Arco Safety Ltd Secured for Major Data Centre Project in Saudi Arabia
Created 6th June 2026Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Arco Safety Ltd is proud to announce it has been appointed to provide specialist Health & Safety consultancy and compliance oversight for a major new data centre development in Saudi Arabia.
The contract marks a significant international milestone for the UK-based consultancy, expanding its footprint into the rapidly growing Middle East technology sector.
Powering Digital Transformation Safely
Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing a massive digital transformation under its Vision 2030 initiative, with billions of dollars being directed into hyperscale data centres, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and cloud computing.
Because data centres require complex, high-density engineering—including advanced liquid cooling systems, massive power generation, and tight structural footprints—maintaining strict statutory compliance and rigorous safety-gateways is critical. Arco Safety was selected for its proven track record in navigating high-risk construction environments and ensuring "Operational Certainty."
Our Scope of Work
Arco Safety will work closely with international design and construction teams to embed world-class safety standards from the initial ground-breaking through to commissioning. Our core responsibilities on the project include:
Strategic CDM & Principal Designer Oversight: Aligning international design frameworks with rigorous risk-prevention principles.
Statutory Compliance Auditing: Ensuring all phases of the build meet international best practices and localized health, safety, and building regulations.
Risk and Assurance Consulting: Implementing strict safety protocols for high-voltage electrical installations and advanced MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems unique to tier-classification data facilities.
