Saudi Metro and Building Ventilation Upgrades: LTCVENTILATION Centrifugal Double-Volute Direct-Drive Fans Enter the Market
Saudi Arabia is accelerating its rail expansion and building energy-efficiency retrofits.The Riyadh Metro Red Line extension has been awarded,valued at USD 2.75 billion,adding 8.4 km of track and 5 new stations over an
estimated six-year construction period.Meanwhile,the Saudi government has set a target to cut energy
consumption by 30%,and SASO enforces mandatory efficiency standards for centrifugal fans rated≥0.75 kW. Demand for ventilation system upgrades in existing buildings continues to grow.
ltcventilation introduces its centrifugal double-inlet direct-drive fan, purpose-built for metro, bus, and building ventilation applications in Saudi Arabia.
Proven High Standards for Demanding Environments
· Marine-Grade Capability: Manufactured to marine-level reliability standards, suitable for high-humidity, high-salt-spray, and harsh operating conditions.
· Corrosion Resistant: Designed for Saudi coastal and industrial environments, with corrosion-treated key components to extend service life and reduce replacement frequency.
· High Efficiency & Energy Saving: EC motor adjusts speed on demand, achieving over 17.2% energy
savings compared to conventional centrifugal fans in tested conditions—ideal for metro stations running continuously year-round.
· Excellent Efficiency Curve: Flat and stable performance curve with a wide operating range, maintaining high efficiency even at partial load, meeting SASO ISO 12759:2017 efficiency limits.
· Quiet Direct-Drive Design: Direct-drive structure eliminates belt transmission, reducing vibration and wear noise; double-inlet design optimizes airflow path for a quieter station and building environment.
· Smart Control: EC fan supports 0-10V or RS-485 communication, compatible with building automation systems for centralized multi-fan management.
Saudi Market Access Note
Before exporting to Saudi Arabia, products must pass testing at a SASO-recognized laboratory, comply with
SASO ISO 12759:2017 efficiency standards, and be registered in the SALEEM system with an energy efficiency label affixed before customs clearance. Early confirmation with Saudi importers or SASO-authorized agencies is recommended.
As Saudi metro network expansion and building energy-efficiency retrofits continue, demand for high-efficiency, corrosion-resistant, marine-grade ventilation equipment is creating a clear market opportunity.
