2. about us
OCTAGON CONTRACTING & ENGINEERING is a construction company headquartered in Bucharest
(Romania). With a 19.6 million Euro turnover in 2013, large projects in Romania, Iraq, Greece, Bulgaria and
Turkey, OCTAGON is one of the major players in the field of geotechnical and civil works in Romania.
Our history began in 2005, when we started our activity with a small, but enthusiastic team.
represented a dynamic period for
the company’s activity, supported
also by the spectacular growth
of the construction market.
Residential complex 159 Maresal
Averescu (Maresal Averescu
Blvd., Bucharest), office building Olympia
Tower (Piata Alba-Iulia, Bucharest), UTI Instal
headquarters (Bucharest) are only a few of the
residential and office projects we delivered.
2006
2007
we started the
geotechnical works on two
projects in Iraq: Al Zawraa
Stadium (Baghdad) and
Shatt Al Basra 1,250 MW
Power Plant (Basra). In the
same year we were awarded the special
foundation and superstructure works
for building A within the office complex
Green Court Bucharest (Bucharest -
Gara Herastrau Street), the first project
developed by Swedish construction
company Skanska, in Romania.
2012
2013
we became
general
contractor of the
office complex
Hermes Business
Campus and
we continued the works on
Green Court Bucharest-
building A. We also started
the construction of the
office building PC Business
Center (7- 9 A Bucharest-
Ploiesti National Road).
2013
2014
at present we
are performing
superstructure works
for building B of the complex Green
Court Bucharest, geotechnical works
for the project “Underground Tunnel
Piata Presei Libere” (Bucharest)
and for the infrastructure projects:
rehabilitation of the railway Brasov -
Simeria, Coslariu - Sighisoara
section, Micasasa - Coslariu
segment and Lugoj - Deva Highway,
sector 2, sections A, D and E.
2014
was a year of
dramatic decline for
the construction
market, during
which OCTAGON
managed to
maintain its position and its growth
pace. We became geotechnical
works subcontractor for one of the
biggest office projects in Romania:
Hermes Business Campus (Dimitrie
Pompeiu Blvd, Bucharest).
2009
2010
was the
year when
OCTAGON
contracted
special
foundation,
structural and architectural
works, for the project
with the highest value in its
portfolio, so far: Combined
Cycle Power Plant 867 MW
OMV - Petrom Brazi.
2010
2011
brought new expansion
opportunities for
OCTAGON, with a new
segment on the construction
market. The company
contracted geotechnical
works for the road infrastructure projects:
Orastie - Sibiu Motorway and Bucharest
- Brasov Motorway. In 2011 OCTAGON
also opened its first branch on another
continent, in Baghdad (Iraq). Octagon
also acquired 58.5% of Comat Electro.
2011
2012
was a year
of activity
consolidation and
also a year during
which we continued
the projects started
in the previous year. We have put
our efforts and resources into
building a professional reputation
in this very competitive field.
2007
2008
was a key
year for the
company’s
evolution:
we per
formed
geotechnical works on
the tallest office building
in Bucharest: Sky Tower
(Calea Floreasca).
