Led by a team with over 35 years of combined experience in civil execution and plant operations, Al Khuwair International Heavy Equipment L.L.C brings together professionals with extensive backgrounds in delivering major infrastructure and energy projects across Oman and the region.
At KIHE, we provide integrated civil solutions and plant - hire services tailored to the demands of Oman’s infrastructure, energy and construction sectors. Our expertise spans trenching, earthworks, duct bank construction, asphalt base preparation, slope protection and site mobilisation.
We operate at the intersection of technical precision and site performance, combining engineering discipline with the operational capacity to support high-pressure projects.
Our work isn’t just about moving earth, it’s about enabling progress with precision. No claims. Just delivery.
At the core of KIHE is a team shaped by operational experience and field-tested leadership.
From site engineers to heavy equipment operators, every member is selected for their technical competence, safety mindset and ability to perform under pressure.
Our workforce is PDO-approved and trained through certified - HSEQ programmes - ensuring
At the core of KIHE is a team shaped by operational experience and field-tested leadership.
From site engineers to heavy equipment operators, every member is selected for their technical competence, safety mindset and ability to perform under pressure.
Our workforce is PDO-approved and trained through certified - HSEQ programmes - ensuring every crew member meets the highest standards for health, safety, environmental awareness, and quality performance on site.
Our management team combines strategic oversight with practical knowledge, ensuring planning and execution stay aligned and delivery remains consistent under high-demand conditions.
What unites our team is a shared discipline — we don’t wait for perfect conditions. We adapt, plan, and deliver under pressure. Capability is earned on the ground and our people bring that principle to every project we undertake.
With PDO-approved crews and OPAL-certified equipment, we provide end-to-end field execution that meets the highest HSEQ and operational standards, across both new developments and live operational sites.
Our teams are equipped to perform under pressure while maintaining safety, compliance and efficiency from mobilisation to handover.

All works are executed with precision, compliance and site safety at the forefront.
KIHE provides certified plant and equipment rental solutions for civil, pipeline and infrastructure projects across Oman.
Our fleet includes excavators, backhoe loaders, compactors, screeners, mobile crushers and support vehicles — all operated by PDO-approved personnel and maintained in full compliance with OPAL standards.
Whether for short-term mobilisation or long-term deployment, our equipment and crews are prepared to operate in the most demanding environments, ensuring reliability, safety and performance on every site.
This phase involves precision welding of pipeline segments followed by safe placement into pre-excavated trenches. Using certified welding techniques, we ensure strong, leak-proof joints capable of withstanding operational pressures. Following inspection, the pipelines are carefully lowered with specialised lifting equipment to minimise structural stress and maintain precise alignment—ensuring long-term integrity and safety.
Hydrotesting or (Hydrostatic testing) is performed prior to commissioning or after repairs to verify structural integrity. Water is pressurised within the pipeline above normal operating levels to identify leaks or weaknesses and confirm compliance with safety and operational standards.
Cold cutting involves the removal or modification of pipeline sections using non-thermal, mechanical methods—eliminating any heat-affected zones (HAZ). This ensures precise cuts while maintaining material integrity, making it ideal for sensitive or hazardous environments.
This activity involves clearing the site of vegetation, debris and any existing structures to prepare for construction. Excavation follows, with earth carefully removed to create space for the foundation. The precast foundation elements are then precisely positioned and installed using crane assistance. Subsequently, backfilling secures the foundation and restores site stability, ensuring a solid base for further structural works.
We offer complete fusion and pulling services for HDPE pipe installations. Our self-contained fusion machines, operated by trained crews, deliver consistent, high-quality joints for continuous runs, directional changes or diameter transitions.
Pneumatic testing involves the use of compressed gas—usually nitrogen—to assess pipeline strength and leak resistance. Pulling refers to controlled tensioning during installation or testing to ensure system integrity and alignment.
The box-up stage marks the conclusion of construction, including backfilling trenches and restoring the site to its original condition. This final phase ensures secure pipeline placement and successful inspection sign-off.
Tie-ins connect new pipeline segments to existing systems. This involves engineering review, safety assurance, high-integrity welding, pressure testing and restoration. Our experienced teams perform tie-ins with precision, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining network integrity.
We provide end-to-end solutions for oil and petroleum pipeline projects—from engineering and route planning to construction, testing and corrosion prevention. Our work ensures safe, efficient transport of crude oil, refined products and gas through robust infrastructure built to the highest international standards.
Pipeline trenching is the process of excavating a trench in the ground to install or bury a pipeline, commonly used for water, gas or other utilities. It is a vital step in infrastructure projects, ensuring pipelines are correctly installed and adequately protected. Trenches are excavated to accommodate the pipe’s diameter and depth, providing sufficient cover and minimising damage during installation and operation, in accordance with industry standards.
Sleeper installation involves placing specially designed supports, known as sleepers, beneath pipelines to provide stability and protection. This is particularly important when pipelines traverse uneven terrain, road crossings or areas prone to mechanical stress and vibration. Sleepers help distribute the pipeline’s weight evenly, prevent excessive bending or sagging and protect the pipe coating from damage caused by direct contact with the ground or other surfaces. Proper sleeper installation ensures the structural integrity and longevity of the pipeline by minimising stress and potential failure points throughout its operational life.
Gabions and riprap are both effective erosion control methods, differing primarily in construction and application. Riprap consists of placing large rocks directly onto slopes, while gabions are wire mesh baskets filled with rocks, providing enhanced flexibility and design adaptability. Both techniques efficiently slow water flow and prevent soil erosion, contributing to long-term slope stability and environmental protection. Our experienced teams ensure the optimal implementation of these methods tailored to project needs.
