About Kharafi National

Kharafi National is an Operational Investor undertaking investment, design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and facilities management services as well as a leading multi-discipline general contractor and facilities management services provider to the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Power, Water, Wastewater Commercial and Industrial sectors in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

The success of build-operate-transfer (BOT), build-operate-own (BOO) and public-private partnership (PPP) approaches has turned the traditional contractor’s role from a service provider to a business partner in the operation of an enterprise.

At Kharafi National, we strongly believe in the value of co-operation and in developing strategic partnerships with leading technology providers across the globe in order to deliver value-added services to our clients in each discipline and industry in which we are active.

This enables our clients to have access to global technology coupled with local service competence and enhanced response times, satisfying their needs for quality services and ultimately contributing to the overall performance, availability and efficiency of their plants.

Kharafi National is a preferred regional general contractor involved in several major construction projects, providing a complete range of construction services for heavy industrial plants in various sectors.

Kharafi National Facilities Management (FM) Operations provide customized solutions that meet both the regular and the special needs of each client and take fiduciary responsibility for protecting and prolonging the lifespan of their major capital investments.

We believe that every facility is unique and we treat each one with individual care and attention.

Our systems and procedures not only improve on standard practice but achieve best results thanks to innovation systems and pioneering solutions that fit our customers’ requirements and exceed their expectations.

Our FM Operations integrate all the functions needed to support the daily operations of a facility and provide a one-stop source for quality design, operation and maintenance by offering a truly comprehensive range of Transformational Facilities Management services and recommendations to improve both productivity and risk management – right from the inception of a project.
