ICE INGENIEROS S.A.

What ICE INGENIEROS S.A. does

ICE INGENIEROS S.A. is a Cochabamba-based Bolivian construction and engineering contractor founded in 1968, operating today as part of the Grupo Empresarial Julio León Prado conglomerate. The company executes large-scale civil infrastructure for Bolivian public-sector clients — including national roads (over 600 km paved since 1991 for the Administradora Boliviana de Carreteras), airports (Cochabamba's Jorge Wilstermann and a 3.8 km runway for AASANA), 21 electrical substations and hydroelectric works (ENDE), and a 20 km water-conveyance tunnel plus TBM excavation (Empresa Misicuni) — alongside mining-sector civil works (Empresa Minera Manquiri, Minera San Cristóbal) and a machinery sales line. Its core technology stack combines conventional heavy civil methods with the licensed EMMEDUE prefabricated panel system (polystyrene-foam core with steel mesh and mortar), produced domestically through its wholly-owned Casa Pronta subsidiary that has delivered over 1,000 projects in 14 years. The company also develops and sells real estate directly to end buyers through the El Bosque Paraíso condominium, El Bosque Comercial commercial center, and the Urbanización Curan Curani master-planned community near La Paz, with lots starting at approximately USD 60,000. Revenue is generated through competitive bidding on government contracts (one-time project-based), direct real estate sales, EMMEDUE-panel and construction-technology licensing through Casa Pronta, and equipment sales — all distributed through an enterprise field-sales motion targeted at government agencies, mining operators, and individual real estate buyers in seven Bolivian departments.
