Tunnels

OFITECO has extensive experience in the inspection and instrumentation of underground works, having participated in major metro and tunnel construction projects in cities such as Madrid, Málaga, Riyadh, and Tel Aviv. This background has enabled the company to develop deep expertise in managing and executing large-scale underground infrastructure projects, with a specialized focus on safety, stability, and performance optimization. 

Inspections and Load Testing 

OFITECO carries out engineering and maintenance services for tunnel and railway infrastructure. Its methodology is structured around three key phases: analysis and diagnosis, intervention, and monitoring. These include: 

  • Routine, Principal, and Special Inspections 
  • Instrumentation 
  • Permanent Monitoring and Maintenance Plans 
  • Load Testing for Acceptance, Load-Bearing Capacity Evaluation, and Research Purposes 
  • Repair, Reinforcement, and Structural Adaptation Projects 

Instrumentation 

As a leader in civil works instrumentation, OFITECO provides advanced solutions for monitoring critical infrastructure components. The company has the equipment and experienced personnel to install and manage all types of instrumentation required for tunnel monitoring. 

During both construction and operational phases, OFITECO performs periodic measurements and delivers detailed control and interpretation reports. It offers turnkey solutions for tunnel auscultation, integrating proven, cutting-edge technologies with a focus on minimizing operational and financial risk. 

OFITECO’s optimized and cost-effective process includes reference design analysis, selection of devices and manufacturers, installation, data analysis, and ongoing maintenance. 

At the core of this system is TUNNELDATA, OFITECO’s centralized data management platform. It provides a unified interface for all monitoring-related data and serves as a real-time decision-making tool, enabling comprehensive analysis and evaluation throughout all stages of the structure’s lifecycle. 

 

Engineering and Works Supervision 

OFITECO’s deep technical knowledge and extensive experience allow it to continuously improve the development of infrastructure solutions, delivering high technical quality tailored to the territorial, technical, and economic constraints of each project. 

The company is equipped to intervene at both the design and construction phases, acting as a Technical Office. Key services include: 

  • Technical resolution of major incidents during construction, particularly in structures, tunnels, and geotechnical works (e.g., foundations, unstable slopes). OFITECO’s experts provide fully defined solutions, including calculations and drawings. 
  • Technical redesign of elements or sections of the works—such as alignments, structures, geotechnics, and tunnels—supported by expert teams when necessary, with complete documentation (calculations, drawings, and budget). 
  • Drafting of Modified and Supplementary Projects when required.
