Smart Skill executed specialized Qiddiya shear stud installation works across designated structural zones within the Qiddiya development in Riyadh, one of Saudi Arabia’s major entertainment, sports, and cultural projects.
The scope included the installation, welding, inspection, testing, and handover of approximately 20,000 to 27,500 shear studs across an estimated structural area of 9,000 to 12,500 square meters. The shear connectors were installed directly onto structural steel beams and through profiled metal decking, depending on the approved project details.
The works were completed by specialized stud welding teams in coordination with the structural steel, metal decking, reinforcement, quality, and concrete teams, supporting reliable composite action between the steel beams and reinforced concrete floor slabs.
