Our Commitment to Quality and Safety

At Qasr Alhimaya, we believe that true excellence in construction is built on a foundation of rigorous quality control and uncompromising safety. From the moment we begin engineering analyses to long after project handover, these principles guide every decision, every procedure, and every interaction with clients, regulators, and the communities our projects serve.

Certifications and Approvals

Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) Material and Contractor Approvals

Qasr Alhimaya—formerly FPG Kuwait—holds both Material Approval and Contractor Approval from the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF). These dual certifications affirm that our fire-protection coatings (cementitious and intumescent) and our installation teams meet the highest standards for performance, reliability, and compliance with stringent fire safety codes

ISO-Aligned Quality Management

We operate under a robust Quality Management System that aligns with ISO 9001 standards. Every material shipment undergoes batch verification, lab testing, and traceability logging before it ever reaches the site. Our internal auditors then continuously monitor project documentation, ensuring that shop drawings, material certificates, and inspection reports are fully reconciled in real time.

Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Excellence

Our Safety Management System follows ISO 45001 best practices. Proactive risk assessments, daily toolbox talks, and mandatory personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols result in a zero-incident safety record on our major projects. Third-party safety audits and emergency response drills are conducted quarterly to ensure readiness and continuous improvement.

Quality Assurance Processes

Material Traceability and Testing

Each batch of fire-protection coating and steel door hardware is logged with unique identifiers. In-house labs perform adhesion, wet-film thickness, and holiday detection tests—replicating real site conditions. Any deviations trigger immediate corrective actions, documented in our digital QA logs for full transparency.

Shop and Site Inspections

Qualified QA engineers oversee both workshop fabrication and on-site installation. Fabrication shops are audited weekly for dimensional tolerances and welding integrity. On site, our teams employ laser thickness gauges, pull-off testers, and visual checklists to confirm compliance with design specifications.

Final Handover Documentation

Upon project completion, clients receive a comprehensive handover package that includes:

Certified test reports for each coating system and door assembly

Inspection checklists signed by QA and HSE managers

Maintenance and re-inspection schedules tailored to local climate and usage

Safety Management Framework

Proactive Risk Mitigation

Before mobilization, every project is subjected to a detailed Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and a Permit to Work (PTW) system. These tools identify potential hazards—working at height, confined spaces, hot works—and prescribe controls ranging from scaffold inspections to fire-watch protocols.

Continuous Training and Certification

All field personnel complete mandatory HSE induction courses, specialized equipment training, and annual refresher sessions. Supervisors hold certifications in first aid, fire-watch supervision, and evacuation coordination, ensuring that on-site leadership is prepared for any contingency.

Incident Reporting and Feedback Loops

We maintain a no-blame culture for near-miss reporting. Each incident or near miss is logged, investigated, and addressed through corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Lessons learned are shared across projects, and our digital dashboard tracks leading safety indicators—such as toolbox talk frequency and PPE compliance rates.

Environmental Stewardship

Low-VOC and Eco-Friendly Coatings

Our fire-protection systems utilize low-VOC formulations, minimizing on-site air emissions and reducing environmental impact. We partner with global suppliers to source materials that meet Green Building Council criteria and can contribute to LEED certification where required.

Waste Reduction and Recycling

Cutting-edge spray technologies allow us to optimize material usage, reducing overspray by up to 20%. Spent abrasive media, old coatings, and packaging materials are segregated on site and processed through licensed recycling facilities—ensuring compliance with Saudi environmental regulations.

Performance Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Digital QA/QC Dashboard

Clients and project teams can access real-time dashboards that display test results, inspection statuses, and safety metrics. This transparency fosters trust and enables swift decision-making should adjustments be necessary.

Post-Project Reviews

After completion, each project undergoes a structured Lessons Learned Workshop involving engineers, safety officers, and client representatives. Outcomes feed directly into our corporate HSE and Quality manuals, ensuring that process improvements are institutionalized.
