Kilometers of MV and HV cable have been protected in the cable and access tunnels below the Great Mosque with up to 40,000 litres of CharCoat CC Cable Coating protecting the cable system. In applying the CharCoat CC, these cables are now protected from any flame spread while protecting the ampacity and fireproofing the cables for 90 minutes under IEC 60331-11 and IEC 60331-21.

The Charcoat CC Cable Coating works are being completed by Tayyib Al-Hayah Commercial Co. located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
