  • Earth movement
02 WATER
Retaining Systems and Treatment Plants
Gabion and geocell walls, plus municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants.
  • Gabion walls
  • Geocell walls
  • Treatment plants
03 COASTAL
Coastal Defenses with Sheet Piles
Protection against waves and erosion, plus specialized marine construction with ACP-certified welding.
  • Steel sheet piles
  • Breakwaters and revetments
  • ACP underwater welding
Engineering and planning

Design process

Before the first stone is moved, we define every measurement, layer and technical level of the work, so that construction on site follows the design exactly.

Technical drawing of road infrastructure, cross sections and pavement dimensions

Detailed technical design

Infrastructure, road and bridge drawings with the layers, dimensions and levels each site demands.

Construction true to the design

Building strictly to plan, meeting deadlines and quality and safety standards.

Documented backing

Every project is backed by its technical planning, for maintenance and future expansion.

Civil construction

Road infrastructure and bridges

We build and rehabilitate roads, access routes and bridges, from the initial earth movement to the final paving.

Every road project includes site assessment, technical design and construction with our own crews, to the same standard we apply on retention works and coastal defenses.

How we work

From the first site visit to final handover

01

Site assessment

We assess site conditions, clearing, grading and foundation excavation according to what the project needs.

02

Design and planning

We define the technical scope of the infrastructure, road or bridge, and plan the construction schedule.

03

Construction

We build with specialized machinery and personnel, meeting deadlines and quality and safety standards.

04

Handover and follow-up

We hand over the finished work, with the safety of workers and the surrounding community guaranteed throughout.

Marine Construction — Grupo Pitti
MARINE CONSTRUCTION

Specialized services in marine and coastal environments

Our team works on projects ranging from coastal protection to building infrastructure in marine environments.

01
Coastal protection
Beach replenishment and dune protection to hold back erosion along the shoreline.
02
Slope stabilization
We reinforce coastal slopes to protect land that is vulnerable to wave action.
03
Breakwaters and revetments
Construction of barriers that reduce the impact of waves on the coastline.
04
Docks and piles
Construction of docks and installation of piles to support coastal works.
05
Ecosystem restoration
Recovery of damaged coastal ecosystems, restoring environmental balance to the area.
06
Obstruction removal
We clear marine obstructions that affect navigation or coastal infrastructure.
07
Underwater welding
Carried out by welders certified by the Panama Canal Authority.
ACP certification
Water Retention and Treatment — Grupo Pitti
RETENTION AND WATER TREATMENT

Ground retention and water treatment

We design tailor-made solutions both to stabilize ground at risk of movement and to treat municipal and industrial wastewater, with consulting services included in every project.

GROUND RETENTION

Retaining walls with gabions and geocells

An advanced, sustainable approach to the challenges of ground stabilization and project protection, adapted to the specific conditions of each site.

Gabion retaining wall Gabions
Gabions
Stone cages that adapt to ground movement without losing strength.
Geocells
A cellular structure that confines the fill material and reinforces steep slopes.
WATER TREATMENT

Custom-designed treatment plants

We use advanced technology for efficient, sustainable treatment, from municipal wastewater through to industrial processes.

Coastal defenses

Sheet piles for coastal defense

We protect you against heavy wave action, rising sea levels and falling sand levels, with steel, fiberglass, PVC and aluminum sheet piles, interlocked to form a strong, long-lasting barrier.

Each material offers a different balance of strength, cost and installation, so we choose the one best suited to your site conditions and budget. Our team assesses wave action, soil type and how the property is used before recommending the final solution.

Material comparison

Sheet pile types

Ease of installation and durability vary by material. These are the options we work with and the kind of coastal project we recommend each one for.

Heavy wave action

Steel

Maximum strength and durability. Ideal for properties directly exposed to heavy waves or strong currents.

Saline environments

Fiberglass

Resistant to saltwater corrosion. A good option for coastal areas with high humidity and constant salt exposure.

Tight budget

Polyvinyl (PVC)

Quick, affordable installation. A good fit for residential or smaller-scale projects with moderate wave action.

Flexible designs

Aluminum

Lightweight and easy to adapt to different configurations. Useful when the site design calls for greater structural flexibility.

Retaining systems

Coastal retaining systems

We install coastal retaining systems with cranes and specialized equipment, driving the sheet piles directly into the ground to form a continuous barrier against the waves.

Long-term protection

Securing coastal stability and long-term protection

We also work with concrete sheet pile walls, a more rigid option for sites that need greater structural resistance against waves and high tide.
