Arendal

What Arendal does

Arendal is a Mexican EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor founded in 1995 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, operating across four primary verticals: oil and gas, energy, infrastructure, and mining. The company delivers complex industrial infrastructure projects including onshore and offshore pipeline construction (up to 48 inches in diameter), horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and land-sea shore approaches, subsea construction to 120-125 meter depths, industrial plant construction, power generation facilities, electrical transmission infrastructure, civil works, and mining processing plants. Its core technology platform is SIGA (Sistema Integral de Gestión Arendal), a proprietary integrated management system incorporating 3D electronic modeling and planning tools, supplemented by what the company describes as Latin America's largest HDD equipment fleet including directional drilling rigs with 1 million pounds of pull force — making it the only regional contractor capable of direct execution for both terrestrial and marine scopes.

Arendal serves large enterprise and government clients including TC Energy, Kinder Morgan, New Fortress Energy, Hokchi Energy, CFE (Mexico's federal electricity commission), and Barrick, executing project-based contracts valued in the millions to tens of millions of dollars per engagement. The company maintains offices in Monterrey (headquarters), Mexico City (business development), Ciudad del Carmen/Campeche (offshore works), Santo Domingo (Caribbean and Central America regional HQ), and Bogotá (South America regional HQ), with operating presence in Costa Rica and Jamaica. Revenue is generated through one-time EPC contracts awarded through direct enterprise sales and competitive bidding, with pricing custom and quote-based for each project given the bespoke nature of industrial infrastructure work.

The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 (Quality), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety) certifications from DNV, along with ISN membership enabling access to major oil and gas procurement platforms. Over 25 years, Arendal has completed 120-125 projects including 50+ directional crossings and the last 7 Land-Sea shore approaches built in Mexico. Headcount is reported in the 5,001-10,000 range. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company structure.
