Toros Agri decided to address one of the
longstanding problems of Turkey – the
seasonal workers. Toros began supporting
the “Health Care Program for Seasonal
Agricultural
Workers
and Their
Families”
carried out
by Harran
University
and the
Turkish
office of
the United
Nations
Population
Fund
(UNFPA).
2015
Home of the first European
Games, the 68,000-seat

21 million accident-free man-
hours, and the stadium received
numerous awards since its
opening.
2016
Towards new projects...
Tekfen Construction signed contracts
for a number of important projects in
2016. The company won the tender for
the Afyonkarahisar-Uşak Segment of the
Ankara-İzmir Rapid Train Project and the
Afyonkarahisar Direct Pass Infrastructure
Work; it also undertook the construction
of the new headquarters for the Ministry
of Taxes in Azerbaijan, adding another
important project to its portfolio in this
country. Finally, Tekfen Construction signed
a contract for the construction of the Al
Khor Expressway in Qatar, where it has
already completed numerous infrastructure
and industrial projects to date. The Al Khor
project also constitutes the biggest one-off
project undertaken by Tekfen Construction.
The Tekfen Foundation Special Education
Center in Ceyhan, Adana opened its doors
to children with autism.
Tekfen Construction undertook the
construction of TANAP Lot 3 (Trans
Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project), one
of Turkey’s biggest energy infrastructure
projects, and thus returning to building
pipelines in Turkey after a considerable
interval. Tekfen also plays an active role in
Shah Deniz
Stage 2 on the
Caspian shore
of Azerbaijan,
the area where
the natural
gas feeding
TANAP will be
extracted.

General Manager, Tekfen Construction
Tekfen delivered the stadium as a turnkey project in a
record period of 24 months, without compromising its
high technology and work health and safety standards,
attesting to the level reached by Turkish contracting.
Ground was broken for HEP İstanbul,
the biggest housing project ever by
Tekfen Real Estate Development. The
project’s 1424 apartments in 11 high-rise
blocks are located in Esenyurt, one of
İstanbul’s fastest growing areas.
New sulphuric acid
phosphoric acid facilities
were built at the Toros
Agri Samsun Plant, and
improvements were made
to the NPK unit; the total
investment was completed
at a cost of USD335
million. Aiming to decrease
import-dependency in
raw material supply and
to eliminate risks that may
arise from fluctuations in
international markets, this
investment also features
an environment-friendly
system that converts the
heat energy from the
sulphuric acid reaction into
electricity.
