What TYPSA does

TYPSA (Técnica y Proyectos S.A.) is a privately held Spanish engineering consultancy founded in 1967 and headquartered in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Madrid, operating across 9 geographic regions including Spain, Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. The firm provides end-to-end engineering services across transport infrastructure (roads, railways, metro, airports, ports), water engineering (hydraulic works, desalination, wastewater), buildings and cities (education, healthcare, residential, commercial), energy and industry (wind, solar, hydro, transmission), and environment. Multi-year project-based engagements with government agencies and large enterprises are secured through public tenders, framework agreements (e.g., the 5-year SWPC concession covering 14 desalination plants and 12 wastewater plants), and joint ventures, with named institutional clients including AENA, ADIF, Bankinter, Iberdrola, Ferrovial, SWPC, the Costa Rican healthcare trust, Al-Imam University, and CSIC.

The company's core technology stack includes proprietary platforms developed and operated through subsidiaries: GIO (an expert system for comprehensive construction management, deployed since 1995 in 550+ contracts covering EUR 40+ billion of supervised works, with embedded AI for automated analysis), PVGRAD (a 3D simulation platform with patented algorithms for solar plant design optimization), GOLID and Gestioma (structural monitoring platforms integrating thousands of IoT sensors into digital twins of critical infrastructure), Alexandria (corporate AI knowledge retrieval), and SKY LIMPIEZA (operational management application). TYPSA Digital Solutions (TDS) is the wholly-owned subsidiary responsible for digital twin development, software development, AI/ML data governance, BIM/GIS integration, and custom engineering software, holding ISO 9001 certification for software development.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in multi-year professional services engagements billed on project scope, duration, and team requirements. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates through six core service lines (Transport, Water, Buildings, Energy, Environment, Digital Services) with horizontal segmentation, supported by a wholly-owned subsidiary portfolio (Intemac for structural instrumentation, Teknés for monitoring telecom, MEXTYPSA for dams, EDG Consulting in Australia, TYPSA Digital Solutions, and Fundación TYPSA). Strategic differentiators cited include 60 years of accumulated expertise, deep institutional client relationships, proprietary digital platforms with patented IP, and an integrated digital-physical engineering offering.
