Tekfen Construction continues its
streak of accident-free operation around the
world. The most recent example is Qatar,
where 18 million accident-free man-hours
with no workday loss have been completed
at the North Road Side Roads and Addition-
al Junctions Project.
This achievement represents the highest
accident-free score in Tekfen’s projects in
Qatar, and has been awarded by the Public
Works Authority (ASHGHAL) with a certifi-
cate. We congratulate all project members
who have contributed to this achievement
and wish them continued success.

their country and a bridge joining civiliza-
tions, and that despite regional difficulties,
he had great confidence Turkish contractors
will successfully fulfill their responsibilities
to enable Turkey reach its goals for 2023.

TURKEY IS SECOND IN WORLD
CONTRACTING SECTOR
The “Top 250 International Contractors
of the World” list is prepared annually based
on the business volume of contracting com-
panies outside their own countries. Tekfen
Construction was on the list again this year,
placing 118th among 250 international con-
tracting companies.
Turkey is one of the countries that stand
out with their successful performance on
the ENR list in recent years. In 2003, only
eight Turkish companies were on the list,
whereas there were 40 in 2016. After China,
Turkey is second among countries with
most contractors on the list in the last nine
years, once again maintaining its place at
the top this year.
