Introduction
The Saudi Industrial Property Authority issued

a guide of standards and requirements for
the construction of factories and supporting
services in industrial cities and decided to
accompany the guide with this guidance
manual which is a summary of the most
important requirements and procedures to
be followed with regard to the development
of factories and supporting services in
industrial cities.
It should be acknowledged that each of the

owner (investor), designer, supervisor and
contractor are committed to implement the
provisions of the initial guide, not dispensed
by the contents of this guidance manual.

Executive summary
The purpose of the elaboration of this

summary (investors summary) is to clarify the
main steps and essential aspects of work in the
industrial zones and cities as well as to provide
the investor with the important information
needed from the beginning, during the
execution of the project and up until its
completion. It also underlines the technical
aspects of the standards and requirements
for the construction of factories and the
development of supporting services, the
establishment of definitions and requirements
for the creation of factories in the industrial
cities, knowing that the summary does not go
into the technical and specialized details for
which it is needed to refer to the Standards
and requirements guide for the construction of
factories and supporting services in industrial
cities to have the complete technical and
detailed aspects required to implement
the work.

General factory site elements and principles to determine their location and relation to each other
27
2.1
2.1 General factory site elements and principles to determine their

location and relation to each other
The many elements of a factory can be
gathered in one building or distributed in
several buildings1 on the general factory site
as long as their specific planning conditions
are met. The general factory site includes
three main elements which are the buildings,
the circulation roads and the truck maneuver
zones, in addition to the points of entrance, exit
and control, parking areas and landscaping.
The general factory site buildings include
the manufacturing, production, warehousing,
research and laboratories, worker facilities,
administration and guards as well as the
supporting engineering services building.
The circulation roads and truck maneuver
areas within the site have to take into account
the loading of products and the unloading of
raw materials, the maneuvers of trucks, the
circulation of employees and workers cars, the
movement of pedestrians and their relation to
the entrances, exits and control points for the
general factory site.

by the Authority
To impose fines and penalties on infring-
