What INCOSA does

INCOSA (legal name Investigación y Control de Calidad S.A. Unipersonal) is a privately held Spanish engineering and consulting firm founded in 1985 in Ponferrada by José Vega, with its registered headquarters in Parque Tecnológico Boecillo, Valladolid. The firm delivers project-based engineering services across five verticals — Building, Infrastructure, Industry & Energy, Environment, and IT — serving both Spanish public-sector clients (public hospitals, AENA airports, ADIF high-speed rail, Red Eléctrica) and private enterprises in energy, construction, and real estate. It operates from offices across Spain (Valladolid, Madrid, León, Murcia, Valencia, Manresa/Barcelona, A Coruña, Santa Cruz de Tenerife) and Latin America (Bogotá, Lima, Managua), with claimed project experience spanning 35+ countries.

The service offering covers the full project lifecycle: strategic consulting, feasibility studies, conceptual and detailed engineering, technical supervision, construction management, quality control, environmental inspection, and operation/maintenance support. Technology assets include three proprietary tools — INVENT (web-based heritage/asset inventory management), Planetario (GIS tool built on the MicroStation platform for georeferenced information), and Tramit@ (administrative procedure management) — plus the Mediotec subsidiary, which holds ENAC accreditation under UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 for soil and groundwater environmental inspection. The group has accumulated ISO certifications across 9001 (quality), 14001 (environment), 45001 (occupational H&S), 19650 (BIM information management), and 37001 (anti-bribery) in Spain, Colombia, and Peru, and operates a Carbon Footprint Registry seal from Spain's Ministry for Ecological Transition.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional-services engagements billed on a project-based, quote-driven basis to B2B and B2G clients, won through competitive public procurement and direct enterprise negotiations. The group structure includes wholly-owned subsidiaries GEOCONSULT España Ingenieros Consultores and MEDIOTEC Consultores, plus regional entities in Colombia, Peru, and Nicaragua; the recent integration of Valladolid-based Quinto Armónico (September 2025) and the announced merger with JG Ingenieros (June 2026) will take combined headcount to 800+. Since January 2025, Waterland Private Equity has held a majority stake, partnering with founder-shareholder Gerardo Gutiérrez (Gutinver), founder José Vega, and the management team led by CEO Javier Cid, who all retain equity participation.
