OHL North America

What OHL North America does

OHL North America (operating as OHLA USA) is the North American infrastructure and construction subsidiary of Spain-based OHLA Group (Obrascón Huarte Lain), headquartered in Queens, New York. The company delivers complex vertical construction and civil infrastructure projects for federal, state, and local government agencies across the United States, with occasional commercial engagements (e.g., Nicklaus Children's Hospital). Its portfolio spans four market sectors — Vertical Construction (commercial, cultural, education, healthcare, senior living), Transportation (aviation, bridges, rail/mass transit, roads, tunnels, electrical & signal systems, resiliency & recovery), Renewable Energy (solar), and Environmental (water) — supported by service capabilities in Building Information Modeling (BIM), Construction Management, Design-Build Contracting, General Contracting, LEED Contracting, and Preconstruction.

The company executes projects through six delivery methods — Bid-Build, Construction Management At Risk (CMAR), Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC), Design-Build, Design-Build-Finance, and Public-Private Partnerships (PPP/P3) — and actively pursues joint-venture partnering arrangements to access large procurements. Its core digital technology is BIM, used for design coordination and project visualization, complemented by LEED-certified sustainable construction practices.

Revenue is generated primarily from one-time, project-based construction contracts (fixed-price, cost-plus, and PPP models), with PPP/P3 arrangements introducing a managed-services-style revenue stream through long-term concessions. The company pursues customers through direct enterprise field sales into government agencies, competitive bidding on public RFPs, and JV/PPP structures. The firm does not publicly disclose revenue, backlog, or ownership/financial detail beyond its parent affiliation, and there is no disclosed private equity, public listing, or recent funding activity in the source material.
