In 1981, Black Cat
Engineering and Construction began it’s humble existence with a small office in
Doha and a single portacabin site office in Dukhan Oil & Gas Field. We have
since evolved into one of the leading EPIC and Maintenance Contractors for the
Oil & Gas Industry in the sate of Qatar. With a current manpower of over 1800
men and anticipated turnover of over 350 Million QR. we continue to expand along
with our Parent Company (QIPCO) under the patronage of H.E. SHEIKH HAMAD BIN
ABDULLA BIN KHALIFA AL-THANI.
One of the attributes that differentiates us from our local competitors is our
considerable in-house engineering capability. With in excess of 60 discipline
engineers we have the ability to undertake complex projects in very tight time
scales. Since the acquisition by the QIPCO group we have made significant investments in
our resources and facilities. Significant expansions have been implemented in
both our workshop and accommodation facilities in Zekreet. Additional office
space has been acquired in Doha and the Management and Engineering teams have
been considerably strengthened.
Turnover and profitability have been increased five-fold since the QIPCO
acquisition. With a healthy backlog of over QAR 600 million excluding our QAR
1.7 billion joint venture project for the Ras Laffan Emergency and Safety
Training College, BCEC is well placed to continue its recent rapid expansion.
We are currently executing projects in Dukhan, Mesaieed and Ras Laffan and our
current and recent clients include Qatar Petroleum (QP), Gasal (a joint venture
between QP and Air Liquide), Rasgas, Qatargas, QChem, Qafco, Petrofac and
Hyundai. Recent and ongoing projects include pipelines and compressor stations,
storage facilities, control room upgrades and brown field modifications to
existing process plants. The quality of service we provide is reflected in the
large amount of repeat business we receive.
We have recently created a Joint Venture company with AMEC a world class
facilities management and shutdown contractor to provide asset support
servicesand we have also acquired land for a maintenance workshop in Ras Laffan
which is scheduled to become operational in Q4 2010. We also intend to enter
into relationships with other service providers and equipment specialists.
Further strategic developments are also planned in the fabrication,
MEP(mechanical, electrical & plumbing) and civil sectors.
