EPPM

What EPPM does

EPPM (Engineering, Procurement & Project Management) is a Tunisia-headquartered EPC contractor founded in 1993 that delivers integrated engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and operations & maintenance services across Oil & Gas (midstream processing, pipelines, storage, water injection), Water Treatment (desalination, sewage, industrial, potable), Industrial Plants (power, fertilizer, cement), and Renewable Energy. The company executes projects via EPCC turnkey, EPS, PMC, O&M, and long-term BOT/BOO financing structures, serving National Oil Companies (SONATRACH, ADNOC, ARAMCO, PETRONAS), International Oil Companies (LUKOIL), state utilities (MARAFIQ, SONEDE, STEG, ETAP, LIFECO, SOMOIL), and government ministries. Core technical capability is delivered through in-house multi-disciplinary engineering covering process, piping, mechanical, civil, structural, corrosion, safety, fire protection, instrumentation, and electrical disciplines, supported by an engineering design capacity of approximately 400,000 hours per year and 3D laser scanning equipment.

EPPM generates revenue primarily through project-based, multi-year EPCC and O&M contracts with milestones negotiated on a quote basis per scope and complexity; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by client. The company is privately held under founder-CEO Hafedh Daoud, with no disclosed external investors or parent entity. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and adheres to PMI project management standards. Its competitive moat rests on a 25+ year track record, pre-qualification with major Gulf and African NOCs/IOCs, wholly-owned subsidiaries in nine countries, and over 1,000 permanent collaborators.

Strategic posture is that of a regional mid-tier EPC consolidator rather than a global supermajor: expansion has been geographically deliberate (Libya 2002, Algeria 2007, KSA 2009, Angola/Oman 2010, Iraq 2013, UAE/DRC 2015) and has only recently extended into asset ownership via a €9 million 10 MW photovoltaic plant in Tunisia (2020) and the 2023 Kivu Power partnership for Lake Kivu methane-to-power in DRC.
