We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the students and professionals who visited us. Together, we are building the future! #Events #Engineering #Madrid #Spain #University #JobFair #TPF

Supporting artistic and cultural initiatives is not just part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy—it’s a testament to our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Target 11.4, which underscores the importance of protecting and preserving cultural and natural heritage. Art and culture go beyond aesthetics; they enhance territorial attractiveness, inspire creativity, foster communication, and unite people from diverse backgrounds. One of our most recent cultural collaborations is the Nauti-poulpe exhibition in Brussels, an exceptional project realized in partnership with the City of Amiens, the City of Brussels, Galerie Champaka, and Interparking. This monumental bronze sculpture, a tribute to Jules Verne, is the creation of Belgian comic artist François Schuiten and French sculptor Pierre Matter. The sculpture, inaugurated on Friday, November 29, will be showcased in Brussels until February 2025, before its permanent installation in Amiens, France. It was produced by the Fonderies de Saint-Sauveur under the artistic direction of Pierre Matter. TPF has a long-standing history with comic art and particularly with François Schuiten. To commemorate TPF’s 30th anniversary in 2021, a special edition of Travel Book Mars by François Schuiten and Sylvain Tesson was published in 5,000 copies and gifted to our employees and clients. The values expressed in this book perfectly align with those of TPF. More recently, in 2022, TPF provided financial support for the creation of the Ukrainian edition of Brüsel, a graphic novel by François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters. This initiative was part of TPF’s solidarity efforts with Ukraine, reflecting a conflict that deeply resonates with us.

In November 2024, our team from TPF Sp. z o. o. had the privilege of participating in one of the largest and most prestigious events in Poland, in the railway transport sector. This annual congress brings together key players in rail transport, representatives from public administration, and experts to discuss the future of the Polish railroad. During the Congress, our team engaged in valuable exchanges, explored the latest trends and technological innovations, and shared insights on the development of rail transportation. It was an excellent opportunity to strengthen relations with our partners and take part in insightful conversations and knowledge sharing. We thank the organizers for their excellent preparation and all participants for the enriching discussions. We look forward to the next editions! #RailIndustry #RailwayCongress2024Poland #TPFSpzoo #PolishRail #TransportInnovation #RailExperts

This prestigious program of the Royal Academy of Engineering in Spain (RAI) aims to promote female talent in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics sectors (STEM). At TPF, we are convinced that Mentoring has become essential to tackle the under-representation of women in these sectors. In the last edition of the program, two of our colleagues, ANA ISABEL PERAL RUANO, Director of the Territorial Area and Quality Control, and Angel Marquez, Director of the Transport Infrastructures Division at TPF INGENIERÍA participated as mentors. They had the privilege of guiding two talented women, supporting their transition from university to the professional world. This experience was not only enriching for the mentees but also for our mentors. As mentors, we offered personalized mentoring, sharing our knowledge and expertise to support mentees' career development, facilitate skill acquisition and informed decision-making. Additionally, we encouraged our mentees to seize every networking opportunity and linked them to new connections in the industrial world. Thanks to the support of universities and sponsors, we also ensured that mentees had access to free training, breaking down financial barriers. The fundamental objective of the program was to provide our mentees with a clear and practical understanding of the skills and abilities that the job market demands today, as well as the opportunity to become aware of their innate talents and capabilities, discovering how to leverage them in their future professional careers. In male-dominated sectors, expanding networks is essential for career growth and professional growth. A big thank to the Royal Academy of Engineering for giving us the opportunity to support female talent and for creating a meeting point between the corporate world and the new generations of the best university talent.   #TPFIngenieria #WomeninSTEM #Mentoring #FemaleTalent #CareerDevelopment #RAI #Mentoring #ExcellenceProgram

Today on World Sustainable Transport Day, we want to remind the crucial role that transportation plays in connecting people, fostering economic growth and creating employment. At the same time, we recognize the importance of making transport safer, more efficient and more sustainable. At TPF, we are committed to delivering transport solutions that enhance mobility while respecting our planet. To mark this day, we are proud to highlight our significant role in the ongoing Bucharest Metro Expansion project in Romania, particularly in the development of the first section of Metro Line M6. This section, stretching 7.6 kilometers between the future Tokyo station and Otopeni Airport, will feature six stations and two parallel tunnels. TPF INGENIERÍA, in collaboration with our Romanian team, TPF INGINERIE , is entrusted with the structural design of the tunnels, ground consolidation, terrain monitoring, and all buildings within the project area. In addition to this project, we are also involved in other metro projects worldwide or have been in the past, contributing to green urban environment in cities such as Algiers, Ankara, Bogota, Brussels, Lima, Lisbon, Madrid, Porto, Santiago de Chile and Tbilisi. #WorldSustainableTransportDay #SustainableTransport #SmartTransport #SafeTransport #Mobility #TPF #TPFIngenieria #TPFInginerie #EnvironmentalResponsibility #UrbanMobility #SustainableCities #MetroProjects 

We are thrilled to announce that the Delhaize Belgium Home Shop Delivery Center project, developed by Montea in Forest (Brussels), has been nominated for the Belgian Construction Awards in the Climate Future category. This award recognises construction projects that make a significant ecological difference through innovative and sustainable design and their ability to adapt to climate change. TPF ENGINEERING and its architectural firm Arcoteam sprl have been involved in this project, ensuring the architectural design, the structural engineering and the technical studies. With a forward-thinking approach, the design prioritizes sustainability through features like solar panels, green roofs, and a mini-urban forest, which will blend seamlessly with Brussels’ green belt, enhancing land conservation. Congratulations to Montea and Delhaize for this nomination!
