Dogus has been active in Ukraine for 20 years. Having completed large-scale projects with EBRD, JICA and Deutchebank Finance (Including Boryspil Airport International Terminal and Extension), Doğuş was executing the Kremenchug Cable Stay Bridge project once the war started.

When the large-scale war started on February 24, 2022, the company promptly evacuated all personnel, including the families of its Ukrainian staff, to Istanbul. Approximately 100 people were accommodated in company hotels and residences, with living expenses covered. Some of those individuals continue to be hosted in Istanbul.

For employees who chose to stay in Ukraine, Dogus ensured the continuity of their salaries, despite the suspension of work activities during the initial months of the war. In 2022, the company hosted around 50 Ukrainian engineers in Istanbul for strategic projects, providing them with a comprehensive training program at one of its construction sites.

Despite the ongoing war, Dogus Construction remains operational in Ukraine, focusing on the reconstruction of destroyed bridges. These pilot projects are supported by the UK Export Finance, highlighting Dogus’s commitment to aiding Ukraine’s recovery and development.

Dogus Construction’s unwavering dedication to excellence, safety, and sustainability, combined with its proactive support for Ukraine, underscores the company’s leadership and humanitarian values in the global construction sector.
