A Documentary Spotlights HEI's Multinational Building Journey at Saudi Arabia's Nairyah 2 Project

DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Against the sweltering Saudi desert where temperatures soar up to 50°C, Harbin Electric International (HEI) is delivering the landmark Nairyah 2 combined‑cycle power plant, an important project for the significant initiative of Saudi Vision 2030. A newly‑released documentary tells the inspiring human stories behind this 1890‑megawatt energy mega‑project, capturing how cross‑border collaborators turn harsh wilderness into a source of clean electricity for local communities.

Built on a remote desert wasteland with limited mobile connectivity at early construction stages, the project faces stacked obstacles: extreme heat, frequent sandstorms, tight construction timelines and complex technical requirements for high‑end Siemens H‑class power equipment. What makes Nairyah 2 truly distinctive is its multinational workforce, drawing engineers and workers from more than 13 countries across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Language gaps and cultural differences once stood as major barriers, yet HEI's project team has bridged these divides through open communication, shared goals and genuine mutual respect.

On‑site meetings gather experts of diverse backgrounds to brainstorm technical solutions. Beyond work, casual football matches, group activities and shared project branding build genuine bonds. Colleagues from Spain, South Korea, Pakistan and Saudi regard the project site as more than a workplace: they have built a big, multicultural family far away from home.

This high‑end facility adopts an energy cycle technology to cut fuel consumption and carbon emissions, setting benchmark performance for global power generation. More than a power plant, HEI fosters inclusive project culture, empowering young professionals from around the world to work together seamlessly.

One power station provides reliable power for decades ahead; one united team links hearts across borders. Through sweat, understanding and joint dedication, HEI's diverse builders are bringing light to the Saudi land, writing a vivid chapter of international energy cooperation.
