Al Waha Mall
Al Waha Mall, a shopping mall where AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
Al Waha Mall is one of the shopping-mall projects in AZEIDK’s retail portfolio. A mall of this type brings many tenants together under one roof, each with its own fit-out, opening hours and activities, yet all of them rely on shared fire protection, alarm and security systems to keep visitors and staff safe.
Why fire and life safety matter in a shopping mall
Shopping malls hold large numbers of people spread across shops, corridors and common areas, many of them families with children. Retail stock, packaging and fit-out materials create a significant fuel load, and any food outlets add cooking risks. Smoke moving through open malls and connected levels can reach areas far from the fire, so detection has to be early and the alarm has to reach every tenant at the same time. Fire-fighting systems need to cover individual shops and common areas together, and escape routes must stay clear even at peak times. Security and surveillance systems help mall management monitor crowds and protect property after hours. Civil Defense requirements and the Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) form the basis for designing and maintaining these systems.
AZEIDK’s role
At Al Waha Mall, AZEIDK carried out the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of fire protection, alarm and security systems according to the project’s requirements.
