PRE-HISTORY

The pre-history of Albatroz Engineering begins in the year 2003,
when the name was registered legally to create a company in the
area of three-dimensional reconstruction of out-door environments.

Enrollment in an Entrepreneurship Course proposed by the IN+, a research unit of Instituto Superior Técnico of the Technical University Lisbon led to the creation of a business plan aimed at companies working in civil engineering and heritage restoration.

For multiple reasons the venture was suspended until 2005, when the problem of three-dimensional over-head line track modelling began to generate greater interest.

In early 2004, Gomes Mota began to work on the issue of over-head line inspection with an emphasis on track clearance and obstacle detection. In 2005, he invited Alberto Vale to join this effort in a R&D project and the results were submitted to CIGRÉ06. The rest is ...

HISTORY

The company was founded in February 2006.

On the first of March, 2006, Gomes Mota and Alberto Vale inaugurated the first office in Lisbon.

The first challenge was to develop a 3D reconstruction system for over-head lines track clearance inspection. From the start, it was apparent that the most interesting approach would be to integrate multiple inspections in one single mission, so other skills and resources were acquired.

During the Spring and Summer of 2006, the team was improved with the skills of Miguel Ramos, Décio Bento, Carlos Silva e Luís Pimentel and the temporary collaboration of foreign interns.

In February 2007, Albatroz Engineering moved its office to a larger area in Lisbon downtown.
