MEP maintenance and annual maintenance contracts in Aljada 

MEP maintenance and annual maintenance contracts in Aljada: local context

Aljada is a large master-planned community being built near University City and the Emirates Road, with mid-rise apartments, townhouses, retail and leisure in phases since the late 2010s. It is one of Sharjah's biggest new developments and remains under active construction. The development combines residential neighbourhoods with retail, leisure and community buildings, delivered in phases by a single master developer, so infrastructure, utilities and access routes evolve as each phase is completed and handed over.

• Approvals typically start with a master developer NOC before Sharjah Municipality, Civil Defence and SEWA submissions.
• Inland heat and dust demand derated air-cooled plant and protected intakes.
• Mid-rise buildings and townhouses typically use VRF or air-cooled chillers, with plant locations fixed by master plan guidelines on screening and noise.

Building types we serve in Aljada

For mid-rise residential and mixed-use buildings, the work concentrates on compact plant on the roof, car-park ventilation in podiums, metered apartment DBs and tight ceiling voids that make coordination drawings decisive.

Scope of work

• Asset survey at contract start, listing equipment, condition, missing documentation and immediate risks, so planned maintenance starts from a real baseline.
• Planned preventive maintenance schedules for chillers, AHUs, FCUs, split and VRF units, pumps, fans, tanks and electrical panels.
• Water tank cleaning and disinfection, with water quality sampling where required by the municipality, the client's policy or the building's water safety plan.
• Maintenance reporting with logs, findings, corrective actions and recommendations for repair, upgrade or replacement backed by recorded equipment data.

Systems we install

• Central chillers, cooling towers, chilled water pumps and water treatment dosing.
• LV panels, distribution boards, lighting circuits and outdoor electrical enclosures.

UAE site and climate challenges

• Drain pans and condensate lines clog with dust and biological growth in humid months, causing ceiling leaks. Regular cleaning and checks of traps and falls prevent water damage to finishes.
• Summer power demand and long compressor running hours expose weak contactors, capacitors and loose terminations, which show up as hot spots on thermal scans. We scan panels and outdoor unit isolators before June and replace degraded components before they fail at peak load.
• Resident technician versus visit-based contract: large facilities and palaces often justify on-site staff for immediate response, while villas and smaller buildings usually suit scheduled visits plus callouts.
