At ALHASHEM for Contracting & Investment Ltd., we believe that successful project execution begins with smart, reliable engineering. Our Engineering & Design Services are at the core of every EPC project we deliver, forming the blueprint that guides procurement, construction, and long-term operation. Whether it’s a large-scale power plant, oil pipeline, or gas processing facility, our design solutions balance innovation, constructability, safety, and compliance.
With an expert team of engineers, designers, and planners, ALHASHEM offers multidisciplinary design solutions that meet the highest international standards.
Comprehensive Engineering Capabilities
Our Engineering Division delivers end-to-end design services across core disciplines:
- Process Engineering
- Mechanical and Piping Design
- Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering
- Civil and Structural Engineering
- Control & Automation Design
- Fire and Safety Systems
We support projects from the Feasibility stage to Detailed Engineering and As-built Documentation.
Process Engineering
Our process engineers design safe, efficient, and scalable systems tailored to oil & gas and power plant projects. We deliver:
- Process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)
- Heat and material balance (HMB)
- Equipment sizing and specification
- Relief and flare system design
- Process simulation using HYSYS or Aspen
Each design undergoes validation through simulations, ensuring optimal efficiency under different load and operating conditions.
Mechanical & Piping Design
Mechanical design includes 3D layout, static and rotating equipment specification, and piping isometrics. Key activities:
- Layout of turbines, compressors, boilers, and pressure vessels
- Piping material specification and stress analysis
- Pipe support and expansion loop design
- BOM generation for fabrication
We ensure that every mechanical system meets ASME, API, and ANSI standards.
Electrical & Instrumentation Engineering
We offer full-scope E&I design, from HV substations to low-voltage switchboards and instrumentation loops.
- Single line diagrams (SLD)
- Load flow and short-circuit studies
- Relay and protection coordination
- Lighting, earthing, and cabling layout
- PLC, SCADA, and DCS systems architecture
- Control room ergonomics and panel design
Our E&I team works closely with vendors to ensure compatibility and integration with automation systems.
Civil & Structural Design
ALHASHEM designs resilient civil infrastructure that supports long-term reliability in harsh environments.
- Structural design for equipment foundations, buildings, and pipe racks
- Civil works including roads, drainage, and fencing
- Soil investigation and geotechnical interpretation
- Seismic and wind load analysis
- Architectural drawings and detailing
All civil structures comply with ACI, BS, and Eurocodes as applicable.
HAZOP & Safety Design
As part of our commitment to operational safety, we perform:
- Hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies
- Risk assessments and safety integrity level (SIL) analysis
- Emergency shutdown (ESD) and fire detection systems
- Fireproofing and explosion venting designs
- Escape route and evacuation planning
This ensures every design is robust, compliant, and protective of human life and environment.
BIM, CAD & Digital Design
Using tools like AutoCAD, AVEVA, SmartPlant, and Revit, we deliver:
- 2D and 3D modeling
- Clash detection
- Bill of Materials (BoM) extraction
- Digital twins and intelligent schematics
Our digital workflows improve collaboration across disciplines and reduce rework during construction.
Documentation and Deliverables
We deliver a complete set of engineering documents including:
- Drawings and 3D models
- Equipment datasheets and specifications
- Construction work packages
- Installation manuals and testing procedures
- As-built drawings and O&M manuals
We use document control systems to track revisions, maintain traceability, and ensure real-time coordination between all project stakeholders.
Code Compliance and Standards
All engineering is done in compliance with:
- API, ASME, ASTM, IEC, IEEE, NFPA
- ISO 9001, 14001, and OHSAS 18001 standards
- Country-specific regulations (UAE DEWA/ADNOC)
Engineering Project Types
- Gas compressor and booster stations
- Power generation plants (GT, HFO, Diesel)
- Oil storage terminals and tank farms
- Substations (33/11kV, 132/33kV)
- Process facilities for oil & gas fields
