Hidrotehnik

What Hidrotehnik does

Hidrotehnik d.o.o. is a Slovenian water management and civil engineering company headquartered in Ljubljana, with operating roots dating to 1945 and a current workforce of 130 employees organized across three business units in Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, and Mengeš. The company specializes in hydraulic engineering, watercourse regulation, and flood protection, and operates as the concession holder of public economic water services on the Sava and Soča river basins under contract with the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, performing waterway maintenance, river surveillance, gate management, and emergency flood response.

Its service portfolio spans five integrated lines: (1) water management services including flood prevention and post-storm rehabilitation; (2) low-rise civil engineering (roads, sewage, water supply, gas, and heating networks), where the company has its strongest recognition in central Slovenia; (3) high-rise construction covering industrial, modular commercial, and residential developments; (4) in-house concrete production at the Betonarna Mengeš facility in Topole near Mengeš, with annual capacity of 70,000 m³, certified to European and Slovenian standards, plus delivery and pumping services; and (5) in-house project design for water management structures. The company owns its mechanical workshops and construction equipment fleet, enabling end-to-end project execution.

Hidrotehnik generates revenue through three streams: recurring annual concession funding for water management services on the Sava and Soča basins, project-based construction revenue from public tenders and private contracts, and unit-priced concrete sales (per cubic meter) to external construction companies, which account for approximately 80% of plant output. Customers are predominantly government and municipal entities, including the Slovenian Water Directorate, DARS, and municipal utilities, with episodic private commercial work. The company is privately held as a d.o.o. since 2020, after the state exited ownership and shares were delisted in 2008.
