Mota-Engil Engenharia

On 29 June 1946, Manuel António da Mota founded Mota & Companhia in Amarante. In 2000, with the acquisition of Engil, the Mota-Engil Group was born; today it is present in 23 countries on three continents.

In Portugal, the Group operates through Mota-Engil Engenharia e Construção, which describes itself as the industry-leading Portuguese construction company and a benchmark in the European market. Its works include the Vasco da Gama Bridge (1998), the Champalimaud Foundation (2010) and the EDP headquarters (2015), in Lisbon, and the Alto Lindoso Dam (1991), in Viana do Castelo.

It builds infrastructure, such as roads, railways, bridges, dams, airports and ports, and buildings, and has specialised areas such as special foundations, geotechnics, prestressing, precast elements, concrete and asphalt mixes.
