Control Panels for Oil and Gas in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Control Panels Company builds control panels for oil and gas in Saudi Arabia: MCC panels, LV switchboards, instrument and marshalling cabinets and stainless outdoor panels for upstream, midstream and downstream sites. We are approved by Saudi Aramco, SABIC and the Royal Commission, and our typical lead time is 3 to 6 weeks depending on the panel type.

What do oil and gas projects ask of a control panel?
They ask for paperwork as much as for hardware. A purchaser on a pipeline, gas plant or refinery package expects data sheets, a clause-by-clause compliance statement, an inspection and test plan, material records and a witnessed factory test before the panel ships. Heat, salt air and fine sand mean the enclosure material and ingress rating are fixed at the start.
Typical panel duties on these sites:
- MCC panels for pumps, fans, utility air and cooling-water systems;
- LV switchboards for process buildings and camps;
- instrument, marshalling and junction cabinets that terminate field cabling;
- PLC and control panels for skids and packages, built to your drawings; and
- stainless steel outdoor panels for coastal and process-area duty.
Control panels for oil and gas: what we build
The table sets out the scope.
| Panel | Range / specification | Standard | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| LV switchboards / MDB / SMDB | Up to 6,300 A, 380–415 V 60 Hz, Form 1–4b, short-circuit rating up to 100 kA (per design verification) | IEC 61439-1/-2 | 3–5 weeks |
| MCC panels | Fixed or withdrawable, up to 4,000 A busbar, DOL, star-delta, soft-starter and VFD feeders | IEC 61439-1/-2 | 4–6 weeks |
| PLC and instrument panel hardware | Siemens, Rockwell or Schneider PLC hardware integrated per your drawings | IEC 60204-1 | 2–4 weeks |
| Stainless steel / outdoor panels | SS304 or SS316, IP55–IP66 | IEC 61439-1/-2; IP code to IEC 60529 | 3–5 weeks |
| Factory acceptance test | In-house routine verification; customer or third-party inspector witness welcome | IEC 61439-1/-2 | Included in build time |
We build with ABB, Schneider Electric and Siemens components in Rittal enclosures, selected from the makes your specification allows. Where your project calls for arc-fault containment, we build to IEC 61641 as specified. Panels stand in safe areas such as E-houses and control buildings; where field devices sit in hazardous areas, we fit the barriers and isolators your design requires inside the panel.
How do approved-vendor documents work on a panel order?
Approval puts a manufacturer on the vendor list. Each purchase order still checks the paperwork. Saudi Control Panels Company is approved by Saudi Aramco, SABIC and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, and we have worked on projects for all three. We prepare these alongside the panel:
- general arrangement and single-line drawings for approval;
- a compliance statement that lists every deviation from the specification;
- an inspection and test plan agreed before the build starts;
- material and component records; and
- the signed test record, as-built drawings and manuals.
Where your project calls up Saudi Aramco engineering standards, send the extracts and we address each clause. More on vendor-listed work: Aramco and SABIC approved panel manufacturer.
How are oil and gas panels built, tested and delivered?
- Enquiry. You send the single-line diagram, panel schedule and specification extracts.
- Review. We return a compliance statement and any proposed alternatives.
- Design. Drawings and data sheets are issued for approval.
- Build. Panels are assembled in our Dammam workshop from approved makes.
- Factory acceptance test. Wiring, insulation, protection and interlocks are verified and the record is signed. Your inspector can witness it.
- Delivery. Panels are packed and delivered to site or to your fabrication yard.
- Documentation. You receive as-built drawings, test records and manuals.
- Support. We stay available for spares and modifications.
Our FAT and testing page lists what each test covers.
Why build oil and gas panels in the Eastern Province?
Our our Dallah Industrial workshop in Dammam, at Dallah Industrial area, build more than 150 panels a month. They sit close to Jubail and Ras Al Khair, so your inspector can attend a witnessed test without a long trip. We respond to enquiries and site requests in the Eastern Province within one working day.
For enclosure work, welding is carried out by personnel qualified to ASME, AWS and DIN EN. For marine and offshore packages, our Lloyd's Register, RINA and ABS classification experience applies; see marine and offshore panels.
Oil and gas control panel questions
Who provides control panels for oil and gas in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Control Panels Company provides MCC panels, LV switchboards and instrument cabinets from its our Dallah Industrial workshop in Dammam, built with ABB, Schneider Electric and Siemens components. Approval is held from Saudi Aramco, SABIC and the Royal Commission.
What affects the cost of an oil and gas control panel?
The main factors are the current rating, the number and type of feeders, enclosure material and ingress rating, component make, the arc and short-circuit requirements, and the documentation and witness testing the project demands. Send your single-line diagram and the proposal prices each of these against your specification.
How long does oil and gas panel delivery take?
Delivery depends on the panel type, the number of sections and how quickly drawings are approved. Typical lead times run from 2 to 6 weeks, with switchboards at 3 to 5 weeks and MCC panels at 4 to 6 weeks.
Can you build to our project specification and inspection plan?
Yes. We review your specification, return a compliance statement, work to the inspection and test plan you approve and invite your inspector to witness the factory test. Any deviation is agreed before the build starts.
Do you fit barriers and isolators for hazardous-area signals?
Yes. When your design brings signals from hazardous-area devices into the panel, we mount and wire the intrinsically safe barriers or isolators you specify, label them as drawn and test the loops during the factory test. The panel itself stays in a safe area.
What should I send to get a quotation?
Send your single-line diagram, panel schedule or drawings, plus the specification extracts that apply. A feeder list with motor ratings helps for MCC panels. We reply within one working day.
