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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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. Our mechanical PPM services include inspection and servicing of pumps, motors, fans, compressors, valves, and pipework across chilled water, hot water, domestic water, firefighting, and fuel oil systems. We check for leaks, corrosion, vibration, wear, and operational efficiency, ensuring every mechanical asset is maintained to manufacturer specifications and regulatory standards.

Reliable plumbing and drainage infrastructure is fundamental to the operation of any building. Compass FM provides full plumbing maintenance, repair, and installation services across all building types in Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Our plumbing teams handle everything from routine maintenance and leak detection to full system replacements and new installations. Our services cover cold and hot water distribution systems, sanitary drainage, storm water drainage, grease trap cleaning and maintenance, water storage tank cleaning and disinfection, booster pump servicing, and pressure reducing valve maintenance. We also carry out legionella risk assessments and water quality testing to protect occupant health and ensure compliance with public health regulations.

Fire suppression and firefighting systems are non-negotiable life-safety assets. Compass FM provides full maintenance and certification services for all types of firefighting systems, including wet riser systems, dry riser systems, sprinkler systems, deluge systems, foam systems, and gaseous suppression systems such as FM200 and CO2. Our firefighting maintenance programme includes monthly, quarterly, and annual inspections and testing in compliance with NFPA standards and local civil defence authority requirements across Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. We maintain complete service records and provide certificates of compliance, ensuring your systems are always inspection-ready.

Water systems in GCC facilities are particularly susceptible to scaling, corrosion, and biological contamination due to the high mineral content and temperature of local water supplies. Compass FM provides comprehensive water treatment programmes for cooling towers, chilled water systems, hot water systems, and domestic water supplies. Our water treatment services include regular water quality testing, chemical dosing programme management, system flushing and passivation, scale and corrosion inhibitor application, and microbiological monitoring. We provide full documentation of all test results and chemical records to support regulatory compliance and HSE audits.

Vertical transportation systems are high-use, safety-critical assets in any multi-storey facility. Compass FM provides maintenance management for lifts, escalators, and moving walkways across GCC facilities, coordinating with certified specialist subcontractors and managing all compliance, certification, and regulatory inspection requirements. We ensure all vertical transportation assets are maintained in line with local municipality requirements and that all statutory inspection certificates are in place and current.
