Ready to Mobilize: EPS Contracting in Action
In Saudi Arabia’s era of giga-projects, contractors are no longer judged only on price or technical capability—they are judged on their ability to mobilize. Vision 2030 has accelerated the pace of development, pushing forward projects in energy, petrochemicals, infrastructure, and smart cities.
Against this backdrop, EPS Contracting Division stands out by delivering not just plans, but boots on the ground, ensuring projects meet strict deadlines, align with Aramco standards, and drive forward IKTVA implementation.
The New Reality of Industrial Execution in KSA
Saudi Arabia’s 2025 budget allocates SAR 1.285 trillion ($342 billion) in spending to fast-track giga-projects, with a focus on diversifying the economy through infrastructure, renewable energy, and industrial expansion.
At the same time, Aramco continues to invest heavily, with planned capital expenditures surpassing $55 billion annually, ensuring oil, gas, and petrochemical projects remain core drivers of growth.
This wave of investment creates unprecedented demand for contractors who can mobilize at scale—deploying manpower, equipment, and temporary facilities quickly and in compliance with Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards (SAES).
For companies like EPS, mobilization has become the strategic differentiator in winning and retaining contracts.
EPS Contracting Division: Mobilization in Practice
EPS Contracting has developed a mobilization framework designed for speed, compliance, and localization.
1. Site Readiness from Day One
Rapid deployment of temporary facilities including camps, offices, utilities, and storage.
Pre-positioned logistics hubs across the Eastern Province ensure equipment and materials are on site without delay.
2. Compliance with Aramco Standards
Every mobilization aligns with Aramco’s rigorous specifications, from scaffolding systems to safety equipment.
Regular training and certifications ensure that teams meet evolving HSE and QA/QC requirements.
3. IKTVA Implementation in Action
EPS actively recruits Saudi nationals across skilled trades, engineering, and site management.
Partnerships with local SMEs ensure a large portion of procurement—steel, fasteners, scaffolding, and consumables—remains in-Kingdom.
These measures directly contribute to the IKTVA goal of 70% local content by 2025.
4. Industrial Execution at Scale
EPS has successfully mobilized over 300 technicians within 14 days for Aramco shutdowns.
Integrated multi-discipline services (civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation) reduce fragmentation and deliver holistic site readiness.
Why Mobilization Capability Matters
Mobilization is not just logistics—it is the foundation of project success.
Time-to-Execution: According to MEED, delays in mobilization account for up to 18% of GCC project cost overruns. Contractors that can mobilize efficiently mitigate this risk.
Compliance & Safety: Pre-certified teams and standardized equipment reduce incidents, penalties, and rework.
Localization & Reputation: IKTVA-driven mobilization demonstrates long-term commitment to Vision 2030, strengthening contractor reputation and competitiveness.
Sustainability: By sourcing locally and shortening supply chains, mobilization reduces emissions and supports the Kingdom’s green transition targets.
The Numbers Behind the Strategy
Saudi Arabia’s $3 trillion+ project pipeline (NEOM, The Line, Qiddiya, Diriyah Gate, and Aramco expansions) requires the mobilization of tens of thousands of workers annually.
Aramco’s IKTVA program achieved 63% local content in 2024, with 70% targeted by 2025—placing pressure on contractors to localize both supply chains and workforce strategies.
Infrastructure demand is projected to create over 1 million new construction and contracting jobs by 2030, according to Saudi Ministry of Economy forecasts.
EPS Support: Turning Localization into Action
EPS Contracting Division’s edge lies in its execution-driven culture:
Boots on the ground, not just plans on paper.
Localization integrated into every mobilization plan.
Seamless compliance with Aramco and global standards.
Sustainable, resilient practices that align with the Kingdom’s long-term goals.
EPS doesn’t just respond to tenders—it mobilizes with readiness, speed, and a clear commitment to Vision 2030’s industrial transformation.
Conclusion
As Saudi Arabia continues to push forward giga-projects and industrial expansions, mobilization has emerged as the critical benchmark of contracting excellence.
With compliance to Aramco standards, alignment to IKTVA objectives, and proven experience in rapid deployment, EPS Contracting Division demonstrates how localization can be more than a policy—it can be boots on the ground that deliver real value.
In the race to build the Kingdom’s future, mobilization is the true measure of readiness—and EPS is already leading the way.
