NRTC Group
At an NRTC Group industrial facility in Al Khumrah, Jeddah, AZEIDK's scope covered fire alarm and firefighting systems and Civil Defense requirements through handover.
About the project
This project covered an NRTC Group facility in Al Khumrah, Jeddah, one of the industrial projects in AZEIDK’s portfolio. Industrial facilities typically combine large open floors, operating or handling equipment, electrical plant and stored materials, and each of these shapes the fire strategy.
Why fire and life safety matter in industrial facilities
Several hazards often share one industrial building: switchgear and electrical rooms, handling equipment, fuel for vehicles and generators, and goods in combustible packaging. In a large, lightly staffed space, a fire can grow before anyone sees it, and smoke quickly hides long routes to the exits. Detection across the whole floor, firefighting systems sized for the real hazard and signed escape routes give staff time to leave. Because the installation must be approved by Civil Defense, building to approved drawings and documenting tests matter as much as the equipment itself. The Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) provides the framework.
