What Albusaili Company does

AlBusaili Company is a privately held Saudi Arabian industrial services contractor founded in April 1961 by Mr. AbdulRahman AlBusaili and headquartered in Riyadh. The company delivers electromechanical, electrical, water and wastewater treatment, and aviation fueling services to enterprise and government clients across the Kingdom, with a primary focus on Saudi Aramco's refineries, NGL facilities, petrochemical plants, and a network of 15 airports and air bases under continuous Air Fuelling Operations (AFO) contracts held since 1996.

The service portfolio spans four core lines (mechanical works including chillers and HVAC; electrical works including high-voltage substations up to 330kV; technical backup/AFO; and water/wastewater treatment), supplemented by specialized divisions covering substation construction, industrial automation (via a 2008 JV with Elkon covering PLC/SCADA/BMS), instrumentation control, plant shutdowns and turnarounds, high-voltage testing and commissioning, condition-based monitoring (HI-TECH Services), and industrial fabrication/welding. Technology draws on membrane filtration for water treatment, GIS and conventional substations, and condition-monitoring instrumentation from world-renowned manufacturers.

AlBusaili earns revenue primarily through project-based contracts (lump sum, time and material, maintenance) and managed services for enterprise clients secured via direct relationships and competitive bidding. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 18001:2007 certifications and serves marquee clients including Saudi Aramco (Riyadh, Jeddah, Yanbu refineries and Tanajib), National Water Company, Saline Water Conversion Corporation, Petro Rabigh, Al-Khafji Joint Operations, and Grain Silos Flour Mills, with offices and operations spanning Riyadh, Jeddah, Yanbu, Najran, and Al-Khafji.
