Freyssinet Saudi Arabia

What Freyssinet Saudi Arabia does

Freyssinet Saudi Arabia Co. Ltd. (FSA) is a Jeddah-headquartered general contractor and engineering firm founded in 1978 by the late Sheikh Kamal Adham, with branch offices in Riyadh and a technical office in Beirut. The company originates from the highly specialized field of prefabricated and pre-stressed concrete — including post-tensioning and segmental precast construction — and has since expanded into full-scale general contracting across high-rise buildings, hospitals, hospitality, cultural facilities, bridges, roads, tunnels, heritage restoration, and government complexes. Its service portfolio spans Construction, Design & Build, Constructability/Buildability advisory, Project & Program Management, Digital Construction (BIM compliant with ISO 19650), and specialist Lifting Solutions, supported by an in-house MEP division and an extensive specialized equipment fleet (launching gantries, lifting frames, gantry cranes, and 216-ton heavy-load trailers).

FSA serves primarily Saudi government and quasi-government clients, including the Ministry of Culture, Royal Commission for Riyadh City, Misk City Company, King Salman Park Foundation, Qiddiya Investment Company, Arriyadh Development Authority, and Riyadh Municipality, with selective private-sector clients such as Emaar King Abdullah Economic City and Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries. Project delivery is via direct enterprise engagement and competitive tendering under fixed-price construction contracts; the firm participates in mega-consortia including the FAST Alliance (Riyadh Metro Lines 4, 5, 6) and a JV with HAIF Contracting on Qiddiya and King Salman Park infrastructure. The company has accumulated several billion SAR of completed project value since 1978 and is positioned as a premier engineering contractor in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 buildout.
