The “River Plaza” residential development, promoted and built by the Teixeira Duarte Group, was the winner of the “Northern Housing” category of the 2024 National Real Estate Award, whose awards ceremony took place on April 18th. The 26th edition of the 2024 National Real Estate Award featured 44 finalist projects, with 14 projects being distinguished in 5 different categories. The National Real Estate Award is an initiative by Magazine Imobiliário, which aims to reward the quality and innovation of real estate development in Portugal.

Completed in 2023, the “River Plaza” is part of the urban transformation and revitalization that is underway in Vila Nova de Gaia, particularly next to Rotunda Eng.º Edgar Cardoso, which will benefit from one of the main metro stations of the future Rubi Line, with connection to the Casa da Música station, Devesas and Santo Ovídio, and where 2 other projects developed by Teixeira Duarte are also being sold and built, “Vintage 18” and “Kori Living Evolution”.

The recognition obtained by “River Plaza” in this competition proves the exceptionality of the project, filling with pride all the teams that, with enthusiasm and hard work, contributed to its completion.

Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. acquired laser scanning equipment with innovative technology that is currently unique in Portugal.

The NavVis VLX 3 is an industry-leading mobile mapping system that is fully portable and operated by just one person. Through laser scanning, it combines traditional surveying methods with advanced technology to capture and create accurate and comprehensive representations of physical spaces, both indoors and outdoors. It allows you to visualize them effectively and integrate them into existing workflows, enabling better understanding, planning and management of the built environment.

Laserscan is a technique that uses a laser beam to accurately measure the distance between the laser scanner and an object or surface, and is widely used in areas such as topographic mapping, civil engineering, architecture, archeology and monitoring of structures. Analysis of the data collected by laserscan allows the creation of detailed three-dimensional models of the existing environment and accurate information about the shape, size and characteristics of surfaces.

SLAM-based laserscan is a valuable tool in construction documentation, allowing everything from capturing precise measurements to creating detailed 3D models of existing structures or construction sites. This technology combines high-definition panoramic images with the accuracy of laserscan, providing construction industry professionals with the information they need to make informed decisions. When it comes to heritage, mobile mapping systems are a non-invasive, accurate and efficient solution for capturing historic sites and buildings. This technology is especially useful for projects that require extensive documentation, allowing you to preserve detailed 3D information for the documentation, restoration or conservation of historic sites.

Under the coordination of Teixeira Duarte’s Project Management, this technology is now available to enhance all of the Company’s projects and works.

On March 1st, Teixeira Duarte’s Project Department participated in one of the workshops of the XI Civil Engineering Journeys at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) with the theme “BIM in practice”. The workshop provided an insight into the work on implementing BIM at Teixeira Duarte.

Due to its relevance in the area of ​​Civil Engineering, Teixeira Duarte also joined these Conferences as a sponsor.

This event, which brings together students, teachers and companies with the purpose of enriching students’ training, offers an excellent opportunity to explore current and relevant topics, as well as to discover possible career paths in the area of ​​Civil Engineering.

Over the course of a week full of activities, participants had the opportunity to enrich their CVs and improve interpersonal skills, which are fundamental for professional success. This year, the Journeys were broadcast online, expanding the reach of the event.

Although they are aimed at Civil Engineering students at Instituto Superior Técnico, the Conferences were open to the participation of all interested public.

The assessment is based on fieldwork that takes place throughout the year with more than 50,000 citizens, 5,000 businesspeople and 800 journalists, and is carried out in accordance with the standards ISO20671 (strategy and strength assessment) and ISO10668 (financial assessment).

The methodology is based on a qualitative approach with regard to Brand Positioning, identifying and exploring all the values ​​and attributes mentioned spontaneously, and a quantitative approach for Brand Reputation, indicating and exploring in an induced way notoriety, emotional reputation ( relevance, consideration, trust, admiration, preference, recommendation), rational reputation (products, services, innovation, work environment, citizenship, environment, government, leadership, business and financial performance) and the behaviors resulting from reputational perception.

Teixeira Duarte thanks everyone who contributes daily to ensuring that its brand, which is over 100 years old, remains relevant and worthy of the market’s trust, allowing it to continue to “Do, contributing to the construction of a better world!”.
