What Supercemento does

Supercemento S.A.I.C. is a Buenos Aires-headquartered Argentine civil engineering and construction company founded in 1955, operating as part of an integrated business group with Dragados y Obras Portuarias S.A. (DyOPSA). The company builds large-scale hydraulic, sanitation, transportation, energy, and maritime infrastructure — including more than 1,500 km of large-diameter aqueducts, 1,000 km of roads, 100+ bridges and viaducts, water treatment plants serving 3 million inhabitants, 25,000+ housing units, and 40,000+ m² of hospital construction. Its technical foundation rests on in-house prestressed concrete pipe manufacturing (developed since 1955), TBM tunnel construction, and complex maritime works such as HDPE submarine outfalls.

The company serves primarily government clients (Argentine national, provincial, and municipal agencies) through competitive public tenders, and supplements this with private master-planned developments such as the Nordelta urban project and private real estate engagements. A secondary revenue stream comes from operating a portfolio of toll road concessions (Corredor Central, Covicentro, Covinorte, Concanor, VICOV, Emcovial, Consorcio Vial) covering thousands of kilometers of Argentine highways. Operations extend regionally across Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, and Ecuador.

The business model is project-based: revenue is generated through one-time construction contracts awarded via public bidding or private negotiation, plus recurring managed-services revenue from road concession operations and maintenance. Supercemento holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications through IRAM, is a UN Global Compact signatory since 2017, and holds long-standing memberships in CAC, AIDIS, and AAC. The firm is privately held, with no public funding rounds or disclosed investors in the input data.
