TRUE TRIGON

Because Black Cat’s trigon is based on three perspectives, we’re guided by true trigon.

Passion for results

Our people are passionate about delivering tangible results for clients, and it’s in our culture to understand the needs and expectations of our client. We succeed only when our clients do.

Results, not just reports

At Black Cat, we opened our doors on the principle that clients should get results—not just reports—from their Project managers. We broke the rules by developing customized strategies that help our clients. We continue to work with ambitious clients who want to define the future, not hide from it.

What Makes Black Cat Different

Our all-round approach is what distinguishes us from the rest. The
majority of services are executed in-house, starting from basic
engineering to final handover of the project. With our strong in-house
engineering capability, we clearly differentiate ourselves from other
local competitors in the Qatari Market

Excellent corporate culture derives from focused expectations. A culture that encourages performance is not only dependent on having the right people that work
consistently with the company’s values, but also on having effective practices that will enable the company to prosper.

The commitment and dedication of our employees and Executive Management enabled the company to overcome the onerous difficulties and severe challenges imposed by
the covid pandemic in successfully executing ongoing projects.

Foundation & History

05

Our organization was established over four decades ago.
From modest beginnings in the oil fields of Western
Qatar (Dukhan), we have strengthened our foundations,
while continuing to make progress throughout our
journey.

In fact, the history of Black Cat goes back to 1937 when
CAT Construction was born. Then in 1951 CAT 
Motherwell Bridge from Scotland formed “Mother Cat”
and in 1981 Mr. George Salman breaks away to form
“Black Cat Engineering Construction” (BCEC).

This long history and experience has enabled Black Cat
to develop into one of Qatar’s leading EPC Companies.
