The path we walked will create our own destiny

Founded in 1896 as Mizuno-gumi in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Penta-Ocean Construction has expanded its business areas from initial marine civil engineering to land civil engineering and building construction. Overseas, starting with the Suez Canal Expansion Project in 1961, Penta-Ocean Construction has been involved in many milestone projects, mostly based in Singapore, since the company’s first entry to the market in 1964.
