About the project
On Prince Sultan Road in Jeddah, Sultan Square is a commercial complex where development works began in September 2023, and fire protection and life safety systems were part of the work needed to make it ready for operation.
Why fire and life safety matter in a commercial complex
Commercial complexes usually bring different tenants under one roof, such as shops, food outlets and service businesses, each with its own fit-out, equipment and opening hours. That mix creates varied fire risks: stock and packaging in shops, cooking equipment where food is served, and electrical loads that run late into the evening. Visitors move between units and walkways without knowing the building, so they rely on clear alarms, emergency lighting and signed exits. Fire-fighting systems must cover units and common areas together, and the whole installation has to be tested and commissioned before occupation so every part responds as designed. Civil Defense requirements and the Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) set out what such a complex must provide.
AZEIDK’s role
AZEIDK handled the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of fire protection and life safety systems at Sultan Square, according to the project’s requirements.
