Regea

What Regea does

Regea is a Brazilian environmental and geotechnical consulting firm headquartered in São Paulo that delivers professional services across geology, engineering, geotechnics, and environmental studies. The company has been operating continuously since 1998, executing more than 1,000 projects across 18 Brazilian states covering all 5 regions, with international project delivery in Argentina, El Salvador, Nigeria, and Panama since 2015. Its service surface is organized around 12 specialized competency modules, including environmental licensing, business environmental management, territorial and urban planning, water resource management, contaminated-area management and hydrogeology, remediation, protected areas, climate change, geological-geotechnical investigation, natural disaster risk management (including Municipal Risk Reduction Plans), and GIS/geoprocessing with drone-based LiDAR aerial surveying.

The underlying technology stack is a mix of in-house data acquisition and specialized analysis: drone-based LiDAR using the DJI Matrice 300 RTK with a Zenmuse L1 sensor (operated under Ministry of Defense Category A accreditation with ANAC, DECEA, and ANATEL compliance), DGPS data acquisition, geophysical surveys (electrical resistivity, spontaneous potential, electromagnetic, GPR, magnetometry, gravimetry), standard penetration testing, bathymetric surveys, GIS and geoprocessing, and numerical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. Multidisciplinary teams of geologists, geographers, engineers, biologists, environmental technicians, economists, lawyers, and administrators execute the work, supported by an ISO 9001-certified quality management system.

Regea generates revenue on a fee-for-service, project-by-project basis through direct engagement with government agencies and private enterprises and through competitive public tenders. The customer base is dominated by Brazilian public-sector entities at federal, state, and municipal levels (Governo de São Paulo, Metrô, Ministry of Integration, DER/SP, DAEE-SP, INEMA, AGEVAP, DERSA, Prefeitura do Guarujá), with a smaller cohort of private enterprise clients (TBG, Camargo Corrêa Infra, Center Norte, VALE VERDE). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by participation in public tenders, with a 20-partner association ecosystem (KW Ambiental, AD Ambiental, Clean, GeoAcqua, Leven, ALS Global, CEIMIC, Maccaferri, and others) extending delivery capacity. No funding rounds, M&A, or pricing tier disclosures are present in the data.
