Al Salam Mall
Al Salam Mall is a Cenomi Centers shopping mall where AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
At the junction of Prince Majid Road and King Abdullah Road in Al Fayhaa, Jeddah, Al Salam Mall is owned and managed by Arabian Centres, now Cenomi Centers. Its 2013 ICSC MENA awards entry listed about 110,044 m² of total retail space and 297 stores, and it was recognised that year in the Renovations/Expansions category after a re-leasing programme that brought in anchors such as Zara, Marks & Spencer and Home Centre.
Why fire and life safety matter in a large mall
A mall of this size puts many shops side by side, each with its own stock and fit-out, along corridors that fill at peak times. Anchor stores bring large stockrooms of clothing, furniture and homeware, which burn fast and produce heavy smoke. Re-leasing and tenant turnover keep changing layouts, and every altered space must stay covered by alarm and fire fighting systems. Most shoppers do not know the exit routes, so they need clear warning and enough time to leave before smoke gathers.
AZEIDK’s role
AZEIDK’s scope at Al Salam Mall was supplying and installing fire protection, alarm and security systems, then testing and commissioning them to the project requirements.
