What Osnova does

Osnova (ТОВ «Основа») is a privately held Ukrainian construction group of companies headquartered in Kyiv, founded in 1996 and operating under the leadership of Director Yuriy Volodymyrovych Karpenko. The group comprises six wholly-owned enterprises — including the parent Osnova, Staltech metal structures factory, Romeks-Beton (monolithic reinforced concrete), Osnova-Brovary (drilling tools and construction equipment), Osnova-Solsif, and TsKOB MiK (building materials testing) — supported by 15 departments covering surveys, design, production, and construction. Approximately 1,800 employees support a fleet of 300 construction units and 200 transport vehicles, with corporate offices in Kyiv and a 24,000 m² manufacturing complex on a 7 ha site in Brovary.

The group delivers turnkey general contracting (genpidryad) for industrial, commercial, and civil construction projects, with deep specialization in complex geotechnical and foundation engineering — including bored injection piles, micro-piles up to 300 mm diameter and 25 m length, jet grouting (0.5 m to 2.0 m soil-cement columns), diaphragm walls to 80 m depth, ground anchors, and monolithic reinforced concrete. Osnova claims to be the first Ukrainian contractor to implement pile installation, micro-pile, grout injection anchors, and jet grouting technologies. Vertical integration is anchored by Staltech, which produces up to 18,000 tonnes of metal structures per year for bridge, industrial, and commercial building applications. Service lines span industrial construction, commercial and high-rise residential buildings, hydraulic engineering (dams, flood protection, coastal reinforcement), bridges and transport infrastructure, and full design-and-engineering.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts won via direct enterprise sales, tenders, and repeat relationships with industrial, government, and real estate clients. Pricing is custom-per-project, with no public pricing tiers; contract cadences range from single-project to multi-year engagements. Client concentration is diversified across food manufacturing (Kraft Foods, TserSanit, Kormotekh), automotive (Leoni Wiring Systems), construction materials (CRH cement plant), hospitality (Holiday Inn and Radisson Blu Kyiv), retail (BILLA), logistics (Kuehne+Nagel), sports infrastructure (NSC Olimpiyskyi), and government work including the German Embassy, the Motherland Monument restoration, and the National Museum of Holodomor-Genocide. The group serves Ukraine and holds an international project presence in Belarus, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Hungary, and Burkina Faso. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 3834 Part 2, and EN 1090-2 EXC3 (DVS Zert), and the company continues operations amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

• Mostostal Warszawa S.A. Polish construction company specializing in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects including steel structures and foundation works. Comparable in offering mix (steel structures + general contracting) and in being a regional CEE construction player.
• PORR AG: Austrian construction group with significant CEE operations across general contracting, infrastructure, and foundation engineering. Closely comparable to Osnova's full-service, multi-country delivery model.
• Bauer AG: German-based global specialist in foundation engineering, ground improvement, and geotechnical services. Direct peer in Osnova's core differentiator (piling, grouting, ground improvement) and a key international competitor in foundation technologies.
• Soletanche-Bachy: French global leader in geotechnical and foundation engineering, and already a technology partner to Osnova (cable/prestressed anchor technology). Closest direct peer in jet grouting, diaphragm walls, and deep foundations — the very technologies Osnova pioneered in Ukraine.
• Keller Group plc: UK-based global geotechnical solutions contractor specializing in ground engineering, piling, and ground improvement. Direct competitor in the foundation engineering niche that is Osnova's core differentiator.
