Trajectory

Convensa, Contratas y Ventas was founded in 1971 in Asturias. It was created with the aim of covering a wide range of areas within the construction sector, with a particular focus on railway projects from the outset.

In 1991, it became part of the FCC Group, joining the transport division of FCC Construcción and becoming the company's specialist in railway works. Since then, its geographical area of operation has expanded to cover the whole of Spain.

Today, it has consolidated its position in projects in Spain and Portugal and is opening up markets in other countries after being awarded various international projects.

During this period, Convensa has carried out work on high-speed lines, conventional lines, narrow-gauge lines and metropolitan lines for both public and private clients.

This work has included infrastructure works, superstructure works with new track laying or renovation of existing track (ballast and/or slab track), construction of surface and underground stations and transport terminals, and maintenance of existing or newly opened lines.

Convensa has the necessary company classifications and resources to carry out any railway work: machinery, equipment, technical personnel and operators.

The experience acquired over more than 50 years, as well as the prestige achieved with its clients, position Convensa as a benchmark in the national and international railway sector.
