The Contractor cannot start work on the portion of Kaust Perimeter Security System on the east side of Kaust, starting from the Kaust Bridge near Gate 1 running towards Gate 2. The cold work permit requested by the contractor to start work was denied on a basis which requires departmental coordination with utility companies like STC, Mobiliy, SEC and ITC. 
The above contradicts with the minutes of meeting signed by SAPMT, FPD, and KAUST on July 31, 2011, where it is clearly agreed that relocation of all utilities shall be coordinated by KAUST. According to the agreement the coordination or the relocation of utilities from the project site should have been done a long time ago. Various reminders were sent to KAUST to avoid the current situation.
Based on the above the work will not commence till the above problem is resolved by KAUST.
