Nojoud Center
Nojoud Center is a shopping centre on Tahlia Street in Jeddah where AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
Nojoud Center is a shopping centre on Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street, better known as Tahlia Street, in Jeddah’s Al Andalus neighbourhood. Its tenants include a Nike store. As in most shopping centres, shops with different trades and goods share one building and common walkways.
Why fire and life safety matter in a shopping centre
A shopping centre is made up of units let to different tenants, each with its own fit-out, goods and hours, while management controls the common areas. Smoke from a fire in one shop can spread into walkways everyone uses, and most shoppers do not know where the rear exits are. The engineering answer is a central fire alarm system that receives signals from every unit and pinpoints the incident, with firefighting coverage of shops and corridors alike. Tenants change and fit-outs alter layouts, so systems must be extendable and re-tested after each change. Security systems at entrances and walkways help staff locate incidents and manage visitor movement.
AZEIDK’s role
At Nojoud Center, AZEIDK took on the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of fire protection, alarm and security systems, according to the project requirements.
