Fire Division

Licensed supply, installation, testing and commissioning of fire protection, detection and suppression systems for Oman's oil and gas, energy and industrial plants.

Protecting Critical Assets

From Supply to Civil Defence Handover

BGD's Fire Division supplies, installs, tests and commissions fire water, sprinkler, detection, alarm, foam and suppression systems for oil and gas, energy, petrochemical and industrial facilities across the Sultanate of Oman.

The division is licensed by the Civil Defence and Ambulance Authority for nine categories of fire fighting and alarm installations. It draws on the wider strengths of BGD: in-house pipe spool and skid fabrication at our 25,000 m² Sohar facility, piping and civil construction crews, and ISO-certified quality, safety and environmental management.

Clients receive a single point of responsibility for supply, fabrication, installation, civil works, pressure testing and commissioning, with the documentation needed for authority approval.
