Our story

We believe in this country and its potential. We know that we are the ones who build history, and that every opportunity must be seized with willingness and determination. Building, for us, is much more than erecting concrete monuments. We understand that our work goes beyond. We work to achieve improvements in sustainability, social assistance and development, translated into works of transport, health, sanitation, energy generation, infrastructure and the environment. We’ve been doing this for so long that we don’t even realize how many stories we have to tell. Stories of works that have marked Brazil in recent decades, actively participating in its development. Works as the construction of MASP – São Paulo Museum of Art – São Paulo’s postcard; the first subway stations in Brazil; the largest biogas plant in Latin America; the Cidade Jardim bridge – built using a system of successive cantilevers and prestressed concrete; the international airport of São Luís (MA), among others. We proud ourselves from all of them, but today our focus is on the future. It is where we are inspired to seek new challenges, goals and achievements. We believe in a more modern and very participative engineering, focused on current values of citizenship and sustainability.

MASP - São Paulo Museum of Art. Built by Heleno & Fonseca and inaugurated on November 7, 1968, it was famous for boasting an engineering feat: a span of more than 70 meters that extends under four pillars. Designed by Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi and conceived by engineer José Carlos de Figueiredo Ferraz, the building is one of the proudest works in our portfolio.

Structure

A COMPLETE STRUCTURE WITH PROFESSIONALS AND LOGISTICS TO ACT EFFICIENTLY IN WORKS THROUGHOUT BRAZIL

Heleno & Fonseca is part of Brazil’s history for over 60 years.

Planning and executing numerous works simultaneously in different parts of this country requires absolute operational logistical control that involves professionals, machines, equipment and a huge supply chain. For this, Heleno & Fonseca has developed its own techniques that mobilize engineers and professionals from different areas, in addition to the detailed planning of each project stage in which it operates.

Decades of experience and practice have shown the importance of management principles, teamwork, persistence and resilience. This ongoing commitment to the operation dynamics of each work allowed us to act in most segment of civil construction, such as Infrastructure, Gas and Energy, Buildings, Manufacturing Plants and the Environment. Viaducts, bridges, sanitary landfills, water supply, treatment stations, subway lines, railways, highways, schools, thermoelectric plants, airports and countless other works that help the country’s development.

Our engineering division also works in the draft of environmental and structural projects, from the conception of the idea to the planning and execution of the work. The continuous search for excellence is one of the engines that drives us into the future, respecting ethical and compliance values, supporting the communities where we operate and helping to build a great Brazil.

Responsibility Social and environmental

HELENO & FONSECA WORKS FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND MINIMIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN ALL OF ITS WORKS

Acting in Sustainability and Social Responsibility is part of our commitment.

We believe we can improve the life of people and the environment through daily decisions and attitudes. Sustainable standards and norms are designed to minimize the environmental impact in all operations managed by Heleno & Fonseca. Simple actions such as: reduced consumption of fuels, reduced loss of supplies, and reuse of waste have been incorporated into the company’s goals and challenges.

Achieving economic growth with respect for the environment is possible and necessary. As the guardian of sustainability, Heleno & Fonseca works to care for and recover the fauna and flora impacted by each project carried out. We act in the capture and relocation of native animals and in the replanting of trees in areas that will be affected by the works. We know that there’s still a lot to do, and we are committed to finding solutions that meet the new needs of the country and the world.
