What Audeca does

Audeca is the specialized infrastructure maintenance and environmental conservation subsidiary of Spain's Elecnor Group, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Getafe (Madrid metropolitan area). The company operates exclusively in a business-to-government (B2G) model, providing comprehensive road infrastructure maintenance, environmental services, and specialized structural rehabilitation to Spanish public administrations including the Ministry of Transports, regional governments (Galicia, Madrid, Andalucía, Castilla y León), municipal authorities (e.g., Ayuntamiento de Getafe), and infrastructure operators such as ADIF (railways). Audeca currently maintains over 4,000 kilometers of highways and has treated more than 20,000 hectares of forestry, supported by a fleet of 140+ specialized vehicles and a workforce of 251-500 employees.

The company operates three integrated business divisions: Environmental Works and Services (forestry management, waste collection, street cleaning, green area maintenance, water management); Conservation and Infrastructure Works (highway and road maintenance, road safety, urban works); and Structure Restoration and Specialized Civil Engineering (hydrodemolition, slope stabilization, tunnel rehabilitation, structural reinforcement, lifting/shoring, waterproofing). Technical capabilities include robotic hydrodemolition equipment (diesel and electric-powered systems with pumps up to 2,800 bar), certified drone-based inspection operations, and a teledetection methodology (Project ENTORNO, CDTI-funded) using multispectral biosensors and weather forecasting for predictive vegetation management. The company holds ISO certifications covering quality (9001), environment (14001), occupational health and safety (45001), road safety (39001), and innovation management (56001).

Audeca generates revenue through long-term managed services contracts awarded via competitive public tendering, with pricing negotiated on a project-by-project basis and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The company has formed joint ventures (UTEs) for large-scale projects including water management in Ólvega (Soria) and tunnel rehabilitation works across northern Madrid districts. As a wholly-owned subsidiary (S.L.U.) of Elecnor — a diversified Spanish conglomerate operating in 50+ countries with 20,000+ professionals — Audeca benefits from group-level back-office support, cross-subsidiary synergies, and corporate compliance certifications, while operating with a domestic Spanish geographic focus.
