Proteção Engenharia

What Proteção Engenharia does

Proteção Engenharia is a Brazilian specialty engineering services firm headquartered in Fortaleza, Ceará, founded in 2006 to deliver waterproofing and structural recovery solutions for the residential, corporate, commercial, and industrial segments. The company operates six core service lines: on-site waterproofing execution, waterproofing project design following Brazilian technical standards, technical consulting on existing pathologies and infiltrations, retrofit of expired systems, structural injection for cracks and fissures using epoxy, polyurethane foam, and polyurethane gel resins, and reinforced-concrete structural recovery. Services are delivered by trained technical teams using specialty products such as asphalt and liquid membranes, primers, polymer mortars, geotextiles, and resins sourced in part from technology partner MC Bauchemie.

The business runs an enterprise field-sales motion, engaging clients through direct project-based quote-based contracts with multi-year billing cadences. Complementing the engineering services, sister company Proteção Comércio functions as a technical resale channel, supplying waterproofing and complementary construction products together with specification and dimensioning guidance, which extends the company's value capture from pure execution into product distribution. The customer base spans more than 20 named enterprise and government accounts across industrial manufacturing (Fábrica Fortaleza, Cimento Apodi), utilities (ETA Cagece), healthcare (Hospital São Mateus, Hospital São Camilo, Fiocruz), hospitality (Vila Galé, Beach Park Suítes, Hotel Ibis Praia de Iracema), retail (Rio Mar Fortaleza, Shopping Parangaba, Pague Menos 1.000), real estate (BS Design, BS Tower, Aquiraz Riviera), and government (TRE, VAPT VUPT) verticals, with project references in Ceará, Pará, and Rio de Janeiro. The company remains privately held, founder/management-controlled, with no institutional investors or external funding rounds disclosed.
