OUR FOUNDERS

MEET THE VISIONARY LEADERS BEHIND FOUR DECADES OF SUCCESS

SAFEWAY General Contracting was built by two experienced engineers who recognized Abu Dhabi’s growing need for reliable industrial construction services. Starting in the early 1980s, our co-founders combined their complementary expertise – one specializing in heavy machinery installation and foundation work, the other focused on electrical systems and facility construction.

The Engineering Partnership

Our first founder brought extensive experience in machinery foundations and structural engineering. His background working with industrial equipment taught him that every foundation must be built to last, because replacing heavy machinery foundations costs companies thousands in downtime and repairs. This technical precision became the foundation of SAFEWAY’s reputation.

The second founder specialized in electrical and MEP systems, understanding the critical importance of TAQA compliance and proper power distribution in industrial facilities. His expertise in navigating UAE regulatory requirements and building relationships with approval authorities helped establish SAFEWAY as a trusted contractor for complex projects.

Four Decades of Shared Vision

Together, they built SAFEWAY on simple principles: deliver quality work on time, use proper materials and methods, and always stand behind what you build. Their combined experience spans oil and gas facilities, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and maintenance operations across Musaffah and Abu Dhabi.

They’ve developed a strong management team that carries forward their commitment to engineering excellence and customer service. The same attention to detail and problem-solving approach that built SAFEWAY’s reputation continues to guide every project we undertake.

Legacy of Excellence

What started as a small contracting partnership has grown into Abu Dhabi’s trusted name for industrial construction and maintenance. Our founders’ vision of providing complete contracting solutions – from foundations to electrical work to ongoing maintenance – remains central to everything SAFEWAY delivers today.

FROM VISION TO REALITY

What started as a small contracting operation in Musaffah in the early 1980s has grown into a trusted fit-out and maintenance partner for businesses across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. Over four decades we have delivered demanding projects, from industrial foundations and facilities to complete interiors. Today our own teams cover seven trades under one roof, and we have earned trust through consistent quality and professional service.

SEVEN TRADES UNDER ONE ROOF

Four decades in the UAE taught us that projects stall at the handovers between trades. Because Safeway GM runs every trade itself, we plan the sequence once and keep it moving. You get one programme, one invoice and one team to call when anything needs attention later.
