History

The subsidiaries of Shikun U'Binui have been operating since 1924. Shikun U'Binui specializes in developing and implementing complex transportation projects (roads, bridges, railways), construction of public buildings, and projects in the fields of water, sewage, desalination and energy. Among its leading projects are Highway 6(Trans-Israel Highway), the Hadera desalination plant and the Carmel Tunnels project.[3]

In June 2012, Shikun U'Binui was excluded from the Government Pension Fund of Norway (Europe's largest equity investor) for its involvement in " the building of settlements in breach of international humanitarian law in East-Jerusalem." [4] In December 2012, it was excluded by the New Zealand Superannuation Fund on similar grounds.[5]

In 2016, the company completed the construction of toll roads in metropolitan Houston, Texas for US$1 billion.[6] Meanwhile, it also built Cundinamarca 010, a 100-mile toll road in Bogota, Colombia for US$640 million.[6]
