Overview

AWI-Ability With Innovation LLC (commonly shortened to AWI) is an Iraqi-owned construction and contracting company that describes itself as "a company that identifies and creates opportunities." Its stated vision is to provide expertly planned and professionally executed services that meet the complex demands of its region, tailoring solutions to each customer and situation. The company positions itself as an integrated services provider to the energy and government markets, with a primary focus on Iraq and additional reach into the UAE, other parts of the Middle East, Asia and the United States. AWI's service portfolio is broad and spans the full project lifecycle. It offers engineering and design, including front-end engineering and design (FEED); project management services; engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPC); general construction; marine construction services; information technology solutions; workforce services; equipment rental and maintenance (with or without operator); and procurement and logistics services. This combination allows AWI to act both as an integrated EPC contractor and as a provider of stand-alone construction and related works. In the energy sector, AWI's project management offering is aimed at reducing risk, assuring quality and completing projects on time and on budget, covering engineering design review, appraisal, procurement, construction supervision, verification and inspection through to testing and commissioning. Its workforce services division supplies professional Iraqi talent, construction workers and expatriate personnel, offering contract staffing, permanent recruitment, on-demand staffing and employee deployment. AWI states that its history of expertly planned and professionally executed services spans five decades, and that as a long-established local company it has a thorough understanding of Iraqi labor laws, practices and cultural imperatives. The company has been awarded work by major international energy contractors and operators active in Iraq. In February 2022, ExxonMobil Iraq Ltd. (EMIL) commissioned BL Energy and AWI under a "One Team Approach" for engineering, procurement and construction work on the MOTD2 project. In January 2022, the China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation (CPECC) contracted AWI for the Option 8B installation works component of the Major Tie-Ins project, and in December 2021 AWI began work on a contract for multiple mechanical and piping works. In January 2023, CPECC awarded AWI the Zubair Mishrif DGS Expansion Civil Works Project. AWI presents itself as an organization built on international standards and best practices, but stresses that its policies and processes are tailored to support efficient and effective delivery — an approach it brands the "AWI Way." It emphasizes putting customers first to build a reputation for reliability and performance, which it says leads to customer loyalty and repeat business. The company also maintains corporate governance documentation, including a code of corporate governance, a code of ethics, board committee charters and terms of reference for its internal auditor and board secretary, and it operates internal training and development initiatives such as AWI University.

AWI-Ability With Innovation LLC is an Iraqi-owned construction and contracting company. Public information about its founding date and founders is limited; the company itself states that its history of expertly planned and professionally executed services spans five decades, indicating a long-established local presence in Iraq. It describes itself as "a company that identifies and creates opportunities," performing analysis, due diligence and investment of capital and talent to vet opportunities and bring them into reality. AWI built its business around serving the energy and government markets, with a focus on Iraq and reach into the UAE, other areas of the Middle East, Asia and the US. Over time it assembled a broad service portfolio covering engineering and design (including FEED), project management, integrated EPC, general and marine construction, IT solutions, workforce services, equipment rental and maintenance, and procurement and logistics. This breadth allows AWI to serve as an integrated EPC contractor as well as a provider of stand-alone construction and related works. A significant part of AWI's recent public record is its project awards in Iraq's oil and gas sector. In December 2021, AWI announced it had started works on a recently awarded contract for multiple mechanical and piping works.
