Saned reports 21% growth in ‘Aman' installation requests H1 2025
Eng. Hamid Al Zarouni, Managing Director of Saned Facilities Management, stated: "At Saned, we have been working for years to develop a smart and fully integrated early warning system, built on the latest international technologies for detecting fires and emergencies and responding to them in real time. Through the 'Aman' system, we aim to redefine the concept of safety in buildings and vital facilities, making it a core component of the preventive infrastructure across all entities and facilities subject to the decision mandating the installation and integration of Aman to protect buildings from fires and incidents in the Emirate of Sharjah. This aligns with the Emirate's vision of becoming safer and more sustainable." Al Zarouni added:"Saned's teams continue to enhance the smart protocols that underpin the Aman system, working to expand its scope by integrating advanced sensing technologies and data analysis tools. This will further strengthen our ability to predict risks and respond swiftly. In parallel, we are testing and certifying the latest devices in compliance with international standards, to ensure the highest levels of efficiency and safety for all facilities connected to the system." The growing demand for the installation of the Aman system is the result of a joint effort between Saned, the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority, and Sharjah Civil Defence. This collaboration aims to promote a stronger culture of safety and prevention across the Emirate. As a result, the total number of facilities connected to the Aman system has reached 11,620. The Aman system links fire alarm systems in facilities directly to the operations room of the General Directorate of Civil Defence and the Aman control centre. This ensures immediate alerts in the event of a fire, enabling rapid response. Aman is powered by advanced technology that detects the exact location of a fire and notifies the relevant emergency teams without delay. It is worth noting that Saned Integrated Facilities Management is a subsidiary of Sharjah Asset Management, the investment arm of the Government of Sharjah.

'Prevention and Safety' targets forty high-rise buildings
Campaign targets 40 towers The campaign targets 40 towers in the Emirate that are taller than 23 metres, with the goal of raising awareness about the newly issued High-Rise Building Safety Guide. The announcement was delivered at the Holy Quran Academy in Sharjah. In an exclusive statement to 'Sharjah 24,' Dr Al Quraidi noted that the guidance is intended for buildings taller than 23 metres, as such projects require specialised safety procedures that adhere to the highest international standards. The document specifies precise requirements for evacuation plans, fire prevention systems, and preventative maintenance routines, all of which are intended to protect lives and property. To improve the safety of people in high-rise buildings She went on to say that the major goal is to improve the safety of people in high-rise buildings and their general quality of life. Dr Al Quraidi stated that the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority will continue to monitor the towers' compliance with the requirements in collaboration with Sharjah Civil Defence Authority and SANED. This initiative contributes to the creation of a safe and sustainable living environment in Sharjah.

AI Fire Detection System Introduced Across Sharjah's Buildings
The new initiative will use AI to monitor commercial and residential buildings 24/7 and reduce fire-related risks. Apr 10, 2025 An advanced fire prevention system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is being rolled out across Sharjah, aiming to monitor and detect fire hazards in buildings across the emirate. The initiative, launched by the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority, will use AI to provide 24-hour surveillance and early fire detection in both commercial and residential structures. The smart fire detection system is designed to analyse building conditions in real time and issue alerts at the first sign of danger. This shift toward AI-driven safety reflects the emirate's move from reactive fire response to proactive fire prevention. The technology will be integrated into building infrastructure, reducing the risk of fire-related casualties and damage while ensuring faster emergency response. This development is part of a broader directive by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, to adopt international best practices in safety and smart infrastructure. Authorities say the system will strengthen Sharjah's emergency readiness and enhance overall safety levels across its urban and suburban areas.
