Construtora Camargo Corrêa

What Construtora Camargo Corrêa does

Construtora Camargo Corrêa is a Brazilian EPC construction company founded in 1940 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating as a subsidiary of the diversified conglomerate Grupo Camargo Corrêa. The company executes large-scale infrastructure projects across four core segments: Energy (35 hydroelectric plants totaling 65,000MW+ of installed capacity, 7 thermal plants, and 1 nuclear plant, including four of the world's five largest hydroelectric dams: Itaipu, Belo Monte, Guri, and Tucuruí); Oil & Gas (refineries such as REPAR, REVAP, and Replan, plus gas and ethanol pipelines including Urucu-Coari-Manaus and the Etanolduto); Industrial (metallurgy, mining concentration, fertilizer, and steel plants under EPC model); and Infrastructure (10 airports, 3 ports, 1,300km of railway, 2,500km of roads, 112km of metro, and 180 bridges, including Ponte Rio-Niterói and Ponte de Laguna).

The company operates a full EPC delivery model, supported by proprietary technology including the Geoportal (a georeferencing and statistical analysis tool for socioeconomic and environmental risk mapping), SIGO (an Integrated Management System certified to ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001, and ISO 14001), and a Socioenvironmental Management System covering waste, water, carbon, and biodiversity programs. It has introduced novel construction methods to Brazil, including Double Slide Rail (which saved over R$3.2 million on the Ponte Baixa project by reducing excavation area and expropriations), mechanized New Track Construction capable of assembling nearly 2 km of track per shift, and the BERD Launching Truss imported from Portugal, which cut bridge segment execution from one week to four days.

Revenue is generated through one-time, project-specific EPC contracts awarded via competitive bidding and executed through consortium partnerships; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customers are large enterprises and government entities including Vale, Petrobras, Itaipu Binacional, and DNIT, with international operations across seven countries in South America (Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela) and Africa (Angola, Mozambique). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with consortium leadership on mega-tenders; there is no retail or self-service distribution. The company has 1,392 employees and is currently operating, though its most active award and compliance milestones concentrate in the 2014–2016 period, with 2015 Leniency Agreements with CADE and the Federal Public Ministry and a 2025 judicial settlement in a Catalão/GO labor matter shaping its current compliance posture.
