CICPA approval is a hard gate for ADNOC and Abu Dhabi restricted-zone projects. Learn what clients should check before shortlisting a contractor.

Novoclad is CICPA-approved and ADNOC-registered. We are a trusted vendor providing insulation and cladding services for industrial and critical infrastructure projects across the UAE. Our project teams are ready for mobilisation in CICPA-controlled zones, helping clients reduce access delays and keep project schedules moving.
For ADNOC facilities and other Abu Dhabi restricted-zone projects, choosing an approved and experienced contractor is critical. The contractor must understand site access requirements, safety expectations, work permits, technical submissions, inspection requirements and client documentation procedures. Novoclad supports EPC contractors, main contractors and plant owners with reliable insulation solutions from technical review to final handover.
CICPA Approval Is Not Just a Formality
On critical infrastructure projects, CICPA approval is a practical project requirement. Without the right access readiness, even a technically capable contractor can face mobilisation delays. For insulation and cladding works, this can directly affect shutdown schedules, construction sequencing, hydrotest reinstatement, mechanical completion and final handover.
Novoclad's CICPA approval and ADNOC registration give clients confidence that our team understands the compliance environment required for Abu Dhabi oil & gas and industrial projects.
Specialist Insulation and Cladding Services
Novoclad specialises in industrial insulation and protective cladding systems. Our scope covers hot insulation, cold insulation, cryogenic insulation, acoustic insulation, personnel protection insulation, pipe insulation, tank insulation, vessel insulation, equipment insulation, aluminium cladding and stainless steel cladding.
Our focused expertise allows us to deliver technically compliant, durable and cost-effective insulation systems that improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, prevent condensation, protect personnel and extend the service life of industrial assets.
Why Clients Choose Novoclad for ADNOC and CICPA Projects
Industrial projects inside ADNOC facilities and critical infrastructure zones demand more than labour availability. They require an insulation contractor with proven technical knowledge, proper approvals, qualified site supervision, strong HSE culture and the ability to work under strict documentation and inspection requirements.
Novoclad supports projects from initial enquiry through material selection, method statement preparation, manpower planning, site mobilisation, fabrication, installation, inspection and project close-out. We coordinate with client teams to ensure insulation and cladding works are completed safely, professionally and in line with project specifications.

Mobilisation Planning Matters
For ADNOC, refinery, LNG, offshore, marine, power plant and industrial jobs, mobilisation is often one of the most important parts of execution. Late mobilisation can affect construction progress, shutdown windows and client milestones. Novoclad plans manpower, tools, materials, supervision and site documentation carefully so that work can start efficiently after project confirmation and site access approval.
Our project teams are experienced in working in controlled industrial environments where safety, quality and coordination are essential. This helps clients minimise delays and maintain smooth execution during critical project phases.
Questions to Ask Before Shortlisting an Insulation Contractor
Before awarding insulation or cladding works in a CICPA-controlled zone, clients should confirm whether the contractor is suitable for both the technical scope and the access requirements. Selecting a non-ready contractor can create unnecessary delays, rework, additional coordination and schedule pressure.
- Is the company CICPA-approved and ADNOC-registered?
- Does the contractor specialise in insulation and cladding works?
- Can the contractor mobilise experienced project teams quickly?
