Trajectory

Convensa, Contratas y Ventas was created in 1971 as a construction company located in Asturias and with the aim of dedicating itself to a wide range of works, lending special strength in railway works.

It was in 1991 when it became part of the FCC Group, becoming the company specialized in railway works of this company.

From that date, the geographical area of work was extended to the entire national territory, becoming involved in the execution of projects of international scope.

In this period of time, Convensa has carried out works on High Speed Lines, Conventional lines, Vía Estrecha lines and Metropolitan lines, both for public clients and for private clients.

These works have ranged from the execution of infrastructure works, through the realization of the superstructures, both new track assembly and existing road renewal, either in ballast or plate, building stations and transport terminals on the surface or underground and developing the maintenance of existing or newly opened lines.

Convensa has the necessary company classifications, the necessary machinery and all the technical personnel and operators sufficient to execute any railway work with its own human and technical resources.

The experience acquired in the last 50 years as well as the prestige achieved with its clients, position Convensa as the leading company in the national and international railway field.
