MPB Engenharia

What MPB Engenharia does

MPB Engenharia is a privately-held Brazilian engineering consultancy founded in 1987 and headquartered in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, with a branch office in Brasília. The firm delivers integrated consulting services across six practice areas: sanitation (water supply, sewage, drainage, solid waste), water resources, transportation (port, rail, road, airport), energy (small hydro plants, transmission lines), real estate development, and industrial projects (liquid, atmospheric, and solid effluents). Its client base is dominated by public-sector entities — municipal governments, state-level sanitation companies (SANEPAR, SAMAE), and federal agencies (DNIT) — alongside private-sector buyers including highway concessionaires such as Autopista Litoral Sul. Major documented project outcomes include the design of the ETA Cristalina water treatment plant (400 l/s capacity serving 226,664 inhabitants), the SANEPAR Matinhos/Pontal do Paraná expansion (1,098.18 l/s, 362,888 inhabitants), and the Lagoas do Norte urban-environmental requalification in Teresina covering approximately 1,400 hectares.

The firm's core technology platform is Building Information Modeling (BIM), adopted company-wide in 2014 with technical staff training and applied to infrastructure projects for 3D modeling, automated detailing and quantification, and integrated multidisciplinary conflict detection. MPB also delivers environmental impact assessments (EIA/RIMA) and Indigenous Basic Plan Components (CI-PBA), most notably across 10 Guarani villages for the Florianópolis Bypass project for Autopista Litoral Sul. The company operates under a professional services revenue model, generating fees through project-based contracts awarded via direct engagement with public agencies and private enterprises, and supports this with a content marketing presence through its blog, YouTube live public hearings, and a project portfolio website. Its go-to-market is sales-led and geographically concentrated within Brazil.
