Aquasolis Soluções Construtivas

What Aquasolis Soluções Construtivas does

Aquasolis Soluções Construtivas is a privately held Brazilian construction solutions provider founded in 1990 by civil engineer Mário, headquartered in Mário Campos, Minas Gerais. The company designs, manufactures, and rents metal formwork, shoring, scaffolding, and access systems for the civil construction sector, and through its subsidiary RB Pré-moldados also executes prefabricated concrete construction including buildings, infrastructure, containers, and social housing. Its core product portfolio spans five families: Fôrmas (modular, sliding, and custom concrete forms including Fôrma TP and Fôrma AA Framaq), Escoramentos (AQ Flex slab shoring with drophead technology, industrial triangular-frame shoring rated to 5 tons per post, steel props, and special shoring), Andaimes (multidirectional, tube/clamp, and facade scaffolding), Escadas de Acesso (MRB modular access ladders and pedestrian bridges), and the proprietary Sistema Auto Elevatório (SAE) — a hydraulic self-elevating platform that rises with the concrete structure at 1.2–1.5 meters per day. Aquasolis operates a 48,000 m² prefabricated factory with capacity for 250 m³ of concrete per day, and its custom formwork capability covers complex geometries including tunnels, dam penstock elbows, square-to-circular transitions, and arch segments.

The company generates revenue through four streams: equipment rental (formwork, scaffolding, shoring, access ladders) with technical assistance and project dimensioning included; direct product sales via subsidiary HIR (vendashir.com.br e-commerce); prefabricated construction execution via RB Pré-moldados; and construction services via ARN Engenharia. Its primary customers are large Brazilian construction companies, municipal governments (prefeituras), and industrial clients across infrastructure, commercial, and residential segments. Distribution is national in scope and direct-sales led — quote-based pricing, WhatsApp/phone outreach, multi-channel digital presence (website, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, TikTok), and field-based commercial teams serving enterprise accounts throughout Brazil. Aquasolis markets itself as offering one of the most complete portfolios in the Brazilian civil construction sector, with 35 years of operating history and continuous product innovation across formwork and shoring categories.

Aquasolis has no institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public listing; ownership appears concentrated with the founder. The company's competitive position rests on its proprietary formwork/shoring systems, vertical integration through in-house manufacturing and prefabricated production, and a diversified revenue structure across rental, sales, and construction services that lowers dependence on any single revenue stream.
