The Shift to Composite Materials (BMC): Why Major KSA Projects are Replacing Traditional Cast Iron?

Saudi Arabia is witnessing an unprecedented boom in infrastructure under Vision 2030. Given the harsh climatic conditions, BMC has emerged as a strategic alternative to cast iron. This material offers absolute resistance to rust and chemical corrosion, particularly in coastal regions with high salinity and humidity. Furthermore, Green Gulf covers made from BMC are up to 50% lighter than iron, reducing workplace injuries and simplifying installation and maintenance without the need for heavy machinery, all while maintaining superior load-bearing capacity for heavy traffic.
