What does Yanbu Industrial City expect from an automation contractor?
Yanbu Industrial City is run by the Royal Commission and houses refining, petrochemical and utility plants, with a separate commercial port and the older Yanbu Al-Bahr town nearby. Contractors there are asked for structure: an inspection and test plan, a functional design specification, change control and clean handover records. In Yanbu we have worked on projects for the Royal Commission.
We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and we have worked on projects for Saudi Aramco, SABIC and the Royal Commission. Our approvals page shows what that means for your documents.
Do you work to marine and classification rules in Yanbu?
Yes, where a package or terminal asset needs class documentation. Our certifications include Lloyd's Register (LR) Rules for Classification, RINA and ABS classification. We write the control philosophy, alarm list and test records so that a surveyor can trace each requirement to a test. Our oil and gas page covers the process side. We use IEC 61511 only as context for how your safety layers are documented, and we do not take on safety instrumented system design.
How is a Yanbu project run from Dammam?
- We review your specification and mark deviations in writing before pricing.
- We issue the quotation with the document list and review cycle.
- We program and simulate in Dammam, keeping the revision log.
- Your engineer or third-party inspector witnesses the FAT.
- We travel for installation checks and commissioning.
- We hand over as-built software, loop folders and backups, then support remotely.
Yanbu industrial automation questions
Who provides industrial automation in Yanbu?
KSA Industrial Automation Company provides PLC, SCADA, telemetry and commissioning for Yanbu plants from its office in Al Shati District, Dammam. We are approved by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, Saudi Aramco and SABIC. Send your documents for a quotation within one working day.
What affects the cost of automation for a Yanbu plant?
Cost depends on I/O count, platform, the volume of documents the owner requires, the number of witnessed tests, and the days spent on site. A clear specification with its revision number lets us price against fixed scope rather than allowances.
How long does a Yanbu automation project take?
PLC work typically takes 2–6 weeks per system, SCADA 4–12 weeks and telemetry 3–8 weeks. The review cycle for your documents and the date of your shutdown or start-up set the real timetable.
Can you start work before a purchase order is issued?
We can review your specification and prepare a priced scope and programme before an order, so that you hold the commercial detail at tender stage. Engineering starts when your order or letter of intent arrives.
Do you provide safety instrumented system design?
We integrate the logic and test records around your safety layers and read the IEC 61511 documents your engineers issue. Safety instrumented system design and verification remain with the licensor or a specialist assessor.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the I/O list, P&IDs, specification with revision numbers and the list of documents the owner expects from you. We return a proposal with a document schedule within one working day.
