In April, ConstruGomes participated in in the XYY edition of the Civil Engineering Conference at the University of Minho, where it launched the ConstruGomes Quiz, a challenge that offered the winner the opportunity to visit one of our international projects. The student Duarte Ferreira was the grand winner and had the chance to see the TB Sterbecke project up close, located on the A45 motorway in Nordrhein Westfalen, Germany.

The visit was divided into two phases. In the first phase Duarte was introduced to the ConstruGomes team, including the engineer responsible for the German market, the project manager and the project foreman. During this phase, topics such as the project planning, daily team management, client relations, and the collaboration with our partner BERD, the company supplying the movable scaffolding system used in the execution, were discussed.

In the second phase, Duarte visited the construction site, where he could meet the ConstruGomes’ teams in action and explore the bridge construction system. On the day of the visit, the teams were carrying out concrete pouring works.

We thank AEECUM, the Civil Engineering Student Association of the University of Minho, for this opportunity to bring academia and the business sector closer together, providing future engineers with real and enriching experiences. Congratulations to Duarte Ferreira on his achievement!
