The A2P

With more than 30 years of experience on structural engineering, A2P is a reference in the national industry for technical expertise, innovation, and commitment.

A2P’s activity is based on two principles: technical accuracy, which is due to the general and specific proficiency of all partners and employees; and ethics, beginning in new contracts’ negotiation, through the project process, to the final phases of construction.

A2P places the object of its work as the main protagonist, whether in meeting the programmatic conditions defined by clients or in respecting all stakeholders in the design and construction process, following the principle of upmost respect for the built and unbuilt heritage.

Specialized in projects for new structures, rehabilitation and retrofitting of buildings, bridges, and viaducts, as well as all types of special structures, A2P tailors its sustainable structural solutions for each project. It also operates within the consultancy and technical advisory sector through expertise, inspections surveys and project coordination, contributing to the sector’s development through research and dissemination of scientific knowledge.

In order to fulfil the company’s goals, A2P upholds demanding criteria when selecting and recruiting its employees, making complementary training available to all. A2P’s more experienced members are responsible for mentoring younger engineers, ensuring the handover of knowledge from their individual professional path within the design area, during academic life, and research work.

A2P believes that proper training of young graduates constitutes a duty of the collective towards society, aiming to train and qualify young professionals endowed with an ethical compass that will allow them to fulfil their potential to become references in structural engineering.
