Powering & Maintaining the Infrastructure That Keeps Your Facility Running — Qatar, UAE & Saudi Arabia

Compass FM delivers comprehensive electrical and mechanical services to facilities across the GCC, combining technical expertise, certified engineering teams, and a deep understanding of regional compliance requirements. From routine inspections and preventive maintenance to complex installations and emergency repairs, we provide the full spectrum of electrical and mechanical support that modern facilities demand.

Our services are built around one fundamental principle — your facility must never stop. Whether you operate a hospital that cannot afford a power interruption, a commercial tower that must maintain full mechanical operations year-round, or an industrial plant where downtime directly costs production, Compass FM is the partner that keeps your infrastructure performing reliably, safely, and efficiently.

The Critical Role of Electrical & Mechanical Services in GCC Facilities

Facilities across Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia operate in some of the world's most energy-intensive environments. Extreme heat, high humidity, dusty conditions, and around-the-clock operational demands place enormous stress on electrical systems, mechanical plant, and critical building infrastructure. Without a structured and professionally managed maintenance programme, even the most modern facilities face accelerating deterioration, regulatory non-compliance, and costly unplanned failures. Electrical faults are among the leading causes of fire incidents in GCC buildings. Mechanical failures lead to production losses, system downtime, and occupant discomfort. The consequences of neglecting electrical and mechanical maintenance are severe — and in many cases, entirely preventable. Compass FM provides the expertise, workforce, and systems to ensure your electrical and mechanical infrastructure is always inspected, serviced, compliant, and ready to perform. Our teams work across all building types and sectors, bringing the same rigorous standards of service to every engagement regardless of facility size or complexity.

Our Electrical Services

Planned Preventive Electrical Maintenance

A structured preventive maintenance programme is the most effective way to protect your electrical infrastructure and avoid costly failures. Compass FM designs bespoke preventive electrical maintenance schedules that cover all aspects of your facility's electrical system — from incoming supplies and main distribution boards through to final circuits, lighting, and socket outlets. Our preventive electrical maintenance visits include thermographic inspection of switchgear and distribution panels, tightening of electrical connections, insulation resistance testing, earth continuity verification, circuit breaker and fuse inspection, power quality analysis, and testing of all safety devices including RCDs, MCBs, and overcurrent protection. All findings are recorded digitally and provided to the client in a structured report with recommended remedial actions prioritised by urgency and risk. Regular preventive maintenance of electrical systems reduces the risk of fire, extends the life of expensive switchgear and distribution equipment, ensures regulatory compliance, and gives facility managers full visibility into the health of their electrical infrastructure.

High & Low Voltage Systems Maintenance

Compass FM holds the necessary certifications and authorisations to work on both high voltage and low voltage electrical systems across GCC facilities. Our HV and LV maintenance services cover primary substations, ring main units, 11kV and 33kV switchgear, power transformers, LV distribution boards, bus duct systems, and all associated protection and metering equipment. We carry out HV switching operations in strict accordance with safety rules and permit-to-work systems, ensuring full compliance with KAHRAMAA regulations in Qatar, DEWA and ADDC requirements in the UAE, and SEC standards in Saudi Arabia. Our engineers are experienced in working within live substation environments and follow rigorous safe systems of work at all times.

Emergency Lighting & Fire Alarm Systems

Emergency lighting and fire alarm systems are life-safety assets that must function perfectly when called upon. Compass FM provides full maintenance, testing, and certification services for all types of emergency lighting systems — including central battery systems, self-contained luminaires, and maintained and non-maintained fittings — as well as conventional and addressable fire alarm systems. Our service includes monthly, quarterly, and annual testing in line with BS 5266, BS 5839, and relevant local civil defence authority requirements. We provide full documentation of all test results, certificates of compliance, and remedial works to ensure your systems are always ready and fully compliant with Qatar Civil Defence, UAE Civil Defence, and Saudi Civil Defence regulations.

Power Distribution & Cabling

Compass FM designs, supplies, installs, and maintains power distribution systems across all voltage levels for facilities throughout the GCC. Our electrical teams are experienced in the installation of power cables, containment systems, busbar trunking, panel boards, distribution boards, and associated switchgear for new construction, fit-out, and refurbishment projects. We also carry out detailed cable surveys, megger testing, and thermal imaging of existing distribution infrastructure to identify deterioration, overloading, and potential failure points before they become critical issues.

Generator & UPS Maintenance

Backup power systems are mission-critical assets for hospitals, data centres, telecommunications facilities, and any operation that cannot tolerate a power outage. Compass FM provides comprehensive maintenance services for diesel generators of all sizes and makes, as well as UPS systems, automatic transfer switches, and associated distribution equipment. Our generator maintenance programme includes regular load bank testing, oil and filter changes, cooling system checks, battery inspection, control system testing, and full operational tests under simulated power failure conditions. We ensure your backup power assets will perform exactly as required when the mains supply fails.

Lighting Design, Supply & Installation

Effective lighting significantly impacts occupant wellbeing, productivity, safety, and energy consumption. Compass FM provides full lighting design, supply, installation, and commissioning services for all facility types — from office and retail spaces to industrial warehouses, car parks, external areas, and specialist environments such as operating theatres and clean rooms. We are specialists in LED lighting upgrades and retrofit projects, delivering measurable reductions in energy consumption while improving light quality and reducing maintenance requirements. Our lighting teams work with all major manufacturers and can integrate lighting controls, daylight sensors, and occupancy detection as part of a comprehensive smart lighting solution.

Earthing & Lightning Protection

Earthing systems and lightning protection are often invisible yet fundamental to the safety of any building and its occupants. Compass FM inspects, tests, and maintains earthing systems and lightning protection installations across GCC facilities, carrying out earth resistance testing, soil resistivity surveys, bonding checks, and full system surveys in line with IEC and BS standards. We also design and install new earthing and lightning protection systems for new construction and upgrade projects, ensuring full compliance with local authority requirements.

Our Mechanical Services

Mechanical Planned Preventive Maintenance

Beyond HVAC, a facility's mechanical infrastructure includes a wide range of systems that require regular inspection and servicing to remain safe, efficient, and compliant. Compass FM provides comprehensive mechanical PPM programmes covering all non-HVAC mechanical systems within your facility.
