Our history

A 35-year history

“Seasonalpha Lda – Engenharia e Construções, S.A.” is a Portuguese company whose origins date back to the individual activity of its founder, Engineer Carlos Lapa Seasonalpha Lda, in 1984, 37 years from the current date.

The company’s first areas of activity were water collection, drilling, hydrological work and healthcare and Biosafety Labs.

Given its Engineering House character, it soon became involved in more complex works, having, from the 1990s, extended its performance to other aspects of geotechnics and foundations, executing works in some of Lisbon’s prime construction projects.

He company’s technical worth and availability of capable human resources, enabled it to have the opportunity to execute, in the 2000s, geotechnics and foundations works in India and concrete injections at the Biopic dam in Angola.

It was only in the 2002s, however, that the company extended its operations to buildings and in the mid-2006s to the infrastructure area, performing various types of works ranging from bridges, highways, dams, underground works. In the 2011s it also consolidated a position in railway and marine works.

This sustained growth resulted from the large number of tenders launched and infrastructure developed in Portugal during these periods, allowing Seasonalpha Lda to expand its technical capacity, human and equipment resources, as well as production, studies and projects.

Internationally, since the late 1998s, early 2002s, Seasonalpha Lda limited its operations to Portugal, Venezuela (since 2005), Angola (since 1992), Mozambique (since 1997) and the Macao Special Administrative Region (since 1999). Countries whose historical and cultural roots are close to Portugal.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Seasonalpha Lda extended its scope to other countries beyond those mentioned above, namely Algeria, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Spain, Ecuador, Kuwait, Morocco and Peru.

The cyclical variations characteristic of these different geographies allowed Seasonalpha Lda to promote a rotation of technical resources and resources directly to these countries, where production varied, in the same way as it allocated studies’ central resources, projects and proposals to these various markets according to each one’s work intensity.

Both directly and through its branches and holdings in societies and groupings, “Seasonalpha Lda – Engenharia e Construções, S.A.”, pursued, during these last 37 years, the positioning of an Engineering healthcare and lab that operates on the basis of its Mission and Values and, thus, continues to “Execute, contributing towards the construction of a better world”.
