Saudi Binladin Group SAUDI BINLADIN GROUP The origins of the Saudi Binladin Group (SBG) date back to the formation of the Mohammad Binladin Organization by the late Sheikh Mohammad Awad Binladin in 1931. This company was established as a general contracting company around the time of the formation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and has taken its part in the major infrastructure developments such as roads, bridges, airports, tunnels, housing, hotels, hospitals, universities, power plants and desalination plants that have transformed that country. The newly titled Saudi Binladin Group was formed when it was recognised that the scope of works being undertaken by the original company had outgrown its management structure thus the company was reformed into a total of ten autonomous operating divisions each capable of carrying out projects in their own right or co-ordinating with other divisions to bid for the truly major projects which have become the hallmark of the Saudi Binladin Group. The operation of these divisions is overseen by a corporate structure based in the group headquarters in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The newly structured group has seen turnover grow from some One Billion One Hundred and Twenty Five Million Saudi Page 1 Riyals (US Dollars 300,000,000) in 1985 through a peak of Seven Billion Five Hundred Million Saudi Riyals (US Dollars 2,000,000,000) in 1992, the current (2004) turnover of some Four Billion Three Hundred and Three Million Saudi Riyals (US Dollars 1,147,467,000). Consummate with this has been the rise in the total number of employees which reached to over forty eight thousand at its peak while currently standing at some forty thousand, of which over two thousand one hundred are professionally qualified engineers enabling the Group not only to undertake the normal contracting activities but to offer potential clients a design and build option by using the most advanced management, engineering and procurement system. The total quality approach to its projects has seen the Saudi Binladin Group gain ISO 9001:1994, ISO 9002/EN ISO 9002/ANSI/ASQC Q9002 and ISO 9002:1994 certification. Of the many prestigious projects completed by the Group the most notable was the extension of the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Madinah on behalf of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz Al Saud in which Saudi Binladin Group was able to utilise its design and build capability to its fullest extent in using innovative solutions to provide an air- conditioned environment for the pilgrims at Madinah and at both locations to install the highest quality finishes such as marbles, granites and other decorative finishes from its own factories. Page 2 The latter operation where material is taken from SBG’s own production facilities shown a broadening of the normal main contractor’s approach where the SBG has established its own factories for the production of marble and granite, artificial stone, metal art work, gypsum and glass reinforced concrete, joinery, drapery and conventional precast concrete. This means that SBG can meet the extremely tight timescales dictated by our clients and at the same time feel comfortable about the quality of product supplied. Where SBG needs to go outside the group for materials, a network of procurement offices has been established either through local offices, subsidiary or affiliated companies to enable a world wide search for the particular materials and systems specified for each project. Similarly, materials when procured from outside sources are delivered by a network of integrated freight forwarding and transport companies to ensure the least possible delays in the delivery process. The whole of the procurement / delivery procedures is co- ordinated through the main offices in Jeddah, K.S.A. Speed and quality of construction depends not only on the availability of a pool of skilled human resources but also on access to construction plant and equipment totaling some four thousand eight hundred major pieces of wholly owned fleet deployed throughout the Group’s current projects both in the kingdom and internationally in countries such as Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Yemen and Malaysia where Page 3 Saudi Binladin is involved in the construction of major international projects. Availability of these resources has allowed a significant diversification of projects to be undertaken in the Group’s home market of the Middle East where our current order book contains projects ranging from the Operation and Maintenance of eight airports, petroleum and petrochemical industry, Development of King Abdul Aziz Endowment Project (Abraj Al Bait) with a value of Ten Billion & Three Hundred Million Saudi Riyals (US Dollars 2,746,667,000), Development of Jamarat Bridges & Surrounding Areas with a value of Four Billion Two Hundred Million Saudi Riyals, administration Buildings project for MOI with a value of SR Seven Billion and twenty One Million Saudi Riyals, major extensions to existing power generation plants, the construction of major hotels in Makkah and Madinah, touristic projects in Jeddah, Universities in Makkah and Sharjah, Airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Sudan, and Egypt, to the infrastructure works such as roads and bridges which formed the basis on which the original company was founded, as well as construction work for gas and oil pipeline and petroleum petrochemical projects.

  • The Destruction of Religious and Cultural Sites I. Introduction The
    Mapping the Saudi State, Chapter 7: The Destruction of Religious and Cultural Sites I. Introduction The Ministry for Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Da’wah, and Guidance, commonly abbreviated to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs (MOIA), supervises and regulates religious activity in Saudi Arabia. Whereas the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV) directly enforces religious law, as seen in Mapping the Saudi State, Chapter 1,1 the MOIA is responsible for the administration of broader religious services. According to the MOIA, its primary duties include overseeing the coordination of Islamic societies and organizations, the appointment of clergy, and the maintenance and construction of mosques.2 Yet, despite its official mission to “preserve Islamic values” and protect mosques “in a manner that fits their sacred status,”3 the MOIA is complicit in a longstanding government campaign against the peninsula’s traditional heritage – Islamic or otherwise. Since 1925, the Al Saud family has overseen the destruction of tombs, mosques, and historical artifacts in Jeddah, Medina, Mecca, al-Khobar, Awamiyah, and Jabal al-Uhud. According to the Islamic Heritage Research Foundation, between just 1985 and 2014 – through the MOIA’s founding in 1993 –the government demolished 98% of the religious and historical sites located in Saudi Arabia.4 The MOIA’s seemingly contradictory role in the destruction of Islamic holy places, commentators suggest, is actually the byproduct of an equally incongruous alliance between the forces of Wahhabism and commercialism.5 Compelled to acknowledge larger demographic and economic trends in Saudi Arabia – rapid population growth, increased urbanization, and declining oil revenues chief among them6 – the government has increasingly worked to satisfy both the Wahhabi religious establishment and the kingdom’s financial elite.

  • Ideology Outweighs Diplomacy in Iran's Hajj Decision | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 2853 Ideology Outweighs Diplomacy in Iran's Hajj Decision by Mehdi Khalaji Aug 28, 2017 Also available in Arabic / Farsi ABOUT THE AUTHORS Mehdi Khalaji Mehdi Khalaji, a Qom-trained Shiite theologian, is the Libitzky Family Fellow at The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis For Islamic Republic leaders, the benefits of allowing the pilgrimage to proceed transcended the risks of appearing soft in their confrontation with the Saudis. n the evening of September 5, more than 86,000 Iranian pilgrims will complete the Hajj ritual, following O Saudi measures to once again issue visas to Iranians after a one-year suspension. The move also follows Iranian gestures in July to resume diplomatic ties with Riyadh, more than a year after Iranian protestors attacked the Saudi embassy in Tehran. Additional sources of friction between the Islamic Republic and the Saudi kingdom include the September 2015 stampede that killed hundreds of Iranian pilgrims in the Mina section of Mecca -- prompting remarkably inflammatory rhetoric from Tehran -- as well as directly opposing stances on the wars in Syria and Yemen. The Saudis and their Sunni peers, for their part, view the Iranian quest for regional hegemony with great unease. Notwithstanding these tensions, the Supreme Leader's representatives negotiated assiduously with Saudi officials to reopen the path for Iranian pilgrims, demonstrating the strategic importance of the Hajj for Iranian officials, despite the significant concession it represented for regime hardliners. Background P rior to this year's turnabout, Iranians had reasons to doubt they would be going on pilgrimage any time soon. This was the case given provocative anti-Saudi statements and an aggressive regional policy -- both emanating from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei -- as well as warming U.S.

  • 2019 Overview
    2019 Overview Since its founding in 1981, the Middle East Policy Council (MEPC) has dedicated its programs and publications to improving American understanding of the politics and societies of the Arab world and the broader Middle East, and to promoting thoughtful discussion and debate about American interests and U.S. policies in the region. The Council has a strong reputation for supporting balanced, unbiased and intellectually rigorous discussion and analysis of the Middle East and of U.S. national interests there, and for promoting mutual understanding and partnership to strengthen U.S. relations with the peoples and countries in the region. Due to the wide distribution of our educational materials, and the broad media coverage of our programs, the Council’s impact is particularly strong beyond the Washington, DC, community and in the region. In 2019 MEPC achieved several new milestones in its core programs, special events, and outreach efforts. The Council’s quarterly Capitol Hill Conferences, quarterly journal Middle East Policy, TeachMideast program for students and educators, media engagement, and digital platforms all reached new heights in 2019. Following is an overview of MEPC’s 2019 activities and achievements. Capitol Hill Conferences The Council is unique in having a several-decades-long history of convening conferences dealing with the Middle East on Capitol Hill. These programs foster engagement with members of Congress and their staffs as well as executive-branch officials, opinion leaders, journalists, academics, diplomats, and members of the business community. Our four 2019 Capitol Hill Conferences – our 95th, 96th, 97th, and 98th such events – took place in the Russell Senate Office Building on January 16th, April 12th, July 19th, and October 25th.
