What Sarooj Construction Company does

Sarooj Construction Company LLC is an Oman-domiciled, privately held general contractor founded in 1976 and restructured in 2006 into its current multi-sector form. Headquartered in Muscat, the company reports a workforce of more than 4,000 professionals and a dynamic project portfolio exceeding $1.3 billion in completed and ongoing work, delivering civil engineering, earthworks, marine, road, airport, MEP, and infrastructure construction services. Its client base is concentrated in Oman's oil & gas, government, marine, renewable-energy and industrial sectors, with named engagements for Petroleum Development Oman, BP Khazzan, Occidental Oman, OQ, MTCIT, Saipem, GS INIMA, Qurayyat Desalination SAOC, Sterling and Wilson, Shangri-La, Mall of Oman, and Duqm SEZAD Refinery, among others.

The company is organized around six service lines: Oil & Gas; Airport & Roads; Marine; Civil & Buildings; Utilities (MEP); and an Innovative Solutions line that packages AI-driven road alignment optimization, hydrogen fuel-cell trucks, solar cool shelters, biodiesel equipment, hybrid surveying drones, and EV charging infrastructure. Underlying technical content is conventional heavy-civil construction (earthworks, concrete foundations, underground piping, marine intake/outfall, MEP installation) augmented by an emerging digital-design and clean-energy overlay. AI capability is presently scoped to a generative AI use case for road design (deployed on the KLD project), supported by structured data inputs for cost, travel-time and environmental-impact optimization.

Sarooj operates a B2B enterprise field-sales model, securing project-based EPC contracts via direct relationships with major Omani oil & gas operators, government ministries, and international EPC contractors. Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts and professional-services agreements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per scope. The business is family-run, with Sheikh Mohamad Al Khalili as Chairman, Anthony Helou as CEO, and Deputy CEOs for Development, Operations and Support. There are no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent-company relationships.
