As a joint venture with Khansaheb Civil Engineering L.L.C., Khansaheb Sykes was created as a specialised dewatering contractor and pumping equipment supplier for building, construction and petrochemical operations together with water companies and local municipalities, we have been involved with dewatering of major infrastructure projects including Jebel Ali Port and Dubai Dry Docks.
Khansaheb Sykes employs over 150 personnel from its locations at Al Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the Western Region of the UAE. From our inception Khansaheb Sykes has grown into one of the most recognised dewatering companies located within the UAE and GCC countries. Our specialist knowledge in dewatering sets us apart from our competitors.
A subsidiary of Andrews Sykes Group, the UK’s biggest specialist hire company, our business is founded on the expertise and know-how of Sykes Pumps, which celebrated its 160th anniversary in 2017.
Our History (1857 - 2026)
Khansaheb Sykes was set up in 1976 following our involvement with Costain International on the Shindegah Tunnel Crossing of the Dubai Creek. As a joint venture with Khansaheb Civil Engineering L.L.C., Khansaheb Sykes was created as a specialised dewatering contractor and pumping equipment supplier for building, construction and petrochemical operations together with water companies and local municipalities, we have been involved with dewatering of major infrastructure projects including Jebel Ali Port and Dubai Dry Docks.
35 year old Henry Sykes came to London from Sheffield and established a small engineering business in Upper Thames Street. From his workshop, Henry Sykes was embarking on a journey that would see his company working on many of the Thames’ most high profile pumping schemes of the late 19th century.
The business transferred to the more prestigious location of 66 Bankside, Southwark, and began construction of the deep well pumps with which Sykes’ name was to become closely associated. Here he produced Portable Vertical Steam Engines, Portable Engines and Boilers, Friction Hoists and Pumps.
Founder Henry Sykes dies and his wife, Margaret Sykes, takes over the business.
Henry Sykes Jr, first son of Henry Sykes, takes control of the firm and introduces cousin Edmund Jackson into the business. For the next 40 years, Jackson contributed heavily to the business. Having a flair for mechanical design, Jackson would go on to design highly successful machines such as Pile-driving Winches, Contractors pumps, and the Tripulse - a three throw bucket pump.
The business transferred to the more prestigious location of 66 Bankside, Southwark, and began construction of the deep well pumps with which Sykes’ name was to become closely associated. Here he produced Portable Vertical Steam Engines, Portable Engines and Boilers, Friction Hoists and Pumps.
A premises, with river frontage and wharf, were required for the making of new substantial works into the business. The 66 Bankside premises became the headquarters from which all the business was conducted.
Henry Sykes Ltd created machinery that would see England win against their enemies in the war. They designed and built special rolling-friction winches which were used for a large number of ‘Kite Balloons’ in the war. This portable winding gear ensured we could observe the position of enemies' artillery and troop formations.
Henry Sykes Ltd bought 51 acres of land on the Greenwich marshes adjoining the Woolwich road at Charlton. Extensions and additions have been made from time to time to meet with the expanding business over the years.
Sykes plant helps to build the foundations of the site of Ford’s great motor works on the marshes in Dagenham, Essex. Sykes drove tens of thousands of reinforced concrete piles on which the whole of this world-famous factory was built.
Khansaheb Civil Engineering LLC was founded by Khansaheb Hussain bin Hassan Amad. A local family-owned Construction business based in Dubai but serving customers throughout the United Arab Emirates that will become our first local contractor in the UAE.
At the outbreak of the second world war, the company provided a large number of winches for the erection of steel masts at points on the East and South coasts. Unknown to Henry Sykes at the time, they were to become the Radar installations that contributed heavily to our country's survival.
Being based in London, Sykes were very much affected by the second world war as many of their men were called out for service, those who remained had to attend work 24 hours a day to protect the business in case of incendiary bomb attacks.
Sykes Pumps plays a crucial part in Operation Overload and D-Day. When the MOD pumps failed to raise the sunken caissons, Sykes’ Pumps were quickly collected and used. Without the pumps, the Mulberry Harbours would not have floated. The Mulberry Harbours was one of the greatest engineering accomplishments of the second world war.
In 1957, Sykes Pumps reached their one hundred year anniversary of continuous operation. In celebration of this milestone the company produced a centenary brochure, describing the evolution of Andrews Sykes into the UK’s leading hire specialist. To take a look at our publication click here: https://www.khansahebsykes.com/centenery-brochure.pdf
Henry Sykes reconstructs a new modern design facility in the Southwark offices. The company introduces its latest major development, the ‘Univac’ pump. This pump was evolved by adapting the priming arrangements used in the De-watering pump to Unchokeable pumps. This pump achieved great success and many pumping problems previously considered as verging on the impossible are now satisfactorily dealt with.
Many of the units manufactured in the 1960s are still in working order today – one of which being Nessie - a Sykes portable steam engine which was used during World War I
Sykes Pumps revolutionises pumping by introducing a fleet of self priming pumps called Univac. These pumps work as portable driven diesel pumps and overcome the toughest and most technically difficult applications in any industry.
Sykes Pumps takes business to Middle East for the first time merging with Khansaheb Civil Engineering L.L.C to become Khansaheb Sykes. A depot is opened in the United Arab Emirates in Sharjah. The lower ground water table of the country proves ideal for Sykes Pumps as they have the best experts in the country specialising in dewatering solutions.
In the same year, Oasis Sykes opened in Saudi Arabia and Dubai. Specialising in dewatering, Oasis Sykes is today known as Sykes Dewatering whilst the depot in Dubai is known as Khansaheb Sykes Dewatering.
Being one of the only companies to bring submersible pumps into the pumping industry, they proved to be a hit. Ideal for dewatering at all kind of sites, the Submersible pump changed the way pumping worked forever. Growing from strength to strength, Submersible pumps now have their own division within the business called ‘Sykes Submersibles’.
Sykes Pumps flourishes in the Emirates and another depot is opened in Abu Dhabi. This depot is dedicated to dewatering contracts in the city.

Khansaheb Sykes commenced work on the landmark Mall of the Emirates development. As part of the early-stage enabling works, specialist groundwork and dewatering support were undertaken to manage groundwater levels and prepare the site for large-scale structural construction.
Being pioneers in the pumping industry, Sykes Pumps introduces a revolutionary range of pumps called the super silenced pumps. Technically excellent, these pumps are powerful and have been developed with a clear focus on environmental issues such as sound reduction, the eradication of fuel spillage and fuel economy.

The works involved the design, installation and operation of a deep well dewatering system to control groundwater levels and maintain dry, stable excavation conditions across the site. Operating within a coastal environment with challenging ground conditions, the scheme demonstrated the company’s capability to manage large-scale, technically demanding dewatering projects for critical utility facilities.
Out team of dedicated engineers supplied specialist dewatering pumps to a customer in the Philippines, supporting infrastructure and water management requirements overseas. The project involved the provision of high-performance Sykes pumping equipment tailored to local operating conditions, demonstrating the adaptability and export capability of the company’s fleet.
Sykes Pumps introduce a new concept in emergency pumping by unveiling our revolutionary Rapid Response unit. The main feature of our latest innovation is its lightweight frame which allows it to be legally towed by vans and other medium sized vehicles. Although small and compact in size, the pumps deliver users huge performance that facilitates the pumping of up to 130,000 litres per hour
This year is a landmark year for the company as Sykes Pumps celebrate their 160th anniversary of continuous operation. Many things have changed since the business was founded 160 years ago, but an unwavering commitment to providing high levels of service and optimum pumping solutions remains a constant feature of their day-to-day operations.
Khansaheb Sykes supplied specialist dewatering pumps to support humanitarian and development initiatives in Yemen through a partnership with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). The equipment was deployed to help restore and maintain critical water and sanitation infrastructure in areas affected by conflict, ensuring reliable groundwater control and improved access to essential services.
We delivered one of its largest dewatering operations in the region, deploying nearly 100 pumps to support a time-critical port inlet excavation project in Abu Dhabi. The scheme was initially mobilised with 60 units, with a further 30 pumps rapidly installed as project demands increased, ensuring uninterrupted groundwater control and programme continuity.
Khansaheb Syke introduced the Hydraset range, an advanced pumping system engineered for high-head and long-distance water transfer applications. Designed to improve operational efficiency, the Hydraset system combines a hydraulic submersible pump with a surface-mounted power pack, enabling suction lifts beyond conventional limits while reducing fuel consumption and overall running costs.
Khansaheb Sykes provided specialist flushing support for a District Cooling Plant on Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, facilitating the commissioning of a chilled water network. High-capacity pumping equipment was deployed to deliver controlled, high-volume water circulation, ensuring effective removal of debris and contaminants prior to system handover.
Abu Dhabi operations were successfully relaunched with the opening of a new dedicated pump and HVAC facility in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi. This development marked an important step in strengthening the company’s regional presence, providing enhanced capabilities and improved support for customers across the area. The modern facility enables more efficient operations, expanded equipment availability, and a stronger platform for future growth in the Middle East.
As part of the same group as Khansaheb Sykes, no other provider in Saudi Arabia can draw upon as much Middle Eastern expertise for professional services in deep well dewatering and groundwater control. With almost 40 years local experience in this field, we offer reliable and professional services to our customers in Saudi Arabia.
Khansaheb Sykes successfully carried out precision hydrotesting works for a major sewage treatment plant in Dubai, supporting the commissioning of large digester tanks. The project required the controlled filling and monitoring of tanks at significant elevation, utilising high-capacity pumping systems to ensure accurate water level management and structural integrity testing. Delivered under strict technical and safety parameters, the works highlighted the company’s expertise in complex pumping applications within critical wastewater infrastructure.
Sykes Pumps International is launched, marking a significant step in the company’s continued global expansion. The establishment of a dedicated manufacturing and assembly facility enables Sykes to increase production capacity and further strengthen its ability to support international markets.
