CHM Infraestructuras

What CHM Infraestructuras does

CHM Infraestructuras (legal entity: CHM OBRAS E INFRAESTRUCTURAS SA) is a Spanish construction and infrastructure contractor headquartered in Alicante and operating since 1948 as the flagship construction entity of Grupo Vallalba, a private diversified group of 19 specialized companies. The company delivers ten integrated business lines covering the full infrastructure lifecycle: roads and highways, railway works, hydraulic works, renewable energy infrastructure, residential and industrial building, technical pavements, road conservation and tunnel management, environmental and facility services, airport works, and port works. Its differentiated operational base includes own quarries, asphalt plants, technical laboratories, and a specialized machinery fleet, enabling vertical integration from raw materials through project execution. CHM also operates long-duration concessions, notably 46 wastewater treatment plants nationwide and ongoing management of the San Juan tunnel (A-70, Valencian Community) and the Vielha tunnel, together with the Baix Vinalopó solid waste treatment facility processing 180,000 tonnes/year for 350,000+ inhabitants across 10 municipalities.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and bid-driven, with primary revenue from competitive public tenders issued by Spanish ministries, regional governments, and municipal authorities, complemented by direct contracting with private industrial operators, logistics companies, and developers. Pricing is quote-based via competitive tendering for the public sector and direct commercial negotiation for the private sector, with no publicly disclosed standardized pricing. CHM's technology stack includes the proprietary CHM S-Tools digital platform for road and tunnel management, patented cold pavement technology for urban heat island mitigation (LIFE/REPARA Projects), and the VAXAMA Project combining X-ray microtomography with computer vision and AI for non-destructive bituminous mixture analysis, developed with CTCON and Novadep and funded by CDTI/ERDF. The company is certified across ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 50001, 27001:2022 (with MEDIUM CATEGORY ENS RD 311/2022 classification), 56001 Innovation Management (established 20/01/2026), and IQNET RCMark. Headcount is approximately 325 employees with regional offices in Madrid, Albacete, Murcia, Valencia, Málaga, and Seville, plus the Alicante headquarters.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The customer base skews heavily toward Spanish public sector buyers (Ministry of Public Works, State Road Network, Comunidad Valenciana regional administration, municipal consortia including Baix Vinalopó), with a secondary private sector segment in industrial and logistics facility construction. The Vallalba Group structure provides scale and cross-subsidiary capability, but no external institutional investors, public listing, or funding events have been identified in the available data.
