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.
