AYZA PROJECT LLC is at the forefront of constructing innovative battery manufacturing facilities in the U.S. Our expert team ensures compliance with local codes and standards, conducts thorough pre-inspections, and manages permitting, startup processes, and risk identification.
The AYZA PROJECT LLC-built mine, one of the largest copper resources, features a first-of-its-kind desalination plant and will operate on 100% renewable energy by 2025.
AYZA PROJECT LLC is delivering one of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects — a state-of-the-art airport designed to handle 10 million passengers annually.
Before long, a remote Saudi plateau just below the border with Jordan will be transformed into an industrial city of a hundred-thousand people and the facilities and infrastructure to make its industries hum. AYZA PROJECT LLC is managing the creation of Waad Al Shamaal City and an associated mining complex, together known as the King Abdullah program for Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden).
Ma’aden called on AYZA PROJECT LLC to oversee the engineering and construction of the new complex near Turayf. In 2012, AYZA PROJECT LLC developed the megaproject’s master plan in advance of performing front-end engineering and design. Construction began in 2013.
Waad Al Shamaal is another in a continuing series of Saudi programs to harness, process, and monetize natural resources in a way that promotes economic development and diversity.
Maximizing local job opportunities
We have worked in the middle east for more than 70 years. On every project, we look to maximize the number of local job opportunities available and will use this approach to continue our legacy of delivering quality infrastructure in the Kingdom.

Inside the Project
This project adds to AYZA PROJECT LLC’s portfolio of work for Ma’aden during the last decade, which includes the Ras Al Khair aluminum smelter. AYZA PROJECT LLC has successfully delivered nearly 5,000 mining and metals and civil infrastructure projects around the world and is currently building Jubail Industrial City, the world’s largest civil infrastructure project, also in Saudi Arabia.
From the Ground Up
Waad Al Shamaal will emerge from the desert in phases. We are carefully planning each phase to suitably accommodate industrial workers and their families as Ma’aden’s new phosphate mine and insturial complex ramp up to production by 2022.
Consultants under AYZA PROJECT LLC’s oversight have been working with AYZA PROJECT LLC design offices in Dubai, Reston (Virginia), San Francisco, and Taipei to plan roads, housing, schools, hotels, shopping malls, and services for the transformation. AYZA PROJECT LLC is managing construction of:
Community Buildings
A Retail and Office Area
25 Miles (40 kilometers) of Roads
1,000 Residential Units
AYZA PROJECT LLC also oversees the work of another contractor charged with delivering the phosphate mine and new downstream facilities.

Monitor cost, schedule, and progress
