The Group
Innovation
As one of our main axes of management, innovation keeps our knowledge-based services at the forefront of technology. We foster innovation through R&D, participating in numerous projects, often partnering with clients, Universities and Technological and Research Institutions, while our dedicated R&D Committee motivates, monitors and informs.
YEAR 2023
Greater strategic approach in innovation and digitalisation
TYPSA has been committed to innovation for three decades through its Software Development Department, and three years ago was joined by the TYPSA Digital Accelerator, a unit to support innovation and process digitalisation for both clients and the Group itself.
Improvements:
- Promotion and design of new digital business initiatives for task automation through the development of new digital products, especially in the civil engineering sector, as well as the creation of the Data Office to help create new products and services.
- Strong investment in information systems to ensure growth: The capacity of the communications network has been increased by 500% in addition to generating new tools for monitoring the entire network and the management of ICT assets.
- Improvements in the Information Security System with renewed certification according to ISO 27001. Update perimeter and agent security for remote connections. Deployment of encryption policies on removable and security storage devices.
- Precise project alignment with the three core innovation strategies, with the active involvement of the R&D management committee.
STRATEGIC RESEARCH AREAS
GOING DIGITAL AND THE COLLABORATIVE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
n PCCMB-ATHENA
Tool for automatic quality audits in BIM and data models.
SERAPIS
Corporate repository for scripts, automations and other digital assets of the Group, incorporating the ENGESTATS solution, developed in Brazil by ENGECORPS for intellectual property protection and use monitoring.
ROSETTA
Innovative corporate platform of geo-referenced data aimed at enriching own and client projects.
BIG-TYP-AI
Artificial intelligence laboratory of the Group, focused on the combination of natural language models with information recovery systems and context generation.
DT-TYPSA, Digital Twins
Incorporation of support tools for the digital twin of the corporate headquarters, integrating monitoring information of the different systems of the building thanks to the GOLID platform.
TYPSA-BIM-PM
New impetus to the strategic tool to support supervision of works and projects. Important functionalities have been completed in the mobile application.
The Group takes a technological leap with the incorporation of Teknés Innovación, which brings great expertise in structural monitoring and geotechnical auscultation, along with advanced proprietary technology.
SUSTAINABILITY OF BUILDINGS, INFRASTRUCTURES, AND CITIES
PVGRAdTM
new generation of the TYPSA Group photovoltaic solar plants design programme. The climate change module developed through an R&D contract with the Universitat Politècnica de València has been completed.
PVGRAd website
Innovative business model by which various design optimisation services for photovoltaic solar plants will be offered and managed.
WLC. Whole Life Cycle
Delves into the tools for the analysis of sustainability variables throughout the entire infrastructure lifespan, focusing on the economy decarbonisation impact.
All projects are developed under our UNE 166002 certified R+D Management
CONSULTING, ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL EXCELLENCE
ENHANCINGFRC
Optimisation of the design of fibre-reinforced concrete elements in tunnels and underground works. Project developed under an industrial doctoral agreement with the Uni-versitat Politècnica de Catalunya and with the support of the Laboratory of Structural and Material Technology of the Barcelona School of Civil Engineering.
MAESTRALE
Improvement and automation of wind generator structural design. Project completed with an update of the tools allowing automation of certain design processes.
KSTIFF-WIND
Reaction coefficients for wind turbine foundations. New research in the field of geotechnical engineering focused on the parameters that define soil-structure interaction in wind turbines and the use of finite element models.
RAILSAFE
New capabilities for the simulation of railway safety assessments. Following the incorporation of new tools and procedures, TYPSA has successfully completed the accreditation process with ENAC as an inspection body for safety in railway applications in the Control, Command and Signalling subsystem, in accordance with the criteria established in ISO/IEC 17020:2012.
GESTIONAVENIDAS
Project focused on the operational phase of dams. A computer application has been generated which calculates, in real time, the hydrograph of the inflow to the reservoir. The application compares recorded rainfall with the design hydrograph and evaluates the outflow hydrograph through the dam’s drainage structures based on the set of previously established operational strategies.
We design new solutions and services based on combining technical aspects and technology
INDUCED INNOVATION
We place strategic value on induced innovation, which we carry out to provide imaginative, cutting-edge technological solutions that meet the needs of our clients.
TYPSA-RL-23. HIGH SPEED BRAIN
Solving complex problems in high-speed railway infrastructure design. Technological innovations to face complex challenges related to treatment of the terrain; the structural calculation of viaducts, the design of large ventilation structures and shafts or the unique tunnel segments.
TYPSA-WP-SP-23. ROKUA
Engineering development for the construction of solar photovoltaic plants in very cold climates. Innovation related to geotechnical and hydrological aspects for the deployment of renewable energies in soft or contaminated soils, which present challenges for land-use planning.
