Qatar Trading and Contracting Group

What Qatar Trading and Contracting Group does

Qatar Trading and Contracting Group (QTCG) is a privately held civil infrastructure contractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Doha, Qatar. The company delivers roads construction, drainage and pipeline works, micro-tunneling, geotechnical drilling, grouting, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), equipment hire, and aggregate materials production. Its primary client is the Public Works Authority (Ashghal), and it has completed 87 projects with 4 currently in execution, anchored by mega-contracts such as the QR 1.36 billion Doha Industrial Area Package 1, the QR 1.08 billion LIS-01 contract, and the QR 645 million Al Ebb and Leabaib drainage scheme.

QTCG holds Grade A Local Civil Contractor classification and is pre-qualified for the Local Roads and Drainage Program (LRDP) Groups 1 and 2 with capacity up to QR 900 million, the principal access gate to Ashghal's local-infrastructure tender pipeline. Its technical capability base is anchored by Herrenknecht micro-tunneling machines (AVN1000, AVN2000, AVN2400), in-house batching plants, and aggregate crushing operations, supported by ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications. The company maintains a workforce of approximately 3,300, including 150+ certified engineers.

The business model is built on long-cycle, fixed-price public infrastructure tenders awarded by Ashghal and adjacent Qatari government entities. Revenue is recognized over multi-year build periods, with execution risk tied to project scheduling, labor mobilization, and capital-intensive plant deployment. Adjacent revenue streams from equipment hire and aggregate supply monetize internally owned plant to third parties. Pricing is tender-driven under government frameworks, with margins shaped by competitive intensity among pre-qualified Grade A contractors and by Ashghal's procurement cycle.
