ZETAS

What ZETAS does

ZETAS (legal entity ZETAŞ Zemin Teknolojisi A.Ş.) is a Turkish geotechnical and foundation engineering contractor that has delivered integrated soil investigation, design, consultancy, implementation, monitoring, and specialized machinery manufacturing services since 1988. Headquartered in Çekmeköy, Istanbul, the company executes deep foundation and ground improvement works for infrastructure (metro stations, tunnels, ports, highways), high-rise real estate, energy (hydroelectric and nuclear), maritime, and shipbuilding clients across Turkey and the Middle East, with active projects documented in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Qatar, Iraq, Kazakhstan, and Uruguay. Its technical stack spans diaphragm walls (using grabs and hydrofraise cutters), bored piles, jet grouting (Jet 1/2/3 systems), barrettes, secant piles, micropiles, soil nailing, prestressed anchors, cut-off/slurry walls, dewatering, and quality control testing, complemented by the ZETAŞ ForSHORE sub-brand for offshore marine geotechnical works and the Zetta-Lyze digital platform for real-time production data collection across 1,150+ sites and 100+ pile machines.

Since the end of 2019, ZETAS has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Soletanche Bachy — the global leader in foundation and soil technologies with 80 subsidiaries across nearly 60 countries — itself part of the VINCI Group. The company generates project-based professional services revenue through direct contracting with enterprise clients (Emaar, Cengiz İnşaat, Doğuş İnşaat, ICDAS, Folkart, Saudi Diyar, Gilan Holding, Fast Consortium) and government entities (Abu Dhabi Municipality). Pricing is contract-specific and not publicly disclosed, with revenue tied to the volume and complexity of awarded tenders. The 2022 brand refresh, Zetta-Lyze platform rollout, and ZETAŞ ForSHORE launch reflect continued investment in digitalization and vertical expansion into marine and energy infrastructure markets.

Direct peers

• Keller Group: UK-headquartered global geotechnical contractor offering ground engineering, foundation solutions, and ground improvement services. Directly comparable as a publicly listed specialist foundation engineering firm operating internationally with similar technique portfolios (piling, grouting, ground improvement).
• Bauer AG: German foundation engineering specialist providing piling, diaphragm walls, cut-off walls, and ground improvement. Closely comparable as a publicly listed peer with both equipment manufacturing and specialty contracting divisions, competing for similar large infrastructure and high-rise foundation projects.
• Trevi Group: Italian specialty foundation engineering contractor offering piling, ground improvement, and soil consolidation services. Directly comparable as a specialty contractor focused on foundation works across complex projects with similar service scope and Mediterranean/Middle East market exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Soletanche Bachy: ZETAS's parent company and world leader in foundations and soil technologies, operating across ~60 countries with 80 subsidiaries. Comparable as the broader group entity under which ZETAS operates; provides global scale context but operates more broadly across all foundation techniques and geographies.
• Balfour Beatty: UK-based major construction and infrastructure group with a substantial ground engineering division. Comparable as a diversified construction firm with meaningful geotechnical capabilities, though foundation work is part of a much larger construction portfolio.
• Strabag: Austrian-headquartered European construction group with significant tunnel, foundation, and geotechnical capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent in construction with relevant tunneling and foundation engineering exposure, though foundation work represents a subset of overall revenue.
• Skanska: Swedish construction and development group with substantial civil engineering and infrastructure capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent executing large infrastructure projects (including metro and tunneling) where ZETAS serves as specialty subcontractor on similar projects.

Emerging players

• CCCC Foundation Engineering: Chinese state-owned foundation engineering specialist increasingly active in Middle East and Belt-and-Road infrastructure markets. Comparable as an emerging international player in specialty foundation contracting competing for similar large infrastructure and high-rise projects in ZETAS's operating geographies.
• China Harbour Engineering Company: State-owned Chinese marine and infrastructure contractor active in Middle East and emerging markets. Comparable as a marine/infrastructure specialist competing for similar maritime foundation, port, and offshore projects in geographies where ZETAS's ForSHORE brand operates.

Regional players

• Royal Boskalis Westminster: Dutch marine services and offshore contractor with capabilities in port construction, land reclamation, and offshore foundations. Comparable for ZETAS's ForSHORE marine and offshore work (breakwaters, artificial islands, quay walls), though operating primarily from Europe rather than Turkey/Middle East.
