About the project
Tahlia Square is a commercial building in the Al Rehab district of Jeddah. Commercial buildings of this kind usually combine several units, such as shops, offices or showrooms, with shared corridors and lobbies, and their occupants and visitors change throughout the day. That mix means the safety systems must serve regular occupants and first-time visitors alike.
Why fire and life safety matter in commercial buildings
In a multi-tenant building, the risk changes from unit to unit: one tenant may run a shop with packaged stock, another an office full of electronics, another a food outlet. Fit-outs change over time, and smoke from a fire in one unit can spread into the corridors and stairs everyone shares. A single building-wide detection and alarm system warns every occupant at the same moment, while sprinklers and hose cabinets limit fire growth until Civil Defense arrives. Security systems help building management monitor entrances and common areas. The Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) and Civil Defense requirements define how commercial buildings are protected.
AZEIDK’s role
In the building, AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems in line with the project’s requirements.
