SOCOTEC is an expert company in Building Engineering. We participate in all phases of a high-level project, from conception to completion.

We accompany our clients throughout the life cycle of a project, from conception to construction and maintenance

From conception to construction and maintenance with a view to sustainability, circular economy and zero impact on CO2 emissions

We offer our customers a global service. We are present throughout the life cycle of a project, from the initial stages (technical Due Diligence, feasibility studies, topography, geotechnics, consultancy, quality control and inspections), to the stages of building operation (operational support), through the project, construction and rehabilitation phases, also providing support in the bidding process of the works and in technical audits.

In addition, our expertise in Building Engineering allows us to specialise in technical areas such as health and safety coordination, as well as specialised services such as fluid dynamics (engineering for fire, water or wind), performance studies, CFD and seismic-resistance studies, thermal simulations, studies and determination of consumption, optimisation of materials.

Structural engineering for buildings

Ingeniería Edificación

Structural engineering is essential to ensure the safety and stability of any building. Our team of structural engineers has the experience and knowledge necessary to design robust and efficient structural systems that withstand the specific loads and conditions of the environment. From foundation analysis and design to determining materials and construction methods, we are committed to providing innovative and cost-effective solutions that meet the most demanding technical and regulatory requirements. Some of our success stories in structures are emblematic buildings such as Frank Gehry's Hotel Arts, Jean Nouvel's Glories Tower or David Chipperfield's City of Justice.
