What TILTS does
TILTS (SIA TILTS) is a privately held Latvian civil engineering and manufacturing company founded in 1989 in Riga, providing full-cycle infrastructure delivery — from design through commissioning — for bridges, overpasses, tunnels, industrial buildings, and hydroelectric plants across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. The company employs more than 400 staff including 50+ engineers and operates the largest piling equipment fleet in the Baltics, comprising seven BAUER rigs (BG 15 through BG 45 Premium line) plus a barge for water-based piling, enabling bored pile installation up to 96 meters deep and vibration-free operation in urban environments.
The company is vertically integrated: beyond construction services, TILTS manufactures reinforced concrete elements, steel structures, and reinforcement cages at its Spilves iela 18 facility in Riga, holding EN 1090-1:2009+A1:2011 EXC4 welding certification for steel and CE marking/Nordcert certification for reinforced concrete. It is also the exclusive Baltic representative for DELTABLOC road safety barrier systems (since 2015) and ARE Telecom ballast foundations and monopole masts for the Baltics, Scandinavia, Poland, and Ukraine. Other technical capabilities include Crosshole Sonic Logging and Dynamic Load Testing for pile integrity, executed to LVS EN 1997-1 / ISO/DIS 22477-1 standards.
TILTS monetizes via project-based contracts (won through public tenders and direct negotiations with municipalities, water utilities, and state-owned energy companies like Latvenergo) and unit-priced manufacturing sales to external construction firms. Major contracts include a €5.56 million water and sewage network reconstruction for Rīgas Ūdens through 2028, hydroelectric station reconstruction at multiple Latvian HES sites, and municipal landscaping work. A recent EU/NextGenerationEU-funded digital transformation project (2023–2024) automated concrete batch preparation and delivery, and two solar installations (2024 and 2026) bring on-site generation to ~497 kWp targeting full self-consumption at the manufacturing facility.

Revenue model
- Construction services (bridges, tunnels, industrial buildings): Core revenue from engineering construction projects — bridge, overpass, tunnel construction and reconstruction, industrial building construction, utility infrastructure. Projects are delivered from design through commissioning. Revenue is project-based, typically via public/private tenders. Major contracts such as the €5.56M Mangaļsala water/sewage network project exemplify this stream.
- Manufacturing (reinforced concrete, steel structures, reinforcement): In-house production of reinforced concrete elements, steel structures, and reinforcement products for use in own construction projects and for external customers. The company operates certified production facilities producing beams, columns, wall panels, stairs, foundations, and custom non-standard products. This stream serves both as a cost center for construction operations and a standalone revenue generator through third-party sales.
- ARE Telecom telecom infrastructure products (Baltic distribution): As official ARE Telecom representative for the Baltic states, Scandinavia, Poland, and Ukraine, TILTS distributes and installs patented ballast foundations and mono-mast systems for telecommunications infrastructure. Revenue from product sales, installation, and associated services for telecom operators and infrastructure companies.
- DELTABLOC road safety barriers (Baltic distribution): As official DELTABLOC representative in the Baltic states since 2015, TILTS distributes road safety barrier systems including permanent barriers, temporary work zone barriers, noise barriers, and urban barriers. Revenue from product supply and installation.
