Power plants are complex systems that face numerous execution challenges especially in the Middle East’s demanding environments. ALHASHEM brings the technical know-how, regional experience, and strategic foresight needed to overcome these challenges and deliver world-class power infrastructure.
Challenge 1: Harsh Environmental Conditions
Desert temperatures, dust storms, and high humidity can affect equipment and workforce performance.
Our Solution:
- Use of weather-resistant materials
- Climate-controlled shelters for sensitive installations
- Worker safety through hydration stations and heat protocol
Challenge 2: Remote Locations and Accessibility
Many projects are far from major cities, posing logistical issues.
Our Solution:
- Modular construction to reduce on-site work
- Road access planning and equipment transport support
- Mobile workforce accommodation with utilities
Challenge 3: Fuel Supply and Integration
Power plants rely on a consistent fuel supply whether gas, diesel, or HFO.
Our Solution:
- Design flexibility (dual-fuel options)
- Integration with national pipelines or onsite fuel storage
- Collaboration with energy authorities for continuity
Challenge 4: Grid Connectivity and Compatibility
Power plants must connect to and comply with local grid requirements.
Our Solution:
- Engineering substations and transmission lines
- Real-time SCADA systems and automation
- Testing and protection relay coordination
Challenge 5: Safety and Quality Assurance
High-voltage systems and rotating machinery pose serious risks.
Our Solution:
- Daily toolbox talks and permit-to-work systems
- Non-stop QA/QC audits
- On-site HSE officers and emergency drills
Tech Tools We Use
- BIM for design coordination
- Predictive maintenance systems
- Cloud-based reporting dashboards
Case Study
In a diesel power plant project in rural Syria, ALHASHEM managed site access issues, fuel logistics, and power transmission under extreme heat delivering a 120MW facility ahead of schedule.
Power plant construction is a high-stakes endeavor, but with ALHASHEM’s experience and problem-solving mindset, even the toughest challenges are managed proactively. We build more than power we build reliability.
