Kambeton serves as a one-stop shop for all concrete needs, offering the most comprehensive range of precast products across Turkey and Europe. With six distinct product categories and an extensive selection of 3,000 items, the company operates three state-of-the-art facilities covering a combined production area of 290,000 square meters. This infrastructure enables Kambeton to achieve an impressive annual production capacity of 360,000 cubic meters of concrete. “We can design and manufacture all kinds of concrete products in bulk, from infrastructure to superstructure elements, based on customized needs,” says Beril Baykam Paksoy, vice chairman of the board. Led by its founder, Zeki Baykam, alongside second-generation leaders Beril Baykam Paksoy and İdil Baykam, Kambeton has amassed over 45 years of expertise in concrete manufacturing. Supported by a proficient in-house team, with 35 percent of its professionals possessing over a decade of experience, it offers a diverse range of products, including prestressed beams, columns, hollow-core slabs, retaining blocks, box culverts, and more. Employing a vertically integrated approach ensures maximum efficiency and reliability for each product, enabling Kambeton to oversee every aspect of the project, from inception to completion. Kambeton’s ability to fabricate its formworks enables precise customization and quality control. A specialized fleet of trucks and cranes ensures efficient material handling, while highly skilled in-house installation teams execute innovative, customized designs developed by the seasoned design team. This self-reliant approach enables the company to meet tight deadlines. The in-house R&D team constantly explores new technologies and materials to improve the performance and aesthetics of precast concrete. Their efficiency was proven during the 2023 Turkey earthquake when they developed Betokon, a worksite container combining a durable concrete base with an insulated steel top.This innovation provided a superior housing solution for those displaced by the disaster, addressing rust and flood damage issues that affected steel containers. Kambeton prioritizes quality above all else and has access to high-quality raw materials due to its advantageous geographic location. It has been an active member of the Precast Association of Turkey since 1994 and is accredited by K-Q TSE-ISO-EN-9001:2015. The production processes adhere to industry standards, and all products undergo meticulous testing to ensure the delivery of best-in-class concrete components that surpass client’s expectations. Building long-lasting relationships with clients requires going out of the box to accommodate their needs, and Kambeton does it like no one else. One of Turkey’s biggest conglomerates once approached it for the construction of a paper mill factory. The client had a tight deadline and wanted the company to take charge of the precast and the entire construction phase. Through meticulous planning and resource allocation, the project was completed on time.

When driving across the Bay Bridge in San Francisco or admiring the towering 726-foot Hoover Dam, we often marvel at their historical significance. But do we ever consider the company behind these engineering feats? It’s none other than Bechtel, a global leader in infrastructure development. Since its founding in 1898, Bechtel has completed over 25,000 projects in 160 countries across all seven continents. Its impact is worldwide, from power plants to transportation networks, shaping economies and connecting nations. It’s Not Just Construction, It’s Smart Construction Success in large infrastructure projects goes beyond building—it requires innovation. These endeavors involve vast subcontractor networks, thousands of workers and billion-dollar budgets. Decades of expertise enable Bechtel to manage complexities precisely, ensuring projects are completed efficiently and built for longevity. A key component of this success is supply chain management. With billions in annual expenditures, Bechtel ensures responsible materials sourcing, even in remote locations. Digital project management tools provide real-time tracking, seamlessly coordinating teams across the globe. Integrating scheduling, cost control and risk management keeps projects on time and within budget. Harnessing Technology for Faster Projects Technology is at the heart of Bechtel’s operations. The company employs cutting-edge innovations like 3D, 4D and 5D modeling, cloud-based solutions and mobile platforms to optimize project execution. These tools accelerate timelines, enhance efficiency and improve quality. “We must push these technologies down the cost curve by building more units. Once standardization and repetition are achieved, construction schedules are shortened and costs go down. This is true for every aspect of the project delivery, including engineering, permitting, manufacturing and construction,” says Craig Albert, President and COO.
