What Ammico International Contracting Co. does

Ammico International Contracting Co. is a privately held, Qatar-domiciled specialty contractor executing geotechnical and marine engineering works across the GCC since 1970. The company operates through three wholly owned regional entities (Qatar as headquarters, plus Saudi Arabia and the UAE) and employs more than 1,000 personnel drawn from over 20 countries. Its service portfolio is organized into four divisions: Foundation Engineering, Marine Works, Ground Improvement, and Enabling Works, covering bored cast-in-situ piling (up to 3.0m diameter and 80m+ depth), diaphragm walls (up to 78m using BC-40 cutters), ground anchors (up to 55m and 380+ tons capacity), micro piling, dewatering, jetty and dolphin construction, marine piling, sheet piling, dredging, vibro compaction, stone columns, jet grouting, and deep excavations exceeding 20m and one million cubic meters.

Ammico owns and operates an extensive in-house fleet — including a 2,000-ton jack-up barge capable of working in 35m water depth, 8 diaphragm wall cutters, 100+ dump trucks, and 80+ excavators — which constitutes the primary capital base supporting execution of large, technically demanding tenders. The firm is the documented first introducer of Cutter Soil Mixing (CSM) technology in Saudi Arabia. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts awarded via competitive tendering with government entities, large real estate developers, and main contractors; pricing is quote-based and project-specific with multi-year contract durations. Marquee clients include Qatar Rail, Aramco, Kahramaa, Qatar Petroleum, Ashghal, the Red Sea Development Company, NEOM, Qiddiya Investment Company, Nakheel, Musheireb Properties, and Qatar National Bank. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and operates under a 2019 global strategic partnership with Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
