Consortia Building
At Ashghal, our strengths are founded on our deep and trusted network of advisors, industry specialists, and local partners in Iraq.
We have used this extensive group of thought and experienced leaders to build strong consortia equipped to handle our client’s diverse programs.
As a prime contractor, we strive to drive defined objectives, efficiencies, transparency, trust, and value within our consortia for the benefit of our partners, ensuring successful programs from inception to build and handover to the client.
The consortia we build offer multiple benefits to our commercial or governmental clients, including access to markets that they might not be able to access alone and competitively priced projects that meet the needs of the client rather than the companies selling to them.”
Aviation Solution Design, Build and Integration
Ashghal is an independent specialist organization with extensive experience designing, delivering, and integrating modular air traffic engineering and air traffic control solutions in Iraq and worldwide. As a UK-based aviation prime with expertise in airport solutions, our independence ensures that our clients in Iraq receive the most cost-effective and fit-for-purpose resolution to their unique challenges.
We have extensive experience in field aviation technology, out-field aerospace management, and civil engineering in Iraq, which has allowed us to develop a high-performing integrated modular solution for airport and airbase upgrades and rehabilitation.
Our Integrated Modular Aviation Technology Solutions (IMATS) have been developed for challenging operational and environmental locations worldwide and can be built and integrated off-site. IMATS is a fully ICAO-compliant “air traffic control (ATC) in a box” solution that allows airport owners to simply “order and operate.” It provides the core operating facilities of an airport, such as the air traffic control (ATC) facility, and can be customized with additional facilities such as instrument landing equipment and radar, terminals and hangarage, runway builds and upgrades, maintenance, repair, and refueling services, security, firefighting and rescue, retail, and parking facilities.
Our independence allows us to drive competitively priced solutions through tender management, vendor selection, implementation, and integration in Iraq. From greenfield sites to rehabilitation in post-conflict environments, our experience and expertise allow us to deliver best-in-class solutions at pace to our clients in Iraq.

We have worked with governments and organizations of varying sizes in various industries on a global scale. We have a well-developed methodology and experienced industry leaders who bring improved efficiency and better value for money to the projects we manage.
Our deep understanding of our client’s needs gives us a competitive edge in the tendering process and helps prevent project drift and cost inflation that can occur post-contract. This approach establishes Ashghal as a trusted partner capable of owning every aspect of the bid process from initial strategy to final handover.

This process enables a nation’s quality of life and economic progression by driving growth, creating jobs and providing stability, and security.

Leveraging our experience in tender management and consortia building, we have extensive experience in equipment procurement and installation, aviation management, and civil engineering.
