More about Kalis

Licensed: APPCO Fire Protection, licensed to design, install and maintain fire protection in the Kingdom, now trades as Kalis.
Experienced: Leaders who have run EPC, fire protection and industrial services companies in Saudi Arabia, joined by engineers from design, delivery and maintenance.
Disciplined: One engineering method for design, take-off, testing and handover, and one record that proves it to the Civil Defense and to the client.

What we do

Four services.
One accountable contractor.

One contractor answers for all four, so nothing falls between the designer, the installer and the maintainer.

Markets

Each has its own hazard and its own limits on when work can happen. We start from both.

Compliance

Every facility must renew.
We make it routine.

Approve: Designed to Civil Defense requirements from the first drawing. Our engineer signs a pre-inspection record before the authority arrives.
Prove: A signed record at every step and a record per asset, from installation to the next inspection.
Renew: Inspections, certificates and renewal dates held in one digital record, so nothing lapses unnoticed.

How compliance works

1Survey Walk the facility and list every system.
2Register Tag every asset and open its record.
3Inspect and test Test to NFPA, record the result.
4Correct Price and close each deficiency.
5Certify Civil Defense and consultant sign-off.
6Renew Dates tracked, next visit booked.
