INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS
Our firm operates internationally developing projects in cooperation with local consulting firms or international engineering firms. We have worked alongside with top Spanish consulting firms (SENER, TYPSA, Eptisa, Eyser, Getinsa, Técnicas Reunidas, etc.) as well as with major international groups (COWICONSULT (Denmark), ARUP (UK), HNTB (USA), Yooshin Corporation (Korea), etc).
We also participate in construction projects with major international general contractors and building groups (Dragados, OHL, FCC, Sacyr). Within this field we have maintained a longstanding collaborative relationship with the Mexican firm MEXPRESA, with which we have specialised in designing special bridges in Latin America (cable-stayed, incrementally launched and moveable bridges).
The headquarters of our firm is located in Madrid, Spain, where our team of expert engineers develop their work. However, depending on the demands of each particular project it is customary to send designer engineers or supervising engineers to provide on-site project development and supervision or work with local engineering firms.
