What Túneles y Geomecánica, S.L. does

Túneles y Geomecánica, S.L. (TYG) is a privately held Spanish engineering consultancy founded in 2014 and headquartered in Madrid, with a legal registered address in Villanueva del Pardillo. The firm specializes in underground and geotechnical infrastructure, offering design, advisory, and rehabilitation services for tunnels (hydraulic, metro, road, and railway), underground caverns, mining operations, slope stability, and tourist mine development. Its service portfolio is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of mining, civil, and geological engineers and geologists, and is anchored in advanced numerical modeling and geological-geotechnical analysis capabilities rather than proprietary software products.

The company serves four primary customer segments: infrastructure developers and construction companies (e.g., ACCIONA, Ferrovial, Sacyr, OHL, FCC), mining operators (e.g., Ferroglobe, Riotinto, Europa Metals), energy companies (Iberdrola, Repsol), and public administrations and government entities (ADIF, Canal Isabel II, Bilbao Port). Distribution is direct enterprise field sales — project-specific consulting engagements — with the company claiming a worldwide operating footprint from a single Spanish base. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around customized project scopes.

Beyond core consulting, TYG is positioning itself in the underground energy storage domain via two publicly funded R&D programs: the SMART MinEnergy consortium (2020-2021, €748,708.86 total budget) developing compressed air energy storage in abandoned mining cavities, and the larger UES365 project (2023-2025, €6,185,540 total budget) extending the concept to compressed air, biogas, and green hydrogen for Spanish grid balancing. Cumulative non-dilutive R&D funding of ~€6.93M since 2020 signals both public-sector validation and a strategic move into the energy vertical, though commercial revenue from these efforts is not yet disclosed.
