A company with more than 50 years of experience in the areas of Engineering and Construction, which has the right people, the know-how and the experience to develop the vision of our clients, by idealizing and executing the most challenging projects.
In 1969, ZAGOPE was awarded its first project work: the Odivelas Dam, a project that shows the excellence of the work carried out and that became its business card for future quality projects.
In 1988, the company was acquired by the Brazilian group Andrade Gutierrez S. A., and its corporate name was changed. This acquisition resulted in the of the diversification of the type of projects the company executed, such as; metros, airports, tunnels, among others. Thus, in the years that followed, the company was able to consolidate its position in the national market of civil construction and public works.
