Infrastructure & Data Centers
Data centers, airports, hospitals and the transit networks that connect them. Critical infrastructure that has to stay on.
Where we focus.
Critical-infrastructure facilities run on the same electrical and mechanical fundamentals as industrial plants — but with even tighter uptime requirements. Data centers in particular need power distribution, cooling and monitoring that won't blink.
We supply the industrial-grade UPS systems, switchgear, BMS controllers, motors and chillers that go into these facilities, and our EPC capability extends to electrical balance of plant for data center campuses.

Real-world failure modes engineers encounter.
MV switchgear arc-flash on failed CT/VT
Current/voltage transformer failure on metal-clad switchgear can propagate to a phase-to-phase fault; arc-flash mitigation and timely PD monitoring matter.
Cast-resin transformer thermal trip
Indoor cast-resin transformers in data-center electrical rooms trip on overheating when room ventilation is undersized for ambient.
UPS battery-bank capacity drift
VRLA battery banks in critical-power UPS systems drift in capacity well before end-of-warranty; quarterly impedance testing catches this.
BMS controller communication loss
Building-management-system controllers drop off the network when MAC table sizes exceed switch capacity; managed switches with proper VLAN segmentation avoid this.
The codes that frame infrastructure & data centers procurement.
Regulatory landscape
Data-center and critical-infrastructure procurement in MENA is governed by the local utility's electrical code (DEWA Distribution Standards, KAHRAMAA Wiring Regulations, KSA Building Code 401 for electrical) plus international tier-rating frameworks (TIA-942, Uptime Institute). FAHSS conformity (UAE), SABER (Saudi Arabia) and G-Mark (GCC) apply to most electrical balance-of-plant equipment. Seismic compliance is often called out for MV/HV switchgear in Saudi Arabia's Western Region. For data-center campuses, the specific cloud-provider's technical specification (AWS, Azure, Google) layers on top of local code.
What buyers actually ask about infrastructure & data centers.
Can you supply DEWA-approved MV switchgear for a Tier III data center campus?+
Yes — pre-qualified switchgear and transformer manufacturers from the buyer's and DEWA's approved-vendor lists, DEWA witness on factory routine tests, FAHSS conformity declarations, and phased shipment to align with the contractor's installation sequence.
What is the typical lead time for cast-resin distribution transformers landed in Dubai?+
For DEWA-approved cast-resin distribution transformers, 16–24 weeks from PO is typical depending on rating and the manufacturer's allocation. Sealed indoor units, full type-test certificates, FAHSS conformity included.
Do you handle UPS battery-bank specification for a critical-power application?+
Yes. We size battery banks against real load profiles, specify VRLA or Li-ion per the cycling regime, and include impedance-monitoring instrumentation in the BoM. UPS modules from major manufacturers with N+1 or 2N topology depending on tier requirement.
What buyers typically ask about Infrastructure & Data Centers.
How to ensure generator set meets data center load requirements in MENA?+
Verify the generator's kVA rating matches your critical load plus redundancy. In MENA, ambient temperature derating is crucial; ensure the set is rated for 50°C or higher. Check for fast transient response (<10%) and compliance with ISO 8528. Specify a paralleling system for N+1 redundancy. Always request a load bank test report from the supplier.
What cooling system is best for data center UPS in hot climates?+
For UPS systems in MENA, liquid cooling is preferred over air-cooled due to high ambient temperatures. Ensure the cooling system can handle the UPS heat rejection at 50°C. Look for redundant pumps and chillers. For smaller installations, precision air conditioning with glycol or chilled water loops works. Always verify the cooling capacity in the site's worst-case conditions.
How to specify switchgear for a data center in a high seismic zone?+
Specify switchgear certified to IEC 62271 or ANSI C37 with seismic qualification per IEEE 693. In MENA, zones like Dubai require high seismic performance. Request a seismic test report or finite element analysis. Ensure the switchgear has rigid bus bars, reinforced enclosures, and anchored components. Also, consider arc flash mitigation and remote racking for safety.
