Explosion-Proof Equipment Supply & Installation What Is Explosion-Proof Equipment? Explosion-proof (Ex) equipment is electrical and electronic equipment specifically designed and certified to be safe for use in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours, mists, or combustible dusts are present. Rather than being immune to sparks, Ex equipment uses engineered protection concepts such as flameproof enclosures, increased safety, intrinsic safety, or pressurisation to prevent any internal fault from igniting the surrounding explosive atmosphere. Why ATEX and...
ATEX / IECEx Certification & Compliance ATEX and IECEx compliance is not optional in Qatar's Oil & Gas and petrochemical sector it is a regulatory, contractual, and safety requirement enforced by QatarEnergy, QCDD, QAFCO, and QAPCO across all electrical installations in hazardous areas. Bens Technologies provides comprehensive ATEX/IECEx compliance management in Qatar, supported by an in-house Ex Quality Representative (ExQAR) with the expertise to guide your organisation from initial gap assessment through to DNV or third-party...
Industrial Automation & Control Systems Industrial automation is the backbone of efficient, safe, and profitable operations across Qatar's Oil & Gas, LNG, petrochemical, and utilities sectors. Bens Technologies delivers turnkey PLC, SCADA, DCS, and HMI automation solutions, designed and implemented by Siemens-certified engineers with deep experience in Qatar's process industry requirements. From greenfield system design to brownfield DCS upgrades, our automation team manages the full project lifecycle from control philosophy development and hardware design through...
Electrical Panel Design & Manufacturing Bens Technologies designs and manufactures custom electrical panels for Qatar's Oil & Gas, petrochemical, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. Every panel is engineered from first principles from single-line diagram and schematic design through to factory assembly, testing, and full IEC-compliant documentation ensuring that what arrives on your project site is exactly what was specified, certified, and tested. Our range covers standard LV switchgear assemblies, Motor Control Centres (MCC), Power Distribution Boards...
Hazardous Area Inspection & Assessment Electrical equipment in Qatar's hazardous areas degrades over time due to extreme heat, humidity, UV radiation, dust, and vibration unique environmental stresses that accelerate deterioration. Equipment that was correctly installed may become non-compliant through physical damage, unauthorised modifications, or lack of routine maintenance. IEC 60079-17 requires all Ex electrical installations to undergo systematic initial and periodic inspection programmes. Bens Technologies provides fully documented, IEC 60079-17-compliant inspection programmes delivered by qualified...
Instrumentation & Control Engineering Accurate field instrumentation is the foundation of safe, compliant, and efficient process operations. Bens Technologies provides comprehensive instrumentation and control engineering services across Qatar's Oil & Gas, LNG, petrochemical, and utilities sectors from initial instrument selection and procurement through to loop testing, calibration, commissioning, and full I&C as-built documentation. Our instrumentation team has direct project experience with QatarEnergy, QAFCO, QAPCO, and major EPC contractors in Qatar, and is familiar with...
Earthing, Lightning Protection & Surge Protection Qatar's industrial infrastructure oil fields, LNG plants, storage tanks, communication towers, and substations is exposed to lightning risk during Qatar's storm season (November–April) and to earth fault hazards from high-capacity electrical systems year-round. A well-designed earthing, lightning protection, and surge protection system is both a safety requirement and an asset protection investment. Bens Technologies designs and installs integrated earthing, bonding, lightning protection, and surge protection systems for industrial clients across...
Cable Management & Tray Systems Reliable cable management is the physical backbone of every electrical installation routing, protecting, and supporting power, control, and instrumentation cables across the facility. In Qatar's harsh industrial environments, where extreme temperatures, UV radiation, sand abrasion, and chemical exposure are constant factors, the choice of cable management system material and installation method directly affects long-term reliability and maintenance costs. Bens Technologies supplies and installs the full range of cable management systems...
Fire & Gas Detection Systems Fire and gas (F&G) detection is a safety-critical system in every Qatar Oil & Gas, LNG, and petrochemical facility. A well-designed F&G system detects hazardous gas releases and fires at the earliest possible stage, activates appropriate alarms and automated safety responses, and saves lives and assets. Bens Technologies provides the full F&G project lifecycle from HAZOP-based detector layout design through to commissioning, cause and effect verification, and SCADA/DCS integration for...
Electrical Maintenance & Asset Management Unplanned electrical failures are costly production losses, safety incidents, and equipment damage can all stem from inadequate maintenance programmes. In Qatar's harsh operating environment, where 50°C+ ambient temperatures, dust, humidity, and corrosive atmospheres accelerate equipment deterioration, a proactive electrical maintenance strategy is essential to protect assets and operational continuity. Bens Technologies offers scheduled preventive maintenance, predictive testing, and emergency breakdown response for LV switchgear, MCCs, automation systems, and Ex electrical...
Solar & Off-Grid Power Systems Remote Oil & Gas locations across Qatar, Iraq, and the GCC often have no access to mains electrical power. Running diesel generators is expensive, unreliable in extreme heat, and requires frequent refuelling logistics that are impractical in remote desert or marshland environments. Solar off-grid power systems provide a cleaner, lower-maintenance, and highly cost-effective alternative delivering reliable 24VDC or 12VDC power to remote instruments, controllers, and monitoring equipment with minimal intervention....
Substation & HV/MV Electrical Works Medium and high voltage electrical infrastructure forms the foundation of Qatar's industrial power distribution. Whether it is an 11kV ring main unit (RMU) for a new industrial facility, a 33kV primary substation for a major OGP project, or a 6.6kV motor control system for a pump station at Ras Laffan, Bens Technologies provides supply, engineering support, and project management for MV and HV electrical systems across Qatar and the wider...
