Activity and Skills
Dragados and its group of companies belong to the Engineering and Construction Division of ACS Group.
With an annual turnover of 35,738 million euros and a workforce of 133,890 people worldwide in 2023, ACS Group has been the number one international contractor since 2018 according the trade magazine Engineering News-Record (ENR).
Dragados, created in the first half of the 20th century, has become stronger as a global leading actor in the construction sector, executing more than 8,300 kilometres of highways, 3,750 kilometres of roads, 2,000 bridges, 1,500 kilometres of tunnels, 600 marine works, 260 dams and hydroelectric power stations, 2,750 kilometres of railways, rail transport and railway facilities, 40 airports and 94.5 million square metres of several kinds of buildings such as airports, hospitals, museums, high-rise buildings and residential complexes. Additionally, it is one of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) contractors, having designed and built more than 100 worldwide concession projects.
Dragados, besides its strength and own ability, has its Spanish specialised subsidiaries Vías, Tecsa, Electren and Drace-Geocisa. Outside the national market, it has developed major infrastructure projects in other European countries like United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland (through its subsidiary Polaqua in the latter case) and Norway. In the last few years United States and Canada have become the main markets for Dragados due to the strong growth of its subsidiaries Schiavone, Pulice, John P. Picone, Prince and J.F.White, in addition to Dragados USA and Dragados Canada subsidiaries. It is also located in Latin America, with a track record of more than fifty years performing construction projects, especially in Chile and Argentina (through its subsidiary Dycasa in the latter country).
Its corporate philosophy starting up business in countries with a highly-stable presence enables it to face the immediate future with confidence. Its excellent position in the North American market allows Dragados to be placed in an extraordinary situation regarding the important investments in infrastructure announced by the Federal Government. Strong construction contracts are also expected in Europe with the collaboration of the European RTRP Funds. Dragados continues believing Spain as a key market in which it is the construction leader, having successfully adapted to the changing scenario over the last decade.
Dragados global future strategy is focused on strengthening its presence in traditional markets trying to reduce contract risks by means of modern procurement procedures with a balanced risk distribution. In addition it also aims to expand into new high-growth markets in the technology, innovation and sustainability fields, willing to invest in markets such as gigafactory batteries, data centres, high-tech laboratories, green hydrogen plants, etc.
Therefore, in summary, Dragados feels proud of its successful history, enjoys an unrivalled health and looks ahead with optimism to future expectations
