About Black Cat
We’ve been able to achieve a lot since we started. From a small office in Doha and in a single “porta-cabin” site office, we have since evolved into one of the leading EPC company.

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. All 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 by far differentiate ourselves from other local competitors in the Qatari Market.

Foundation & History

Since our organization was established over four decades ago, we have strengthened our foundations, while continuing to make progress throughout our journey.
From modest beginnings in the Oil Fields of Western Qatar (Dukhan), In fact the history of Black Cat goes back to 1937 when CAT Construction was born. 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 enabled Black Cat to develop into one of Qatar’s leading EPC Company.
