Riyadh Daily reports that Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries, a major Saudi industrial city under the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, is using the OpenSpace platform to document construction progress through 360 degree cameras. The platform links site images to their actual locations on the BIM model, enabling teams to compare what has been built against approved designs and verify that work is proceeding on plan. The coverage positions OpenSpace as a core part of Saudi Arabia’s push to bring AI and digital engineering tools into the management of major infrastructure projects.
Riyadh Daily is one of Saudi Arabia’s most established English language newspapers, published by the Al-Yamamah Press Establishment from the capital. Coverage here puts OpenSpace in front of an audience of government officials, project managers, and engineering professionals who are actively shaping how major industrial and infrastructure projects in the Kingdom are delivered. The context matters: Jazan City is an ambitious industrial development under the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, the body responsible for some of the largest construction programs in Saudi Arabia. Being named as the platform of choice for construction documentation at that scale, alongside BIM and data analysis powered by AI, places OpenSpace at the center of infrastructure delivery in line with Vision 2030.
The article describes exactly how OpenSpace is being used at Jazan City: 360 degree cameras document construction progress on site, images are linked to their actual geographic locations, and the visual record is compared against the BIM model to verify that work matches approved designs. This is a precise description of what OpenSpace does, and it is significant that a project of this profile is relying on it as a core oversight tool. As Saudi Arabia accelerates major construction programs under Vision 2030, the need for reliable visual construction documentation is only going to grow. OpenSpace is already deployed on projects around the world that are building at this scale. Learn more at openspace.ai.
