Who needs an operation and maintenance contract?
- 1
A facility without an in-house team
Hotels, factories and government buildings need someone daily to start chillers, watch pumps and log readings. Without a specialist team, a small fault grows before anyone notices.
- 2
A facility with repeated breakdowns
Repeated breakdowns usually point to missed preventive work: a blocked filter, a compressor running under load, a worn pulley in an AHU. A contract catches these causes before they become full failures.
- 3
A government or hotel project that requires records
Some government and hotel clients require operating logs and regular maintenance reports. We produce these on schedule and keep them available whenever you need them.
Who it's for
Managing a hotel where the HVAC plant runs all day
We handle daily operation of chillers, AHUs and pumps, and produce the reading logs and reports your hotel management requires.
Ask on WhatsAppRunning a factory where an HVAC stoppage halts production
We carry out preventive maintenance on compressors, coils and valves on schedule so your production line is not stopped in Jeddah's summer, and we repair any fault as soon as it appears.

How we work
How we work
- 1
Site survey and plant assessment
We visit the facility and record all HVAC equipment, assessing the condition of each unit before signing, because the scope depends on what the survey finds.
- 2
Agree scope and schedule
We set the preventive maintenance schedule with you, define the daily operating tasks and each party's responsibilities, and agree the format and frequency of reports.
- 3
Start operations and preventive work
Our team handles daily operation and carries out preventive work on schedule: cleaning coils, inspecting compressors, testing valves and manifolds, and logging readings each round.
- 4
Regular reports and ongoing follow-up
We send periodic reports covering work completed, observations and any parts replaced, so facility management stays fully informed about the plant's condition.

What sets this district apart
Airport terminals, storage facilities and service centres at Old Airport rely on large reliable central AC systems working in a harsh environment of intense heat, desert dust and coastal humidity. The load is very heavy year-round, and any downtime or delay disrupts sensitive operations. Monthly maintenance and careful inspection are vital to ensure high reliability and minimise failures.
Old Airport sits in central Jeddah, home to terminals and ground storage facilities with powerful central AC systems.
Most terminals and storage facilities at Old Airport use large water chillers with powerful pumps and ductwork distributed across vast high-bay spaces.
The AC setup in Old Airport
- 1
Very large chillers with multiple pump systems
Airport terminals use massive chillers with multiple pump systems distributing chilled water across very extensive pipe networks.
- 2
Giant metal ducts in high-bay spaces
Main air handling units distribute cool air through giant metal ducts to all parts of the high-bay terminal and warehouse.
- 3
Large cooling towers in a harsh environment
Outdoor cooling towers are very large and exposed to desert dust and coastal humidity, requiring heavy cleaning and close monitoring.
Before the visit
Before our visit in Old Airport
- 1
Pinpoint chiller and tower locations
Provide a precise map showing chiller, towers, machine room, access restrictions and safe and hazardous zones.
- 2
Coordinate with operations management
The terminal operates 24/7, so coordinate with operations to schedule maintenance that does not disrupt flight operations.
- 3
Ensure safe access and specialist equipment
The terminal may need specialized access equipment and safety procedures; confirm all required security and safety approvals before the visit.

FAQ
Questions about Operation & maintenance contracts
Do you handle plant operation as well as maintenance?
We cover both. Our team operates the plant daily: monitoring circuit pressures, water temperatures and flow rates, logging control-panel readings, and adjusting settings to match the load. Alongside daily operation, the contract includes preventive and corrective maintenance, with regular reports submitted to facility management.
What is the difference between preventive and corrective maintenance in your contract?
Preventive maintenance means inspecting components while they are still running: cleaning AHU coils, checking pump belts and fan bearings, verifying copper-pipe connections, and testing condenser and evaporator performance. Corrective maintenance starts when an actual fault is found, such as a tripping breaker, a degraded capacitor or a circuit leak, and the goal is to restore full plant performance.
Can you work on different brands of equipment in the same facility?
Yes. Many facilities combine equipment from several manufacturers on a single network. Our team works with Carrier, YORK, General, Midea, Gree and Smart Gold equipment within one unified operating system. When a contract covers multi-brand equipment, the initial site survey sets the specific procedures for each unit.
What happens when a worn part is found during a preventive maintenance round?
The technician records the finding in the inspection log and notifies the facility supervisor immediately. The extent of the damage and its effect on the rest of the plant is assessed, then the part is replaced or repaired under corrective maintenance before the fault develops and disrupts operation. The full incident is entered in the visit report.
What happens when a worn part is found during a preventive maintenance round?
We record the finding immediately in the round log and inform facility management of the part and the cause of the wear. After approval we replace the part and record it in the maintenance report. The final decision stays with you, and identifying the right part depends on the unit specifications noted in the survey.
How often should an airport terminal's AC system be checked?
Airport environment is very harsh, so we recommend weekly checks of pressure, temperature and leaks, monthly coil and tower cleaning, with detailed reports each time.
The terminal runs 24/7; can maintenance happen without stopping operations?
Yes, we schedule routine maintenance during lower-traffic times, and emergency repairs are done as quickly as possible while cooling other areas continues.
How do desert dust and coastal humidity affect the AC system?
Desert dust and humidity speed coil and tower wear and increase chiller load, so we boost cleaning frequency and inspect towers weekly.
The airport terminal needs vast electrical power; how do you handle this?
Large terminal chillers need very heavy-duty wiring, strong breakers and stable power; we inspect wiring adequacy weekly and recommend upgrades if needed.
