Tekfen Construction has completed the mechanical work for the Sadara Propylene Oxide Process Unit in Jubail,

Saudi Arabia, and has handed it over to the Sadara Operation Group. A delivery ceremony was held at the plant

with the participation of our client, the project team and the senior management of Tekfen Construction.

Field Days 2016

Toros Tarım, the admiralship of Tekfen Agri-

Industry Group and sector leader in the manufac-

ture of fertilizers, saplings, and seeds, has once

again participated in the annual Field Days fair.

Organized jointly by the German Agricultural So-

ciety and the Önder Çiftçi (Pioneering Farmers)

Project, the Field Days 2016 was held at Aksu,

Antalya, between May 10 and 14. The fair spread

on an area of 386,000 square meters, where com-

panies exhibited their products and demonstrated

their services.

The Toros Tarım stand and demonstration

area were very popular among producers, deal-

ers, agricultural engineers and other representa-

tives of the industry. On its parcels designated to

showcase the various methods of fertilizer usage,

Toros Tarım clearly demonstrated to visitors the

significant difference in productivity and quality

resulting from the correct and balanced use of fer-

tilizers.

The Baku Olympic Stadium

cannot get enough accolades.

Tekfen Construction, the con-

tractor of the project, has so far

received awards by ENR and the

American Council of Engineer-

ing Companies; in 2016, the

company received “The Stadium

Contractor of the Year” award

in the World Stadium Congress

held in Doha, Qatar.

The World Stadium Con-

gress discusses the latest ad-

vances in stadium planning,

design, construction, as well as

business opportunities and up-

coming tenders. The Congress

also has an award program. The

jury evaluates and awards proj-

ects in the categories of “Stadi-

um Design of the Year”, “Archi-

tect of the Year”, “Rookie of the

Year”, “Innovative Solution of

the Year”, “Stadium Contractor

of the Year”, “Project Manager

of the Year” and “Environment-

Friendly Stadium of the Year.”

At the conference held in

Doha between May 16 and 19,

Tekfen Construction received

the “Stadium Contractor of

the Year” award for its excep-

tional performance with the

Baku Olympic Stadium. Levent

Kafkaslı, General Manager of

Tekfen Construction, and Cem

İlgün, Project Manager of the

Baku Olympic Stadium, attend-

ed the ceremony to receive the

award. We once again congratu-

late the project team, who have

made us proud not only with the

awards they have received but

also by completing the project in

a record-breaking period of 24

months and, more importantly,

with accident-free 21 million

man-hours.

Happy ending in the Sadara project

The Propylene Oxide Process Unit, which Tek-

fen Construction undertook as a turn-key project

in Saudi Arabia in 2012, is part of the Sadara Pet-

rochemical Complex built in the eastern region of

Jubail. A joint investment by ARAMCO and Dow

Chemical Company, the complex is Saudi Ara-

bia’s largest petrochemical project. The plant is

scheduled to be completed in 2016, and will be a

major addition to the total capacity of the petro-

chemical industry in Saudi Arabia.

Tekfen Construction has continued its work

for the last three years at the Propylene Oxide

Process Unit, which constitutes a key part of this

huge project, and has obtained the full satisfac-

tion of the client as well as having exceptional

success in accident-free work. Tekfen Construc-

tion was responsible for all the reinforced concrete

construction, structural steelwork, installation

of process equipment supplied by the employer,

electrical and instrumentation work, and the con-

struction of the main control center.

The certificate for the mechanical completion

of the plant was presented by our client during

the ceremony held at the plant and attended by

Tekfen’s senior management. Tekfen Construc-

tion thus handed over the successfully completed

project to Sadara Operation Group. We would like

to thank everyone involved in this difficult and

prestigious project, and wish them success in proj-

ects to come.
