Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
From structural frames and pipe racks to ASME-coded vessels, we fabricate, coat and erect heavy steel for the plants, refineries and facilities that power Saudi Arabia.

Who We Are
2009 Fabricating in the Kingdom since
Founded in Dammam in 2009, Gulf Waves Energy has grown into a full-scope steel fabrication contractor serving the Eastern Province and projects across the Kingdom.
We run our own engineering, fabrication, blasting, painting and QA/QC under one roof — which means fewer interfaces, tighter tolerances and schedules we can actually commit to. Our teams are equally at home producing thousands of tonnes of structural steel for an industrial city as they are fabricating a single coded pressure vessel to a client’s specification.

What We Do
One contractor from detailing through to erection — so responsibility for fit, finish and schedule never gets divided.
Beams, columns, trusses and bracing fabricated from your drawings or ours, to AWS D1.1 and your project specification.
ASME VIII Division 1 vessels, columns, separators and shell-and-tube exchangers built under our U-Stamp authorisation.
Shop-fabricated pipe spools, supports and complete pipe rack modules for process plants, utilities and tank farms.
API 650 and API 620 above-ground storage tanks, fabricated in plate and erected on site by our own crews.
Warehouses, workshops and industrial sheds — designed, fabricated, clad and erected as a single turnkey package.
Enclosed blasting and painting hall with controlled conditions, SSPC/NACE surface preparation and full coating records.
Our Facility
Our Dammam facility runs CNC plate processing, automated beam lines, submerged-arc welding and a dedicated blasting and painting hall — with overhead cranes sized for single lifts up to 50 tonnes.
How We Work
Every project runs through the same five controlled stages, each with its own hold points and sign-off.
We review your drawings and specifications, raise technical queries early, and return a priced, itemised proposal with a realistic schedule.
Our detailers model the work in Tekla and issue shop drawings for your approval before a single plate is cut.
Material is ordered against approved mill certificates, uniquely marked and tracked through every stage of production.
Cutting, fit-up, welding, NDT, blasting and painting — each with documented inspection and test plan hold points.
We load, transport and erect on site with our own crews and rigging, then hand over a complete dossier of as-built records.

Why Gulf Waves
Capacity is planned before we commit. When we give a delivery date, it is one our shop loading can actually absorb.
Engineering, fabrication, coating and erection sit under one contract — no gaps between trades for problems to hide in.
Every weld, coat and dimension is recorded. You receive a complete data book, not a verbal assurance.
Our welders hold current ASME IX and AWS D1.1 qualifications, re-tested on the procedures your job actually uses.
A local workforce, local supply chain and a growing Saudi national headcount — supporting your in-Kingdom value targets.
ISO 45001 systems, daily toolbox talks and an incident record we are happy to put in front of any client audit.
Sectors
The specifications differ, the discipline does not.

Common Questions
Share a scope, a specification or a rough idea — our estimating team will come back with a realistic price and a schedule we can stand behind.
Contact UsWe handle packages from a few tonnes of miscellaneous steel up to multi-thousand-tonne structural contracts. There is no minimum — but for very small items we will tell you honestly if a local jobbing shop would serve you better.
For a defined scope with drawings, expect a priced proposal within three to five working days. Budget estimates for early-stage enquiries usually come back within 48 hours.
Yes. We hold approvals relevant to structural steel and fabricated equipment, and we work regularly to Aramco engineering standards and inspection requirements.
Both. We maintain our own erection crews, rigging and supervision, and can take a package from shop drawing through to installed and signed off.
Yes — and we will review them properly first. Where we spot a constructability or fit-up issue, you will hear about it during estimation rather than during fabrication.
We are based in Dammam and work throughout the Eastern Province, with delivered and erected projects in Jubail, Yanbu, Riyadh, Jeddah, Rabigh and the northwest.
