Birth Date 12/02/1915 Birthplace Lisboa Death Date 02/1997 Training Institution Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) Occupation Engineer Entrepreneur Biographical Text Henrique Burnay Morales de los Rios Leitão was born on February 12, 1915, in Lisbon. He was the descendant and great-grandson of the 1st Count Burnay, Henrique Forgeur Burnay who, in turn, married in 1863 to D. Maria Amélia de Carvalho. He married Maria Joana Folque de Mendoça, descendant of the Duke of Loulé, on January 26, 1929, in Lisbon. He graduated from the Instituto Superior Técnico in civil engineering. He started his professional career at Teixeira Duarte, a company where he worked for about nine years. In this company he developed the activity of special foundations, drilling and geotechnical prospecting. One of his first interventions was the execution of the foundations for the Bridge over the Sado river, in Alcácer do Sal. In this company he managed to develop several professional contacts, namely Engineer Carmona, at the time responsible for the supervision of roads, Engineer Marinho Falcão, responsible for the foundation of Teixeira Duarte's subsidiary in Angola, and also Engineer Jesus Pires, also responsible for the foundation of a company in Lobito, Angola, developing there the method of cylinders descended by “havage”. Thus, engineer Henrique Leitão quickly created a network of knowledges not only with those he met in the professional field at the beginning of his career, but also with colleagues from the faculty. In 1946 he did a working internship in the E. Freyssinet bureau in France and another with Professor G. Magnel in Belgium. In the same year he founded the construction company “Construções Técnicas”. The company also started with two other shareholders, the brothers Rodrigo Castro Pereira and Nuno Castro Pereira. The engineer’s strategy was simple, the constitution of a company that elaborated the project and the consequent construction of major works in the country's landscape, especially regarding the period of “Estado Novo” and the Public Works policy inherent to the regime. In addition to founder of the company, Henrique Burnay Leitão was involved in several works of the company as a responsible engineer, namely at Ponte 25 de Abril in Lisbon, in the reconstruction of the National Theater D. Maria II, also in Lisbon, and at the Marina of Vilamoura in the Algarve . With the revolution of April 1974, the company drastically changed course, being the management alienated. The company suffered damage in production by the state’s intervention. He was even forced to go into exile outside the country, having returned when the Portuguese political turmoil subsided. Henrique Burnay Leitão died in February 1997, in Estoril. A year later the company he founded officially declared bankruptcy, ending the business legacy of the engineer and descendant of the Burnay County. Bibliography BOAVIDA, J. (2018). Livro das CT.
