Who we are
INGETURARTE, SL, has been providing structural engineering services since its creation in January 2005.
Structural analysis, designs, and construction assistance have been developed for works located in Spain and other countries, such as Poland, Mexico, Morocco, Georgia or Switzerland.
We have the capability to work on many structural materials, experience in working with concrete, prestressed concrete, steel, composite concrete-steel and glass fiber reinforced concrete. We provide analysis and design to a great variety of: prestressed concrete and composite bridges, footbridges or buildings.
INGETURARTE, SL works are mainly for the private sector.
Today, our most important clients are important civil contractors such as DRAGADOS, from ACS Group or VSL Construction Systems, but also Architects that want a structural design that respect the functionality of the spaces they define. Short term structural expertise for EPTISA is being developing now days.
The consulting services we provides are usually for building purposes. So in addition to the analysis and design definitions, we use to propose one or more constructive processes.
We have recently completed the structural rehabilitation of a cable-stayed structure in Albacete. An international patent for abutment bridge joints is being developed. Innovative construction methods have been implemented, like a demolition of a concrete support without using jacks.
