Consolidated Contractors Company

[1] Founded in 1952, this privately held company "offers commercial project management, engineering, procurement, and construction services", according to Bloomberg.

[4] The company's own publications discuss "construction, engineering, procurement, development and investment activities internationally"[5] in areas from the Middle East to Africa, Australia and Papua New Guinea.

[6] In the summer of 1941, after having graduated from American University in Beirut, Hasib Sabbagh, one of the founders of CCC, returned to Palestine to find a job.

In 1973, CCC set up the National Petroleum Construction Company in Abu Dhabi to provide offshore services to the oil and gas industries in all the Arabian Gulf countries.

Today NPCC has an annual revenue of over US$800 million[8] In 1975, when the civil war broke out in Lebanon, CCC moved its headquarters first to London and then to Athens in 1976.

[12] To diversify its projects, CCC started a partnership with Canadian OXY, and won a bid to explore for oil in Masila, South Yemen.

CCC's scope included engineering, procurement, installation, construction and commissioning of 886 km crude oil and gas pipeline.

[23] In Abu Dhabi, CCC contributed to the construction of the Offshore Associated Gas Project,[24] and Habshan Facilities, and the largest ethylene cracker in the world.

Elsewhere in the Persian Gulf, CCC has been working on a number of major projects in Qatar, including: Khursaniyah Producing Facilities & Gas Plants in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

[39] In an April 2019 report, CCC listed these as its landmark construction projects: "the Dubai Mall, the Abu Dhabi International Airport – Midfield Terminal Building, Riyadh Metro Project, 30% of all LNG facilities in the world, residential towers, hotels, power stations, water and sewage treatment plants and networks, roads and bridges, industrial and process plants and pipelines around the world".

[3] The Midfield Terminal of the Abu Dhabi International Airport, a US$3.2 billion project, was awarded to the joint venture of CCC, TAV and Arabtec.

Across several packages, CCC's scope entailed the air traffic control tower and its support facilities, midfield area access system, midfield telecommunication building, fire stations, administrative building blocks, the medical center and employee village, the general aviation hangar and the solid waste handling facility.

[44] A joint venture between Vinci SA, CCC, TAV & Odebrecht was awarded in 2007 the construction of the US$2 billion new Tripoli International Airport Terminal buildings in Libya.

These massive Ukrainian cargo aircraft will bring in large pieces of equipment for the construction of the PNG LNG project's Hides gas field conditioning plant, which is located 10 km away to the northeast of Komo Airfield.

[51] In March 2008, Ambatovy Minerals S.A., specializing in the extraction and refining of nickel and cobalt, entered into a contract with CCC for the construction of a 220-kilometer pipeline in Madagascar.

[52] This project was part of a large-scale industrial initiative aimed at transporting raw ore extracted from the mountains to the coast for refining.

Numerous attempts at amicable settlement have failed, highlighting CCC's behavior, which seems to disregard not only its contractual commitments but also judicial and arbitral decisions.

This case underscores the challenges in enforcing international arbitral decisions and highlights the behavior of certain companies, which are reluctant to adhere to established rules and fulfill their financial obligations.
