Deltana Engineering has collaborated in different projects led by the majority of participating Spanish and Italian companies, so we look carefully at the possibilities of supporting these important projects, contributing our experience in the preparation of Bill of Quantities, from the tender phase as quantity surveyors , the elaboration, complementation and updating of BIM models, elaboration of executive plans (shop drawings) detailed of reinforcing steel (Bar bending Schedule, BBS), and support to the technical works office in different complementary tasks.

It is worth highlighting the extensive trajectory of Deltana Engineering in projects of this type around the world such as collaborations in the Madrid Metro, Paris Metro, Stockholm Metro, Quito Metro, Sao Paulo Metro, Santiago de Chile Metro, Lima Metro, Riyadh Metro, Doha Metro, and in bidding processes in light rail systems in Canada such as the Confederation Line West LRT and the Edmonton LRT

We wish our clients the greatest success in these processes and look forward to collaborating
