Secure power infrastructure for one of the world’s largest Islamic banks.
Project Overview
Al Rajhi Bank, a major force in Saudi Arabia’s financial sector, required a robust and uninterrupted power distribution system to support its growing operational footprint. IPU SA was contracted to supply, install, and test an integrated power system consisting of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS), Main Distribution Boards (MDBs), and a DC system — designed to support continuous banking operations and IT infrastructure.
