Constructora de Hato Rey is a major construction and civil engineering company headquartered in Hato Rey, Boriquén, Nouvelle Alexandrie. Founded in 1685 AN, the company has established itself as one of the Federation's premier construction firms, specializing in civil engineering, project management, high-precision construction, restoration of historical structures, specialized building trades, and communications infrastructure development. With over 8,350 employees and annual revenue exceeding NAX€ 2.7 billion, it ranks among the top three construction companies in Nouvelle Alexandrie and is the largest construction firm in the Boriquén region.
Operations
Constructora de Hato Rey maintains its headquarters in a distinctive 32-story tower in downtown Hato Rey, built in 1728 AN. The company operates regional offices in all twelve Regions of Nouvelle Alexandrie, with major facilities in Punta Santiago, Cárdenas, Parap, and Lausanne. International operations are coordinated through offices in Constancia and Oportia.
The company maintains one of the largest equipment fleets in Nouvelle Alexandrie, including 87 tower cranes, 215 excavators, 430 heavy-duty trucks, and specialized equipment for historical restoration work. Its material testing laboratory just outside Hato Rey serves as a research facility for construction materials science.
Notable Projects
Hato Rey Metropolitan Transit System
Between 1723 AN and 1730 AN, Constructora de Hato Rey served as the primary contractor for the NAX€ 4.2 billion Hato Rey Metropolitan Transit System, encompassing 78 kilometers of underground metro lines, 42 stations, and related infrastructure. The project represented the largest single construction contract in New Alexandrian history at that time and transformed urban mobility in the capital of Boriquén.
Hato Rey-Yabucoa-Guánica High-Speed Rail
The company led the civil engineering consortium that constructed the 839-kilometer Hato Rey-Yabucoa-Guánica High-Speed Rail line, completed in 1739 AN at a cost of NAX€ 7.8 billion. This extensive infrastructure project connects Hato Rey to the city of Yabucoa in central Boriquén and ends in the city of Guánica, in southeastern Boriquén, creating the backbone of Boriquén's regional rail network. The project required the construction of 73 bridges and 41 tunnels through diverse terrains ranging from coastal plains to challenging mountain passes. With trains operating at speeds up to 320 km/h, the network dramatically reduced intercity travel times and has transported over 45 million passengers since its inauguration.
Palace of Carranza Restoration
Following the Spring Crisis of 1739, Constructora de Hato Rey was awarded the sensitive contract to restore the Palace of Carranza in Cárdenas while implementing discreet security upgrades. The project required integration of modern security systems without compromising the architectural integrity of the structure.
National Museum of New Alexandrian History
Completed in 1740 AN, the National Museum of New Alexandrian History in Cárdenas showcased the company's ability to blend modern construction techniques with traditional architectural elements. The NAX€ 580 million project features innovative earthquake-resistant design while incorporating aesthetic elements from all twelve Regions of the Federation.
Force 1752 Infrastructure Program
Since 1740 AN, the company has been a major contractor for the Force 1752 infrastructure program, completing over NAX€ 3.2 billion in specialized facilities for the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie. These projects include communications centers, training facilities, and logistical infrastructure, many with classified specifications.
International Projects
Notable international projects include:
- The New Alexandrian Embassy Complex in Petropolis, Constancia (1730 AN);
- The New Alexandrian Embassy Complex in Vanie, Oportia (1739 AN).
- Development of port facilities in Vanie and Port d'Est, Oportia through a joint venture with local firms (1742 AN);
Controversies
The company experienced a three-month work stoppage in 1732 AN due to disputes with the Federal Confederation of Trade Unions regarding safety protocols and compensation at high-risk project sites. The dispute was resolved through mediation with the implementation of new industry safety standards and adjusted compensation for hazardous work conditions.
The Hato Rey-Yabucoa-Guánica High-Speed Rail project generated controversy regarding its environmental impact on sensitive ecological areas, with special concern given to areas where the Cotorra Boriqueña maintains its habitat. In response, the company implemented additional mitigation measures beyond regulatory requirements.
