Alquiansa

What Alquiansa does

Alquiansa is a Spanish private company founded in 1982, headquartered in Dos Hermanas (Sevilla), that rents, sells, and assembles scaffolding and auxiliary equipment for construction, rehabilitation, and heritage-conservation projects. It operates three regional offices (Dos Hermanas/Sevilla, Sevilla city, and Chiclana de la Frontera/Cádiz) and claims nationwide coverage including a Madrid-area presence. The customer base is split across three segments — Construction, Rehabilitation, and Heritage/Patrimony — with heritage monument work (cathedrals, baroque churches, historic facades, port infrastructure) representing the company's flagship expertise area.

The company's technical core is custom engineering of scaffolding structures adapted to complex architectural geometries (domes, cupolas, baroque retables, irregular historic facades), supported by an in-house engineering department that performs structural calculations using SAP2000 v25 finite element analysis software per Eurocode 3 and EN 12811/12812 standards. Equipment categories include multidirectional scaffolding (Ringscaff), European frame scaffolding (Super 65-100 by Scafom-Rux), motorized suspended platforms, mast-climbing scaffolds, mobile towers, facade stabilizers, aerial lifts (scissor and articulated booms), lifelines, and custom hoisting systems up to 1500 kg. Complementary offerings include a 360° Integral Assembly Management service, a PEMP (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) rental unit launched in October 2024, and PPE distribution via a partnership with Accesus announced November 2025.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based equipment rental and assembly services priced on a quote basis, supplemented by hardware sales of personal protective equipment and auxiliary construction equipment. Distribution is direct and consultative via phone, office visits, and project-based proposals. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, with a relationship-and-reputation model sustained by a documented portfolio of high-profile heritage projects including the Giralda tower, Catedral de Sevilla, Alhambra, Mezquita de Córdoba, Hotel Alfonso XIII, Parliament of Andalucía, and Sevilla City Hall, and by membership in ANAPAT (the Spanish aerial work platform rental association).

Revenue model

1. Scaffolding and Access Equipment Rental: Alquiansa's primary revenue stream is the rental of scaffolding systems, mobile towers, motorized suspended scaffolds, mast-climbing scaffolds, aerial lifts (scissor platforms and articulated arms), facade stabilizers, and vertical shorings. Rental is offered across Spain through their three regional offices in Sevilla, Cádiz, and Madrid.
2. PEMP (Aerial Work Platforms) Rental Unit: Following the creation of a dedicated PEMP (Plataformas Elevadoras Móviles de Personal / Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) rental unit approximately one year prior to 2025, Alquiansa expanded its rental portfolio to include powered aerial lifts for work-at-height applications.
3. Equipment Sales (EPI and Auxiliary Equipment): Alquiansa sells personal protective equipment (EPIs) including harnesses, connectors, and fall protection gear, through a partnership with Accesus. They also sell auxiliary equipment for the construction and industrial sector.
4. Scaffolding Assembly and Technical Services: Revenue is generated through the provision of custom scaffolding design, engineering calculations, on-site assembly, and technical services for complex projects, particularly in heritage restoration and industrial maintenance contexts.
