Past performance
Twenty years of building for U.S. agencies
Our management team ran Trust Construction Limited (TCL), a design-build contractor in Kabul, from 2002 to 2021. TCL delivered military, border and infrastructure projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USAID, UNOPS and the Afghan government.
TCL worked as a prime contractor, as a joint-venture partner and as a subcontractor to U.S. firms. Its largest job was the design and construction of 22 km of new asphalt roads at Bagram Airfield for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: an $18.66 million contract completed in June 2014.
The work ran under USACE quality and safety systems: contractor quality control with three-phase inspection, EM 385-1-1 safety plans, submittals, progress reporting and formal closeout. Those are the habits AZG Contracting brings to every contract.
Bagrami Industrial Park
Infrastructure for Kabul's first modern industrial park, opened by USAID in October 2005: the main and side roads, water and sewer systems, transformer houses, the power plant and site works.
Mazar-e-Sharif Industrial Park
