (over 50 planned) of 200m by 800m will have 16 cores each of 500m high at sea level. The height will vary to maintain a constant line due to topography. Topography from sea level to 300m. A 3km by 6km ‘Hidden Marina’ for the world’s largest cruise ships. 60,000 person stadium that will be suspended inside a module, looking as if it’s floating in air. Car-free with all required services within a 5 minute walk; a 20 minute train ride to cover 100km. Autonomous service for trash, deliveries, vertical gardens; a fully linear zero carbon city housing 9 million people on 54 square km of land. Will this be built? How will it be built? A look at the challenges from the inside.

Bradley Banker, MS, CSP, PMP
Currently working in the start-up phase of THE LINE, the World’s Largest Infrastructure project and his 6th year of working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Previous KSA work included King Abdullah Port (to be the 5th largest seaport), operational readiness and transfer of Jeddah International Airport (the gateway to Mecca), and Saudi Arabia Customs. Other projects ranged from military (transportation, construction, weapons repair, logistics), oil & gas (platforms, underwater pipelines, tank farms), infrastructure (viaduct trains, underground subways, roads, IKEA) and resorts (Atlantis Bahamas) – with duties from PM, CM and currently HSW (Health, Safety and Wellbeing) and career spanning over 20 years. It has been a wild ride geographically, physically and mentally from USA, Nigeria, Iraq, Afghanistan, KSA, China, Hong Kong and SE Asia. Passion in project management is only surpassed by teaching chemistry and physics. Hobbies are bicycle riding in Bangkok traffic, diving with sharks, an audiophile and growing old gracefully.
