Geocisa

What Geocisa does

DRACE GEOCISA, S.A. (operating as Drace Geocisa) is a Spanish geotechnical engineering and infrastructure services company headquartered in Coslada, Spain, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo ACS — one of the world's largest construction and services conglomerates. The entity was formed through the merger of DRACE INFRAESTRUCTURAS, S.A. and GEOTECNIA Y CIMIENTOS, S.A., consolidating two legacy ACS units into a single specialized platform. The firm employs between 251 and 500 people and operates in both domestic Spanish and international markets.

The company's service portfolio is organized across eleven distinct lines: water treatment (both design-and-build and operations-and-maintenance), geotechnical works, restoration and rehabilitation (including monument conservation), large prefabricated elements, infrastructure management (including road conservation), geotechnical and structural monitoring and instrumentation ("auscultación"), geotechnical engineering studies, singular projects (bridges and distinctive buildings), construction control and surveillance, and nuclear laboratory services. The firm positions itself around projects requiring a strong technological component — whether through specialized engineering, qualified personnel, or singular equipment — particularly in domains where complex ground conditions, heritage preservation, or regulated environments (notably nuclear) raise the technical bar.

Geocisa's revenue model is project-based and B2B/B2G in nature, serving government agencies and private entities on large-scale infrastructure, environmental, water, and nuclear mandates. No pricing, contract structure, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. As an ACS subsidiary, the firm benefits from the parent's procurement scale, international footprint, and balance sheet, but it operates as a focused specialty unit within the group rather than as a standalone growth-stage enterprise. There are no disclosed AI/ML, software, or digital platform capabilities — the offering is fundamentally grounded in physical engineering, instrumentation, and on-site execution.

Broad incumbents

• Ferrovial Construcción: Spanish construction and infrastructure subsidiary of Ferrovial, active in roads, water, and civil works. Comparable incumbent competing with Geocisa on infrastructure management, road conservation, and large civil tenders in Spain.
• Acciona Construcción: Major Spanish construction and infrastructure group with capabilities in civil works, water treatment, and special foundations. Comparable as a large Spanish-based incumbent that overlaps with Geocisa's water treatment and infrastructure management lines.
• Dragados (Grupo ACS): Largest construction subsidiary of Grupo ACS, focused on large-scale civil infrastructure. A direct affiliate of Geocisa's parent group and a natural internal competitor/counterparty on tenders where Geocisa's specialty services bolt onto Dragados' project pipeline.
• FCC Construcción: Diversified Spanish construction group with strong presence in infrastructure, water, and environmental projects. Comparable to Geocisa's water treatment, infrastructure management, and environmental works offerings, competing on the same public-sector tenders.

Direct peers

• Bauer AG: German-based global specialist in foundations, diaphragm walls, and ground engineering. Highly comparable to Geocisa's geotechnical construction and special foundations portfolio, serving similar end-markets with analogous techniques and equipment.
• Soletanche Bachy (Vinci Construction): World-leading geotechnical and foundation contractor operating within the Vinci group. Competes head-to-head with Geocisa on deep foundations, ground treatment, and underground works, often on the same international infrastructure tenders.
• Trevi Group: Italian specialty contractor in geotechnical engineering and foundations, including ground improvement and underground works. Closely comparable to Geocisa's core geotechnical services business with similar customer profile and project mix.
• Keller Group plc: UK-listed specialist geotechnical and ground engineering contractor offering foundations, ground improvement, and earthworks. Directly comparable to Geocisa's Obras Geotécnicas and special foundations business, both serving infrastructure and building clients with similar deep-foundation techniques.

Regional players

• SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas: Spanish engineering and construction group active in infrastructure, energy, and singular projects. Comparable to Geocisa's Proyectos Singulares (bridges, distinctive buildings) and infrastructure management offering, with similar Iberian customer base.

Emerging players

• Cadagua (Grupo ACS): Grupo ACS sister company specializing in water treatment design, construction, and operation. Directly overlaps Geocisa's Tratamiento de Aguas (D&B and O&M) lines and would be a natural internal benchmark or partner within the ACS portfolio.
