Learn moreRepair, overhaul and reclamation of explosion-protected (Ex) motors and generators, with or without terminal boxes, in accordance with IEC 60079-19:2019 under the IECEx 03 Certified Service Facilities Scheme. Certificate IECEx UL S0019, issued by UL Solutions, covers flameproof (Ex d), increased safety (Ex e), type of protection “n” (Ex n / Ex ec), pressurised (Ex p) and dust-protected (Ex t, IEC 60079-31) machines, so that a repaired machine retains its explosion-protection integrity and certification status.
Issued on 8 September 2026 by UL Solutions, an IECEx-approved certification body, and listed as Current in the public IECEx Online Certificate System. Supported by IECEx Facility Audit Report US/UL/FAR26.0001/00, valid to 11 August 2029.
Published capabilities of the Dammam facility.
Overhead cranes for motors and equipment up to 20 tons
Test facilities designed for high-voltage AC equipment up to 13.8 kV
DC equipment testing and operation up to 1,000 V
Equipped to perform solo-run tests up to 4,000 kW
Across Saudi Arabia and the GCC since 1988
The same controlled route for a 10 kW pump motor and a 13.8 kV compressor drive; Ex machines add the IEC 60079-19 checks at every step.
Nameplate and Ex-marking verification, electrical tests, core-loss, dimensional and vibration baseline. You receive a documented report and a fixed-scope quotation.
Winding data confirmed against OEM records or reverse-engineered; repair method, insulation system and critical dimensions defined before work starts.
Stripping in the burn-off oven, rewinding in the temperature-controlled area, VPI impregnation, machining and reclamation, balancing to 5 tons.
Solo run to 4,000 kW, high-voltage tests to 13.8 kV, vibration and balancing results on the test certificate; Ex repair marking and report where applicable; delivery or on-site commissioning.
Nine sectors, one standard: the plants that keep the Kingdom's production, power, water and transport running.
Local manufacturing that shortens lead times and reduces import dependence, in line with Vision 2030.
Form-wound and random-wound coils, complete winding kits and slot insulation manufactured to the original winding data or re-engineered for a new duty.
Commutators, brush holders and carbon brushes for DC machines, slip-ring motors and generators, matched to the original grade and dimensions.
Machined shafts, motor housings, end bells, fan guards, couplings and keys produced in our mechanical department to drawing or reverse-engineered from the worn part.
Terminal blocks and terminal boxes for low and medium voltage machines, including custom enclosures for hazardous-area retrofits.
IECEx Certified Service Facility (certificate IECEx UL S0019) for the repair, overhaul and reclamation of explosion-protected motors and generators — Ex d, Ex e, Ex n, Ex p and Ex t — to IEC 60079-19:2019, so the machine keeps its certification.
Every job starts with a documented condition assessment so you know what failed, why, and what it costs before work begins.
Repairs follow the ANSI/EASA AR100 recommended practice and the OEM winding data, so efficiency and reliability survive the repair.
Solo runs to 4,000 kW, high-voltage tests to 13.8 kV, vibration and balancing results on a certificate that travels with the machine.
Coils, winding kits and machined parts produced in Dammam shorten lead times and reduce import dependence.
