Title A name given to the resource General Contractor Firm Head Office Location Avenida Marechal Gomes da Costa, Lote 8, 1849-019 Lisboa, Portugal Foundation Date 1932 Closure Date 2008 Profile Any textual data included in the document In 1932 OPCA, Obras Públicas e Cimento Armado S.A. was founded by José Praça, Manuel Godinho and Luís Soares. Although the beginning of the company’s history dates back to 1926, with the construction of several works, such as the Chapel of the La Salette Sanctuary, in Oliveira de Azeméis, it was only in 1931 that its founders opened an office in Porto and only in March of 1932 that the company was officialy founded. In the 1930s, its activity was mainly in the construction of buildings, industrial facilities, factories, bridges and roads and at the end of the decade its activity was extended to the whole national territory, being an example of one of its works at the time the Urbanization of the Forest Park of Monsanto. During the 1940s, OPCA was present in the main Portuguese engineering works, with emphasis on the participation of the Lisbon underground, which became one of the emblematic areas of intervention starred by the company. In the 1950s and 1960s, OPCA continued to increase its experience as a global engineering company, reinforcing its involvement in industrial and hydraulic works and, in the 1970s, also in housing buildings and hospitals. From the 1980s onwards, the company began an upward trajectory, with a focus on diversifying the activity. OPCA consolidated the area of construction, betting on the specialized infrastructures and technical constructions and guaranteeing its presence, still in the construction sector, on geotechnical and engineering foundations. The company also entered on new business areas, through participation in real estate, environment (industrial waste management) and telecommunications (infrastructures). It was also in the 1980s that the process of internationalization of the company began, through its presence in Macao, Angola and Mozambique. OPCA was one of the most prestigious Portuguese companies to work in the engineering, civil construction and public works sector between 1932 and 2008. In 2008 the company joined SOPOL to form Opway.
