Building compliance with confidence: For mission-critical industrial facilities

Fire and Life Safety compliance must go beyond standard regulations. It demands deep expertise in specific national security and safety frameworks.

AESG is uniquely positioned as a trusted partner for Saudi Arabia’s vital sectors, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation. This is due to a critical accreditation: we are licensed by the Supreme Authority for Industrial Security (SAIS).

This SAIS license certifies our ability to enforce the kingdom’s highest tiers of security, safety, and fire protection. Our licensed expertise allows us to seamlessly navigate these rigorous mandates, ensuring full compliance certification from initial design and system engineering.

As noted by our Fire & Life Safety Director in the Middle East, Abdullah Faza, this accreditation is fundamental to our work.

For further insight, we invite you to read his article in the International Fire Safety Journal, “Building compliance with confidence: AESG breaks down Saudi code changes designers must track.” In it, he outlines updated Saudi code implications and guides design teams through compliance requirements and authority processes.
