Tal Projecto

What Tal Projecto does

Tal Projecto is a Portuguese structural engineering consulting firm founded in July 1985 and headquartered in Lisbon, with a satellite office in São Paulo, Brazil. The firm specializes in structural engineering for special and complex buildings, with service areas covering stadiums, airports, bridges, industrial buildings, commercial and institutional buildings, residential developments, rehabilitation projects, and construction equipment. It operates as a private limited company (LDA) with a headcount in the 11-50 range and has delivered projects across at least 11 countries, including Portugal, Brazil, Panama, Sierra Leone, Australia, Hungary, Romania, Morocco, Cameroon, Angola, and Guinea.

The firm's client base spans multiple verticals: sports venues (Stadiums for Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense), aviation infrastructure (ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal), mining (Somincor), retail (Dolce Vita Tejo), public works (Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, Federação Portuguesa de Futebol), logistics (Grupo Luís Simões), and tier-one construction firms (ODEBRECHT, Construtora OAS, Martifer). The business model is professional services consulting, with project-based engagements and delivery partnerships with international firms such as Bonacci Group (Australia), MSF Engenharia (Sierra Leone), and NSE Engineering (Panama). Tal Projecto has received two European Steel Design Awards from the ECCS (in 2007 and 2011), validating its credentials in steel structural design. The firm is differentiated by its niche specialization in high-complexity structures rather than by technology, scale, or production volume.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with deep structural engineering heritage and stadium/airport megaproject credentials. Comparable on complex structural design, but at vastly greater scale and with multidisciplinary breadth that Tal Projecto does not match.
• Buro Happold: International engineering firm specializing in structural, MEP, and sustainability design with strong stadium and cultural building portfolio. Comparable on technical specialism in complex structures but at global scale.
• WSP: Global professional services firm with structural engineering capability across buildings, transport, and environment. Overlaps with Tal Projecto on stadium and airport design but operates with far larger teams and broader service lines.
• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering, management, and development consultancy with structural design capabilities across buildings, bridges, airports, and rail. Comparable end markets but with much broader service portfolio and international footprint.
• Tractebel (Engie): Belgium-based global engineering consultancy active in buildings, infrastructure, and energy. Comparable on structural and civil engineering delivery, especially on large institutional and transport projects.

Direct peers

• QUADRANTE: Portuguese engineering consultancy offering structural, geotechnical, and infrastructure design services. Directly comparable as a Lisbon-headquartered multi-disciplinary firm serving similar building, transport, and energy projects in Portugal and Lusophone markets. Notably a former employer of a Tal Projecto engineer.
• COBA - Consultores de Engenharia e Ambiente: Portuguese engineering consultancy with structural, environmental, and infrastructure design capabilities. Comparable in scope (buildings, bridges, transportation) and in operating across Portuguese-speaking markets including Angola and Brazil.
• AFA Consult: Portuguese structural and civil engineering consultancy with project portfolio in buildings, bridges, and rehabilitation. Directly comparable as a mid-sized national specialist competing for similar private and public tenders in Portugal.
• CENOR - Consultores: Lisbon-based engineering consultancy delivering structural design, project management, and technical assistance across buildings, transport, and energy. Comparable in service mix and in operating across Iberia, Brazil, and Africa.

Others

• Promontório Arquitectos: Lisbon-headquartered architecture firm collaborating with Tal Projecto on award-winning projects (Dolce Vita Tejo). Adjacent peer in the same building-design value chain rather than a direct competitor for structural engineering mandates.
