Title A name given to the resource General Contractor Firm Head Office Location Rua Daciano Baptista Marques, 245, Lake Towers D, Piso 3, 4400-617 Vila Nova Gaia - Portugal Foundation Date 1918 Founded by <a href="http://portugalbuilds.org/items/show/5">José Soares da Costa</a> Profile Any textual data included in the document In 1918, José Soares da Costa founded the company in Rua do Almada, Porto. It began by having only 10 workers, dedicating themselves mainly to the execution of high-quality finishings and fine gold paintings, a technique that José Soares da Costa learned in France. The first commercial registration is from 1925, at the Oporto Commercial Registry Office, under the individual name of the founder. The name of the company changed several times. In 1938 the name changed to "Viúva de José Soares da Costa", in 1944 to "Soares da Costa Lda.", in 1968 to "Sociedade de Construções Soares da Costa, SARL" and in 1988 to "Sociedade de Construções Soares da Costa, SA". At the end of the 20th century, Soares da Costa was already dedicating itself also to the construction sector, concessions and real estate.  It was in the construction, especially with the technology of "cofragem túnel", that the company found the door leading to a continuous growth. In the 1960s Soares da Costa expanded its activity to the whole Portuguese territory and in the early 1980s it began its international expansion, starting with Venezuela and Guinea-Bissau. It is also in the same decade that, by taking advantage of the growth of infrastructures in the country that the European Community announced, the company's activity is extended to the construction of infrastructures. Now the company was widening its spectrum of buildings, including roads, bridges, overpasses, railways, WWTPs, hospitals, schools, office buildings and residential buildings. In 1988, following a change in the internal shareholding, the company went throught a period of greater exposure to the financial market, even so it didn't lose its family character. During the 1980s and 1990s, the Company's international activity diversified and exports grew, being present in Iraq, Macao, Egypt, Guyana, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Germany. The Company entered the US market in 1994 with the formation of SDC Contractor Inc. In 2002 a new restructuring took place which led to the creation of the economic group "Soares da Costa, SGPS, SA", replacing "Sociedade de Construções Soares da Costa, SA", which in turn fully owns the four other holding companies, each heading the holdings of the respective business segment. For example, "Soares da Costa Construção, SGPS, SA" has the mission of managing the entire construction business.

Birth Date 1886-10-15 Birthplace Lisboa Death Date 1959-06-01 Training Institution Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) Occupation Entrepreneur Civil Engineer Biographical Text Ricardo Esquivel Teixeira Duarte was born on October 10, 1886, in Lisbon. Son of Joaquim Teotónio Teixeira Duarte and Maria da Conceição Teixeira Duarte, he married Maria José da Graça Teixeira Duarte, with whom he had three children. He graduated in civil engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). At the same time as he was practicing civil engineering, manifested through his interventions in the Port of Lisbon, in 1921 he founded a foundations and soundings company (Empresa de Sondagens e Fundações Teixeira Duarte, Lda), which later became Teixeira Duarte SA. He was president of the Engineering Section of the Engineers Association, integrating the Corporate Chamber. In this context, he represented the construction companies during the IV legislature, between 1945 and 1949. From this period, it stands out his opinion on the Port of Lisbon, reflected in the text Melhoramentos no Porto de Lisboa. In the V legislature, he continued his work on the 9th section of construction and building materials, adding the intervention in the 8th section of electricity and fuels, in the 11th section of transport and tourism and in the 23rd section of public works and communications. In the framework of these responsibilities, he also wrote his opinions on different topics, present in the texts Conservação dos Edifícios Escolares, Regulamento Geral de Edificações and Estatuto do Turismo. During this period, he served as president of the Board of Directors of the Engineers Association, appointed for the three-year period 1950-52 and succeeding Belard da Fonseca. During his tenure as president, Ricardo Teixeira Duarte dealt with some obstacles, namely the growing unemployment of engineers and the first symptoms of a unanimous division of engineers. However, his leadership is also highlighted by the positive performance of the different sections, increasing its initiative capacity. It was also during his term that the publication of the Boletim da Ordem dos Engenheiros began, with the first issue published in January 1951. On January 15, 1952, Teixeira Duarte wrote to the Board of Directors stating that he no longer had the conditions to continue commanding the destinies of the Association, ending functions on July 21 of the same year. Other milestones of his political-administrative career are manifested, for example, by integrating, as a technician, in the Physiocratic Services of the Ministry of Agriculture. He was also chief engineer of the Roads Direction of the Faro District and, finally, vowel of the High Council of Public Works. Ricardo Esquivel Teixeira Duarte died in 1959.

Title A name given to the resource General Contractor Firm Head Office Location Avenida Marechal Gomes da Costa, Lote 8, 1849-019 Lisboa, Portugal Foundation Date 1932 Closure Date 2008 Profile Any textual data included in the document In 1932 OPCA, Obras Públicas e Cimento Armado S.A. was founded by José Praça, Manuel Godinho and Luís Soares. Although the beginning of the company’s history dates back to 1926, with the construction of several works, such as the Chapel of the La Salette Sanctuary, in Oliveira de Azeméis, it was only in 1931 that its founders opened an office in Porto and only in March of 1932 that the company was officialy founded. In the 1930s, its activity was mainly in the construction of buildings, industrial facilities, factories, bridges and roads and at the end of the decade its activity was extended to the whole national territory, being an example of one of its works at the time the Urbanization of the Forest Park of Monsanto. During the 1940s, OPCA was present in the main Portuguese engineering works, with emphasis on the participation of the Lisbon underground, which became one of the emblematic areas of intervention starred by the company. In the 1950s and 1960s, OPCA continued to increase its experience as a global engineering company, reinforcing its involvement in industrial and hydraulic works and, in the 1970s, also in housing buildings and hospitals. From the 1980s onwards, the company began an upward trajectory, with a focus on diversifying the activity. OPCA consolidated the area of construction, betting on the specialized infrastructures and technical constructions and guaranteeing its presence, still in the construction sector, on geotechnical and engineering foundations. The company also entered on new business areas, through participation in real estate, environment (industrial waste management) and telecommunications (infrastructures). It was also in the 1980s that the process of internationalization of the company began, through its presence in Macao, Angola and Mozambique. OPCA was one of the most prestigious Portuguese companies to work in the engineering, civil construction and public works sector between 1932 and 2008. In 2008 the company joined SOPOL to form Opway.

A few days larter he established a branch of the company in Angola, where he immediately and exclusively pursued his activities until 1974. Mota & Companhia worked in the area of exploration and transformation of wood and, from 1948, cumulatively, in the area of Construction and Public works. Headquartered in Cabinda, Angola, its first major reference in construction was the Luanda International Airport, current 4 de fevereiro Airport, planned in 1952. During the 1970s, the company internationalized to countries other than Angola, such as Namibia, Botswana or Swaziland. However, in the following decades the company was able to spread to other territories. In Africa, it expanded to Gabon, Mozambique, Malawi and Cape Verde, where it left its mark on the construction of Praia airport. In Europe, it arrived in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. In the 90's the company would also arrive to Latin America, in a partnership that enhanced the future merger with Engil. With a vast activity in Africa and with a deep connection especially with Angola, in 1976 Mota & Companhia relaunched its activity in Portugal. Despite having built the Lucefecit Dam in Alandroal in 1976, it was with the Baixo Mondego hydraulic works in 1978 that the company affirmed itself in the national territory, with an investment around 39 million euros. Continuing its activity in Portugal, the company made part of the consortium of the EXPO 98's Vasco da Gama bridge, over the Tagus River. On July 23, 1999, the companies owned by Mota family launched a takeover bid for the entire capital of Engil SGPS, which resulted in the birth of the Mota-Engil Group as we know it today. This operation had a major impact on the construction sector, becoming the largest construction company operating in Portugal, leading also in the area of services (through Mota-Engil Ambiente e Serviços) and a in the transport concessions sector.

Title A name given to the resource General Contractor Firm Head Office Location Cabeço da Rosa 2670-662 Bucelas, Loures, Portugal Foundation Date 1946 Founded by <a href="http://portugalbuilds.org/items/show/221">Joaquim Fonseca</a> <a href="http://portugalbuilds.org/items/show/24">Manuel António da Mota</a> José Joaquim Fonseca Afonso Fonseca Eulálio José Fonseca Joaquim da Mota José Luís da Mota Profile Any textual data included in the document Founded in January 1946 in Amarante, Porto district, Construtora do Tâmega S.A. is one of the largest companies in the Civil Construction and Public Works sector in Portugal. In the year of its founding by the Fonseca and Mota families, dedicating the company to the construction and public works, Mota & Companhia was founded by Manuel António da Mota, focused on woodworking. Although they had matching partners, the two companies went their separate ways. Unlike Mota & Companhia, Construtora do Tâmega would concentrate its attention on the mainland of Portugal. Its first work would be precisely in the infrastructure sector, with the adjudication of the fourth section of EN8 between Valado and Alcobaça. However, many other works are a reference of the company, such as the Funchal airport, the Beira and Maputo airport or even, at the end of the millennium, the Portuguese pavilion for EXPO'98. In the 1950s and 1960s the company began its internationalization, expanding its activity first to the colonies, namely Mozambique and Angola, and later to other areas of the globe, such as Spain, Jordan and Côte d'Ivoire. During this period, specifically in 1977, Manuel António da Mota separated from the company to dedicate himself entirely to Mota & Companhia, leaving the fate of the company to the Fonseca family and his brothers, José Luís and Joaquim Mota. The extension of its activity is also evident in the intervention areas, starting in the 1970s works on the hydroelectric branch, of which the Crestuma Dam, in the council of Vila Nova de Gaia, is a reference. Its diversification was also extended to the area of transport, housing, commerce, sport, industry and tourism, and many of its works were distinguished by the Engineers Association. In 2007, Construtora do Tâmega was acquired by the Finertec Group and currently operates in Portugal, Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, Congo-Brazzaville and more recently in Nigeria.

Title A name given to the resource General Contractor Firm Head Office Location Rua da Tapada da Quinta de Cima, Linhó, 2714-555 Sintra, Portugal Foundation Date 1947 Founded by <a href="http://portugalbuilds.org/items/show/25">José Queiroz Vaz Guedes</a> <a href="http://portugalbuilds.org/items/show/238">Bernardo Ernesto Moniz da Maia</a> Closure Date 2004 Profile Any textual data included in the document Somague dates back to 1947, when José Vaz Guedes and Bernardo Ernesto Moniz da Maia founded a company. In this first year the company assumed the designation of Moniz da Maia, Duarte & Vaz Guedes, Lda. However, this same name would mutate several times during the second half of the twentieth century, mainly due to splits within the company. The company emerged in response to the anticipated post-war recovery, coupled with strong public investment in major infrastructures, including dams, ports, viaducts, bridges and roads. In the same year of its founding, José Vaz Guedes's company signed its first work, the Castelo de Bode Dam, one of the most important in the Zêzere river and one of the largest in the country. The company's range of work increased, passing by the construction of bridges, for example the Vale da Ursa Bridge, on the Zêzere river, or even the construction of ports, such as the Funchal Port. Its first international project, the Açude Bridge over the Limpopo River, in Mozambique, was also a big milestone for the company’s first years. Its quick growth resulted in the expansion to other specialties or businesses through the participation or integration of Portuguese and international companies. Examples of this initiative are the creation of Mague in 1952, the creation, in 1986, of Ediçor for the Azores market, a 45% stake in CVC (Construções de Cabo Verde) in 1990, the acquisition of 50% of Habitar in Angola and 80% of the company Sogel in Mozambique in 1999 and, finally, the control in 2002 of the company specializing in the railway market, Neopul. Gradually the company grew and became a specialist in various areas, intervening in various locations. From 1952, the company undergoes several structural changes, changing its name to Moniz da Maia & Vaz Guedes, Lda. and transforming it in a limited liability company, in 1965. In 1969, the Vaz Guedes family acquired the entire capital of the company, renaming it Sociedade de Empreitadas Somague. Finally, in 1998, the merger of Somague with Soconstroi gave way to Somague Engenharia SA, one of the largest Portuguese construction and public works company. In the year 2000, Somague joined the Sacyr Vallehermoso Group, a business group that was bringing together several leading companies in different segments. Finally, in 2004, Somague was fully integrated into the group resulting in a larger and stronger business group with excellent business potential and the ability to compete on a different scale, a scale not only restricted to the domestic market or the former Portuguese “ultramar”, namely Angola and Mozambique.

Title A name given to the resource General Contractor Firm Head Office Location Avenida da República, 83, 7º, 1050- 053 Lisboa, Portugal Foundation Date 1947 Founded by <a href="http://portugalbuilds.org/items/show/12">Sociedade de Obras Públicas e Cimento Armado, Lda.</a> Hermínio Cláudio da Costa de Oliveira Basto António Jorge de Oliveira Maia Manuel Correia Monteiro Fernando Brito Pereira José Augusto Teixeira URL <a href="http://www.construtores.novopca.pt/#historia/historia.htm">History</a> <a href="http://www.construtores.novopca.pt/#obras/obrasrealizadas.htm">Construction Works</a> Profile Any textual data included in the document NOVOPCA was founded in 1947 as an affiliate of OPCA, Obras Públicas e Cimento Armado SA. Being a majority partner, and having as representative Manuel Godinho, one of the founders of OPCA, the company from Porto followed the growth of its affiliate, including working on joint works. Headquartered in Lisbon, NOVOPCA gradually moved away from its home company. Its activity began in Lisbon with the Alvalade neighborhood, followed by the works of the 1st section of the Lisbon Metro, from Sete Rios to Rossio and Entre Campos to Avenida. The engineering background of its founding partners also led to specialization in the bridge and viaduct sector, such as the Santa Clara Bridge in Coimbra, the Geres Bridges over the Cávado and Caldo rivers, the Rainha Santa Isabel Bridge in Coimbra, the Sousa River Bridge, the Frade and Agudim Viaducts on A1, and the Tâmega River Bridge on A4, and in the industrial sector, including the General Motors Portugal Facilities and the Factory and Grinding Silos of Alhandra. However, the company built many other undeniable symbols of architecture, such as the Navy Museum and the Calouste Gulbenkian Planetarium, both in Lisbon. The consequences of the crisis in the sector, which began in the mid-1970s, lead to a radical change in the Company's activity, which started to focus also on construction and social housing, as exemplified by the developments of São Pedro da Cova and Carcavelos, both in Porto, and Ingote, in Coimbra. The company expanded its operations, making room for the real estate market through the creation of NOVOPCA Imobiliária. As part of Expo 98, the company built pavilions of participating countries and reordered the José Queiroz Square, and, as part of Euro 2004, the company participated in the construction of Alvalade XXI Stadium, being responsible for the roof masts and finishing’s. With the recent financial crisis, the company has profoundly restructured its organizational model and diversified its activity to the international market, especially in Angola, Brazil and Mozambique. The company is still active to this day.
