Arouconstrói Engenharia e Construções, S.A.

Arouconstrói – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. is a Portuguese civil-construction company based in Chave, Portugal, and integrated in the Farcimar, SGPS group. It was founded on 15 April 1996 under the name Arouconstrói – Construções Américo Teixeira Irmão & Filhos, Lda, and changed its legal form to a joint-stock company (sociedade anónima) in 2008, adopting the designation Arouconstrói – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. The company was created with the primary objective of providing Farcimar's clients with a partner to apply, on work sites, many of the products produced and supplied by Farcimar. This partnership allowed Arouconstrói to increase the creation of new materials, to offer clients an assembly option, and to specialise in areas such as main drainage systems, precast elements assembly and acoustic barriers execution. Although Arouconstrói has enough resources to carry out several projects as a general contractor, it has strategically developed its activity as a sub-contractor in several specialisation areas of the civil-construction universe, thereby increasing its competitiveness. Its service portfolio covers civil construction, infrastructures, precast assembly, geomembrane application, sound barriers, and undertaking business and rehabilitation. The company states that it is prepared to innovate the services it provides in order to respond to the different needs of clients and of the markets in which it operates. Arouconstrói opened a further service segment in 2008 directed to the application of sound barriers. Although the service was recently made available, the quantity of executed works, mainly in the Spanish market, demonstrates the installed capacity and the increased experience gained by executing practically all kinds of sound-barrier types — metallic (steel, aluminium), acrylic, wood, glass, concrete and others. The initial investment in team formation and equipment acquisition and adaptation was very high due to the level of rigour and the high production capacity required, because of the need to present the work within a tight deadline. Arouconstrói today positions itself in the sound-barrier market as a company highly specialised in the study and application of sound-protection systems, with recognised technical skill in executing projects, managing work sites and applying sound-protection units. All of the sound barriers installed by Arouconstrói, independently of the material they are made of, are certified by the European standard EN 14388. As a member of the Farcimar, SGPS group, Arouconstrói operates primarily in Portugal and Spain, serving clients who require specialised civil-construction subcontracting services. Its identity is closely tied to its parent group's industrial production of construction materials and systems, and its role is to deliver the on-site application and assembly of those products alongside broader civil-construction and rehabilitation works.

Arouconstrói – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. was founded on 15 April 1996 under the name Arouconstrói – Construções Américo Teixeira Irmão & Filhos, Lda. It was created as part of the Farcimar, SGPS group with the primary objective of providing Farcimar's clients with a partner to apply, at work sites, many of the products that were produced and supplied by Farcimar. This partnership allowed the company not only to increase the creation of new materials and to offer clients the option of assembly, but also to specialise in areas such as main drainage systems, precast elements assembly and acoustic barriers execution. In 2008 the company altered its legal form to an anonymous society (sociedade anónima), assuming the new designation Arouconstrói – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. In the same year, Arouconstrói opened one more service segment directed to the application of sound barriers. Although the service had been recently made available, the quantity of executed works, mainly in the Spanish market, demonstrated the installed capacity and the increased experience gained by executing practically all kinds of sound-barrier types — metallic (steel, aluminium), acrylic, wood, glass, concrete and others. The initial investment in team formation and equipment acquisition and adaptation was very high due to the level of rigour and the high production capacity required, because of the need to present the work within a tight deadline and the need for the work to be done in that time. Arouconstrói today assumes a position in the sound-barrier market as a company highly specialised in the study and application of sound-protection systems, with recognised technical skill in the execution of projects, managing work sites and applying sound-protection units. All of the sound barriers installed by Arouconstrói, independently of the material they are made of, are certified by the European standard EN 14388. Strategically, although Arouconstrói has enough resources to carry out several projects as a general contractor, it has developed its activity as a sub-contractor in several specialisation areas in the civil-construction universe, increasing its competitiveness. Its service portfolio has grown to cover civil construction, infrastructures, precast assembly, geomembrane application, sound barriers, and undertaking business and rehabilitation. The company states that it is prepared to innovate the services that are provided to respond to the different necessities of clients or of the markets in which Arouconstrói is inserted.
