What KAD does

KAD Engineering & Construction LLC, trading as KAD Construction, is a UAE-based multi-disciplined engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EHC Group, a diversified UAE conglomerate. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Dubai with regional offices in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah, the company delivers infrastructure projects across seven service lines: Infrastructure (water, drainage, sewerage, irrigation, fire fighting, telecommunications), Roads (highways, freeways, internal roads), Oil & Gas (cross-country pipelines and gas distribution), Power Transmission (overhead lines and tower erection in mountainous terrain), District Cooling (chilled water pipeline networks), Pumping Stations (irrigation and fire fighting), and Earthworks & Civil Works (excavation, backfilling, foundations). Its technology base is an owned fleet of construction equipment (dozers, excavators, pavers, milling machines, graders, rollers) combined with specialized execution techniques, including methods developed for high-voltage transmission projects in the mountainous terrain of Fujairah.

KAD's revenue model is project-based EPC contracting plus subcontract works, with no disclosed pricing. Projects are acquired through competitive tendering against government entities (RTA, ADNOC, AD Ports, TRANSCO, Ajman Sewerage) and tier-one private developers (Emaar, DAMAC, MEYDAN, WASL, Dubai Sports City, ITHRA Dubai, Dubai Maritime City / DP World), and it has executed work cross-border for Saudi Aramco / SINOPEC. Marquee projects include the Taweelah–Fujairah 48-inch gas pipeline, 132kV overhead transmission lines in Fujairah, ADNOC City Gas Network Phase 1, Dubai Maritime City Phase 1 infrastructure, and DAMAC Lagoons backbone roads. KAD is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 (Bureau Veritas), and is led by Managing Director Kamil Sawan.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct tendering, supported by a corporate website and industry event visibility rather than traditional marketing. KAD has 251–500 employees, a private ownership structure under EHC Group, no disclosed external funding, and operates primarily in the UAE with selective expansion into Saudi Arabia.

Direct peers

• Trojan Holding: Abu Dhabi-based multi-discipline general contractor with overlapping scope across infrastructure, oil & gas pipelines, power, roads and district cooling. Closest mid-tier UAE peer to KAD in terms of size, service breadth and government/developer client mix.
• Saif Bin Darwish Company: UAE multi-discipline contractor executing roads, bridges, infrastructure and oil & gas projects for government clients. Comparable to KAD in scale, Abu Dhabi / Dubai footprint and reliance on ADNOC, DOT and municipal tenders.
• Al Jaber Group (Al Jaber Transportation & General Contracting): Qatar-headquartered EPC contractor with UAE operations covering roads, infrastructure, oil & gas and district cooling. Directly comparable to KAD across service lines, project types and reliance on GCC public-sector clients.
• Al Nasser Group: UAE multi-discipline contractor active in infrastructure, roads, oil & gas pipelines and electrical transmission. Similar size band to KAD and directly competes for ADNOC, TRANSCO and municipality tenders across Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates.
• Dhabi Contracting LLC: Abu Dhabi-based contractor specializing in infrastructure, roads, sewerage, drainage and civil works for government clients. Comparable service mix and customer profile to KAD's utility and roads segments.
• Hamad Bin Khalid Contracting (HBK Contracting): Qatar-headquartered EPC contractor with active UAE operations in roads, infrastructure, oil & gas and district cooling. Directly comparable to KAD in service mix and competes for similar tier-one developer and government clients.

Broad incumbents

• National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC): UAE-listed diversified EPC and dredging contractor with significant infrastructure and oil & gas pipeline exposure. Larger and broader than KAD, but competes for the same ADNOC and Abu Dhabi government infrastructure packages.
• Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC): Middle East-origin global EPC contractor executing large oil & gas pipelines, power transmission, civil and infrastructure projects across the GCC. Significantly larger than KAD but competes in the same tenders and shares KAD's EPCM execution model.

Regional players

• Galfar Engineering & Contracting: Oman-headquartered EPC contractor with strong oil & gas pipeline, roads and infrastructure portfolio across the GCC. Comparable to KAD in service breadth and project type, but primarily competing in the Omani market rather than UAE.
• Wade Adams Contracting: Middle East-based contractor focused on infrastructure, roads, pipelines and civil works across UAE and GCC. Comparable service portfolio to KAD with regional rather than purely UAE-centric exposure.
