What Europea De Hincas Teledirigidas Sa does

Europea de Hincas Teledirigidas, S.A., trading as Eurohinca, is a Spanish specialty civil contractor that has, since its 1996 incorporation, executed trenchless tunnels and microtunnels for critical underground infrastructure. The firm is headquartered in Getafe (Madrid) with a registered office in Madrid and operates under a Sociedad Anónima structure (C.I.F. A81396517). It positions itself as the leader in Spain and a reference in Europe for microtunneling with remote-controlled tunnel boring machines, with documented project experience across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.

The company's core capability rests on an owned fleet of 14 tunnel boring machines spanning multiple excavation regimes: Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) closed shields for soft ground, hydro-shield closed shields for high groundwater pressure environments above 5 bar, open shields for rock and mixed-face conditions, Direct Pipe systems combining trenchless excavation with pipe pushing, and segmental lining (dovelas) for larger-diameter structural tunnels. It complements these with horizontal directional drilling, vertical shaft construction, and engineering/technical assistance services. Applications span urban sewage and stormwater networks, urban water supply, gas pipeline crossings, desalination seawater intakes and outfalls, dam drainage and spillway tunnels, hydroelectric conveyance, river and protected-area crossings, and aquaculture water circulation tunnels.

Eurohinca monetizes exclusively through project-based contracting, with projects typically awarded via competitive bidding from municipal authorities, infrastructure developers, water utilities, and public or private transport entities. Pricing is determined per project by technical parameters (diameter, length, geology, depth, complexity), and customers engage through a commercial offer request on the company website. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by multilingual (Spanish, English, French) technical content, a YouTube project gallery, and a LinkedIn presence. The firm has executed 240+ projects and 110-120+ km of tunnels across 250+ sections since founding.
