The King Abdulla Project for Waad AlShamaal City Development is a new industrial city to be located in the Northern Borders Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The master plan for the city has been completed by Bechtel under contract to Ma'aden the Kingdoms' mining and minerals development agency. The anchor for the new city's economy will be major new phosphate processing facilities to be built and operated by Ma'aden utilizing the extensive phosphate deposits located nearby.
In addition to phosphate projects the master plan has identified the potential for many other industrial projects using minerals known to exist in the northern part of the Kingdom. These would include minerals such as potash limestone soda ash brine salts and downstream industries such as glass paint detergents cement and fertilizers.
