About Us

Sarpkaya Contracting was founded in 1988 in Ankara by civil engineer Orhan Sarpkaya as a small road and bridge contractor, starting with one machine and twelve workers. Its first job was a 14-kilometre village road and two culverts in Central Anatolia. What has not changed since is the principle of finishing the job in the promised time, quality and budget.

Expanding into irrigation and drinking water networks in the 1990s and into organised industrial zone infrastructure and industrial steel structures in the 2000s, the firm has become a construction and engineering group with 1,900 employees, 380 machines, six concrete plants and its own steel workshop, able to run 25 – 30 projects at the same time.

Our values

• Safety above all: No job and no deadline is more important than safety.
• Transparency: We share weekly progress, monthly payment certificates and cost reports with our client.
• Engineering discipline: Quantity surveying, planning and quality control follow the same standard in every project.
• Environment and community: We hold regular briefing meetings with neighbouring districts and plan waste and dust management.
• Investing in people: Our average tenure is 9 years; our employees average 32 hours of training a year.

Our management systems

Our ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management systems are audited every year by independent bodies. Our contractor's licence and all quality certificates are published on the Documents page.

Social responsibility

We prioritise local employment where our sites are, and each year offer training to 120 interns from vocational high schools. Our scholarship programme is aimed at employees' children and students of villages around our sites.
