Kharafi National is based in Kuwait, with its headquarters in Al-Rai Industrial area. Kharafi National’s supporting and fabrication facilities located in Shuaiba Industrial Zone, Mina Abdullah Industrial area and Sulaibiya cover more than 600,000sq mtrs.

Kharafi National has been active in the United Arab Emirates since 1995 when Kharafi National – Dubai was founded. Kharafi National– Abu Dhabi was established a year later. Both companies operate as stand-alone entities and are highly regarded in the UAE for their skills in building services, engineering, procurement and construction management, environmental and infrastructure, and facilities management.
Kharafi National quickly established its reputation in the UAE as a specialized high-end MEP contractor with the execution of several key projects. In 2000, the company entered the district cooling sector and is now a repeat contractor with Dubai Civil Aviation as well as with local developers such as Al Qudra.
As the region develops, Kharafi National expects the need for enhanced infrastructure to increase tremendously, providing very challenging opportunities in BOT, BOO and PPP projects where the company can distinguish itself through higher efficiency and the implementation of advanced technologies in partnership with international technology providers.
Kharafi National is currently undertaking the EPC work of a BOT project awarded in 2007 by Abu Dhabi Municipality to Emirates Company Holding (EUCH) in which the Kharafi Group detains 40% of the shares, for the management and disposal of municipal solid waste in the Greater Abu Dhabi Region and the Western Region and, once the system is operational, Kharafi National will be operating and maintaining the facilities for the duration of EUCH’s 10-year concession. The EUCH consortium was also awarded, in February 2008, the ADWEA Sewerage Treatment BOOT project in Abu Dhabi which comprises the development, design, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, financing, constructing, ownership, operation and maintenance of two sewerage treatment plants, the Wathba plant and the Saad Plant for a period of 25 years.
