Engineering Information

Morning All,

Looking for some engineering information and possibly contacts.

For concrete construction what design codes do they use in Colombia? Is it ACI 318?

Also does anyone know where I can find information on:
Large construction companies?
Large concrete contractors?
Post tensioning contractors?

Or any of the above but that might be larger regional companies with offices here in Colombia.

Any information or engineering directories appreciated,

Scott

Concrete designs in Colombia are ruled by NSR-98 (Norma de Construccion Sismoresistente), which is the local code for construction of structures.

I'll talk about an engineering company that works in all the areas possible. That is a relevant enterprise for industrial construction and another kinds of. If you want more info about it I can share it, the name is J.E. Jaimes Ingenieros S.A. the web page is only in Spanish www.jejaimesingenieros.com.co/ , that company is one of the companies that build a lot of industrial structures for ECOPETROL and another important petroleum companies like BP, Chevron, Schlumberger, and another... Pleas make a Click for photos in the world icon.

That company had contracts for construction in Most Regions in Colombia and outside of Colombia. The annual income is about 30 million of dollars aprox, not "net income" may be is not a big number if you compare to US companies, but here in Colombia is a very relevant number.
