The trains will run automatically (without a driver), and involve the world’s cutting edge technology in the specification of metro cars. The cars can be separated internally to accommodate family service class, and they support communication and information exchange services.

KRB has installed two batching plants in the location in addition to ice plants.

Currently, KRB is providing different types of high strength concrete to meet the requirement of the project’s construction phases.
