Fugro Suhaimi Company Ltd.

What Fugro Suhaimi Company Ltd. does

Fugro Suhaimi Company Ltd. is the Saudi Arabian operating subsidiary of Fugro N.V., the Dutch publicly listed (Euronext Amsterdam: FUR) geo-data specialist founded in 1962. Established in 1978 and headquartered in Dammam, the entity operates 11 offices across Saudi Arabia and employs 403 people, delivering geotechnical, geophysical, hydrographic, and environmental survey services to the kingdom's infrastructure, energy, and water sectors. Its service portfolio supports site characterization, offshore wind development, oil and gas exploration, and large civil engineering programs, leveraging proprietary tools such as GroundIQ for geotechnical ground models and SEADEVIL/Sea Auk for deepwater data acquisition.

The company's competitive position rests on Fugro's 60+ year proprietary geo-data archive, a fleet of advanced acquisition assets including the electric deep-drive CPT system and zero-emission Blue Essence USV, and AI-enabled analytics delivered through the Fugro GeoAI Framework. Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based survey contracts and an emerging portfolio of subscription-based digital services, with renewables representing approximately 30% of group revenue. Named enterprise and government clients span energy majors, transmission utilities, engineering firms, defense agencies, and Gulf public infrastructure authorities, indicating a diversified customer base and multi-vertical exposure.

Recent strategic activity at the parent group level — including the Galt Geotechnics acquisition, the divestiture of Seabed Geosolutions, and the launch of AI-native and zero-emission platforms — is reshaping Fugro Suhaimi's tool set and addressable market. The subsidiary is well positioned to translate these capabilities into Saudi mega-project demand driven by Vision 2030 infrastructure spending, while benefiting from parent-level investments in AI analytics and sustainable offshore survey technology.
