The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was once considered a central point for oil trade and dealings. And for quite a time, the KSA was considered a country that dealt only with oil and nothing else. Over time, the country has shown what a tremendous mindset it has especially towards technology, development, progress, and modernism. But of all the before-mentioned things on the cards, modernism is what is in the news considering Saudi Arabia. The country is drastically shifting towards tourism and development in this regard and is not letting any stone go unturned on its way to modernising its outlook.
However, when it comes to modernising, it brings jobs, applications, systems, professionals, and personnel that can perform different tasks. Now consider you can easily have a single professional for different tasks and do not need to spend loads of bucks for different professionals for different roles. This gives you great benefits such as cost-saving, easiness, and functionality. MEP is one such service that is being performed by a single professional or by a team of MEP professionals that perform all the tasks singlehandedly. So this shows that the fuss around MPE and Saudi Arabia is real for sure.
Development Trends in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has long been a center of worship for Muslims due to their two holiest places, Makkah and Medina. However, there was more to come but people weren’t ready for that, especially us. And that ‘more to come’ was linked with the plans of the government to revamp the structure of the country so that it no longer remains a country people will visit only for worship. Presently, loads of tourists are heading to Saudi Arabia for both worship and tourism.
The latter is what brings various opportunities for all parties such as construction, production, MEP, etc. MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. These services are provided to contractors through a team of professionals. Mind you, this team is no ordinary team where one person performs a single task. In contrast, this is a team where each person is an MEP professional who knows how to deal with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work.
Moving forward, Saudi Arabia is a great place to invest in any development project. The labor is high in demand and so are the services we are focusing on, the MEP. Often people question the extent of MEP services available for offer in Saudi Arabia considering they plan to begin or invest in a development of construction. To highlight these issues and offer our input, we enlist some of the best, in-demand, and top-searched MEP services currently on offer in Saudi Arabia.
Mechanical Services
The first and foremost service in the MEP is mechanical services. Whenever you study MEP, you will come to know that mechanical services always carry more importance in comparison to electrical and plumbing services. And there are certain reasons for that. At first, the mechanical services for any construction involve HVAC designs, elevators and lifts, piping and duct systems, and energy management or sustainability. All such sub-services constitute a mechanical service and bore significance in the outcome of a properly constructed company. Let us discuss what each of these services carries.
HVAC
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning. This is a system that is almost incomparable in countries like Saudi Arabia where heat waves are common. Here, heating and cooling systems are of utmost necessity. In an HVAC service, the goal is to maintain the temperature.
Elevators and Escalators
Multistory buildings always require some ways to propagate among different floors. And this is made possible through elevators and escalators that require a professional mechanical service. All elevators and escalator systems were planned, worked upon, and made functional through mechanical services.
Fire Protection System
Fire protection systems are also necessary for any building disregarding its size and capacity. Each building must have an adequate fire and safety system and this is where mechanical systems play a pivotal role. In such a service, fire detection and suppression systems are installed to deal with any emergency that may arise.
Energy Management and Sustainability
Another top-notch service that mechanical service has to offer is energy management and sustainability. The emphasis on this is because the HVAC design and implementation alongside ventilation systems involve a considerable transfer and working of energy that needs to be conserved to result in cost and energy savings.
Electrical Services
After mechanical services, the next emphasis is on electrical services. Electrical services carry on the work of mechanical services to ensure that all systems about electrical wirings are set as per standard. This is to further ensure that a building is safer in terms of electrical systems alongside mechanical systems, which further assures the building is ready to go into the final step of the MEP service. In electrical services, below are the in-demand services that are on offer.
Fire Alarm and Security Systems
Fire alarms and security systems are always a necessity. If fire systems are involved in mechanical services, then fire alarm systems are always the work of electrical personnel. Electrical fire alarms are installed throughout the building and connected to a large security system that offers a high level of security.
Power Distribution Networks
Electrical systems comprise electrical wirings. Power distribution networks are always manually created in a building unit to ensure that all electrical supplies reach dedicated areas swiftly. Also, such power distribution networks help to provide a single system to operate and maintain them.
System Design
An electrical system design is always necessary and imperative to give the building a safer atmosphere in terms of electrical wiring. Almost everything a mechanical system does involves some sort of electrical wiring or tweaks. And to ensure that in a structured manner lends support to the mechanical systems as well. Hence, a good electrical system is always imperative.
Lighting Design
When it comes to aesthetics, nothing serves a purpose than a well-organised and structured lighting system. A lighting system design can do wonders when it comes to ambiance, atmosphere, vibe, and acceptance from people.
Plumbing Services
Finally, we move to the plumbing services that complete the MEP set of services. In essence, this final service carries its responsibilities, importance, and functionality to the extreme. When you involve a structure and people, plumbing has to play a pivotal role and that is why the MEP services comprise plumbing alongside mechanical and electrical. Let us dive into the world of plumbing services.
Piping
Piping such as gas and water piping is of importance likewise since plumbers have a high level of expertise regarding where to install pipes so that the flow is not hampered or damaged. This is also one of the highly critical processes in a building’s construction
Drainage System
Water entering a building needs some sort of way to move out as well and to ensure that water leaves the building at all costs, drainage systems are introduced that result in spectacular elimination of water from a building.
Water Supply and Distribution
Undoubtedly one of the most important sub-services in the entire MEP system is the water supply and distribution service. This service alone carries a significant amount of importance that no one can imagine. A supply and distribution system ensures that an adequate supply of water reaches all the necessary areas of a building in the right manner.
Sanitary Installation and Fitting
Even if you complete the entire mechanical and electrical work for residents to move in, still they cannot move in until all sanitary installation and fitment have taken place. It is because the sanitary items are of immense importance and their installation is a key work of plumbing personnel.
