Intertechne stands among Brazil’s premier engineering firms, renowned for its comprehensive consulting, design, supervision, and project management services. Beyond its robust domestic operations, the company leverages its global expertise through participation in international projects, reinforcing a strong worldwide presence. Our multidisciplinary team seamlessly blends experience, technical expertise, and practical innovation in infrastructure studies and design. As we continue to expand in key sectors, including Power Generation and Transmission, Renewable Energy, Transportation, Oil & Gas/Industrial, Mining, Consulting and Environmental Project Services and Infrastructure Project Management. Intertechne remains dedicated to delivering reliable, efficient, and client-focused solutions.

Operating in more than 15 countries, our dedicated leaders and teams are committed to delivering best-in-class solutions. That’s the Intertechne approach: integrated, reliable, and results-driven. 

We take immense pride in contributing to landmark infrastructure projects in the Power Generation sector both in Brazil and worldwide. Our portfolio includes iconic projects such as the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant—the largest fully Brazilian hydropower facility—and the Laúca Hydroelectric Plant in Angola, one of Africa’s largest dams. These achievements have solidified Intertechne’s reputation as an international benchmark in engineering, demonstrating our commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and innovative energy solutions. 

In the realm of Transportation Infrastructure, our portfolio features standout projects such as São Paulo Metro Lines 4 and 6, the expansion of Tom Jobim International Airport (RIO Galeão), and Viracopos International Airport in São Paulo. We have also played a pivotal role in enhancing the international airports of Porto Alegre and Fortaleza, further demonstrating our capability to deliver comprehensive and transformative solutions.

In the Oil & Gas/Petrochemical sector, we support some of the industry’s most prominent and demanding players, including Petrobras and Braskem. Our portfolio features key projects such as engineering solutions for Braskem’s Polypropylene Unit in Duque de Caxias and comprehensive engineering services for Petrobras, which have been instrumental in expanding and enhancing oil platforms in the Campos Basin, among many other critical initiatives. 

In the Renewable Energy sector, although a relatively recent area for our company, we have already built an extensive track record of services for medium- and large-scale plants both in Brazil and abroad. Our diverse expertise covers Technical Expediting, Greenfield Projects, Construction Support, EPC Proposals, Basic and Detailed Engineering, and Owner’s Engineering Services, underscoring our commitment to delivering efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. 

In the Mining sector, Intertechne has built an extensive track record of delivering engineering services to Brazil’s leading mining companies across various areas, including dam decommissioning, independent audits, structural reinforcement projects, and periodic dam safety reports. Our expertise further encompasses Engineer of Record (EoR) services and the optimization of mining processes and facilities, alongside projects that address the socio-environmental and sustainability demands of the mining industry. 

In the Infrastructure Project Management sector, Intertechne leverages its extensive experience in executing large-scale, high-complexity projects that demand a significant degree of technical interfacing. Our expertise encompasses project development, management, and planning; technical specification preparation; proposal analysis and evaluation; technical and commercial equalization; as well as the procurement and logistics of materials and equipment for energy and infrastructure projects. Additionally, we supervise the assembly and commissioning of industrial facilities and actively participate in EPC contracts, ensuring integrated and efficient project execution.

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1987, Intertechne began its operations with a team of experienced professionals. Over the years, we have expanded by attracting fresh talent, investing in the training and development of young engineers and technicians, and continuously adopting advanced technologies to enhance our engineering analysis and project development capabilities. 

In 2004, Intertechne was recognized for its comprehensive Quality Management System by achieving the NBR ISO 9001:2000 certification. In 2009, we further reinforced our commitment to excellence by securing both ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications, underscoring our dedication to quality, environmental stewardship, and occupational health and safety. 

Intertechne has solidified its position as a leader in the Water & Energy sector, with a distinguished record in hydroelectric projects and the construction of large dams both in Brazil and internationally. 

Throughout its journey, Intertechne has successfully broadened its expertise into diverse engineering sectors. Today, the company is firmly established in project design and infrastructure project management, ranking among Brazil’s leading engineering and consulting firms. It selectively engages in a wide range of projects, including: 

  • Power Generation and Transmission – both domestically and internationally 
  • Infrastructure – encompassing transportation projects such as metro systems, shipyards, ports, and airports 
  • Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals, and Fertilizers 
  • Renewable Energy 
  • Mining 
  • Environmental Studies

Over the past 20 years, we have strategically internationalized our operations through service exports and key alliances with companies in Europe, the United States, and Canada. We have also developed an extensive network of professionals across multiple countries, supporting the execution of large-scale projects in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This demonstrates Intertechne’s strong capability and steadfast commitment to operating as a truly global company. 

From the very beginning, we have believed that our greatest asset is our people. An engineering company isn’t built solely on the best methodologies, software, equipment, or offices – it needs the human element. Our teams are the driving force behind our success. 

We take immense pride in our accomplishments, having overcome significant challenges by consistently pursuing innovative solutions with creativity and perseverance. While we value the awards and client recognition that have defined our journey, our relentless drive for excellence pushes us to continuously strive for improvement.
