We are different.
We bring innovation and new ideas.
Infrastructure Economics and Planning
We engage in projects from conception for multilateral organizations, governments, and private companies. Our services encompass demand studies, planning and operational analysis, network expansion assessments, and comprehensive evaluations of new infrastructure projects. We are experts at utilizing macroscopic models with specialized software tools including VISSUM, TransCad, Emme, and others.
We have conducted economic and financial evaluations of transportation and infrastructure projects and have crafted public investment plans in over thirty countries.

Transportation Engineering
Transportation Engineering
We have extensive experience in transportation engineering projects, serving both public and private clients across various scales, including complex urban environments.
Engineering and Architecture Design
We are particularly adept in comprehensive designs for complex projects involving multiple specialties simultaneously.
Notably, we excel in the design of metro stations and intermodal transfer centers in densely populated urban environments.
We have actively participated in numerous Design-Build projects, contributing to preliminary analysis, bidding engineering, and the execution of value engineering to enhance design efficiency and incorporate constructability analysis. We use Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, both in the design, construction and operation stages, as well as the development of Digital Twins.
We have significant project experience working with large international construction firms as trusted partners.
Depending upon project requirements, we adhere to the standards set forth by various FIDIC (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) contracts:
– The Red Book for traditional construction contracts,
– The Yellow Book for Design-Build projects,
– The Silver Book for EPC/Turnkey projects, and
– The Gold Book for Design-Build-Operate projects.

Construction and Project Management
As Owner Engineering representatives, we serve both clients and financing entities, ensuring successful project execution in accordance with relevant specifications and standards. In addition to Construction Management, Supervision or Inspection Service, we also take on more comprehensive roles such as Program Manager or Project Manager during the construction phase.
To ensure seamless communication among stakeholders, we employ programming and control techniques aligned with the guidelines of the Project Management Institute (PMI). This facilitates the flow of information and enables us to furnish our clients with operational and management indicators (KPIs) and performance dashboards, aiding them in project oversight and control.
We have developed tailored software solutions including the AC&A Works Control Panel (PCO), which offers online visualization of project progress and serves as a real-time documentary control tool for our clients.
When appropriate, we establish Project Management Offices (PMOs) on-site to oversee the day-to-day operations of complex and extensive projects requiring continuous oversight by a team of specialized professionals.
Throughout the management and owner engineering stages, we adhere to the guidelines outlined in the FIDIC books to ensure consistency and compliance with industry standards.

Infrastructure Asset Management
We conduct comprehensive surveys and assessments of infrastructure parameters as outlined in Public-Private-Partnership (PPPs), concessions, and Level-Of-Service contracts. Our approach encompasses non-destructive testing methods specified in Advisory Circular AC 150/5370-11B: Use of Nondestructive Testing in the Evaluation of Airport Pavements by the FAA, ensuring thorough evaluation of critical infrastructure components.
Furthermore, the integration of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)techniques enhances our processes, enabling us to deliver more efficient procedures and reliable outcomes. An example application of this integration is the AC&A Intelligent Pavement Vision (IPV) software solution, designed for pavement deterioration analysis.
