ABOUT US
Since its establishment in 1977, AETESS has driven technological development in the field of geotechnical engineering for more than 40 years, while promoting quality, security and defending the economic and professional interests of its members. Besides having a General Assembly and Executive Board, the Association is also structured into Working Committees with various objectives. These Committees energize the internal functioning of the Association and constitute a meeting ground where professionals from different companies can share, debate and agree on proposals aimed at creating improvements in our sector.

WORKING COMMITTEES

TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR:
JOSÉ LUIS ARCOS
RODIO KRONSA

This committee is tasked with promoting, carrying out and supervising the technical research projects developed by our Association. Throughout the years, it has created numerous publications and conducted many studies, as well as advised the Ministry of Public Works and collaborated with other techno-scientific associations and societies. In addition, the committee is responsible for coordinating the conferences and congresses in which our Association participates.

YOUNG ENGINEERS COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR:
BELÉN RODRÍGUEZ CABALLERO
KELLER

The Young Engineers Committee manages cooperation between Spanish universities and our association, with the aim of bringing future professionals into the world of geotechnical engineering. This is achieved by inviting them to learn about the projects completed by our member companies and by sharing our technical expertise. In collaboration with teachers, the committee organizes a variety of activities with students, such as conferences and visits to sites and machinery yards, while also discussing the range of professional options available to them in geotechnical engineering upon the completion of their studies.

HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR:
MIGUEL SÁNCHEZ GUIJARRO
KELLER

This committee focuses on promoting and improving on-site safety in the work carried out by our member companies. Here, the representatives of the safety and risk prevention divisions of each company meet periodically in order to share their experience and discuss the prevention measures adopted. In addition, this committee is also responsible for promoting and organizing conferences related to health and safety.

R+D+I & SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR:
NICOLÁS MARTÍN
SOLUTEC

This committee concentrates on disseminating the technological innovations achieved by the manufacturers of machinery and equipment used in special foundations and soil treatments. These innovations are primarily concerned with safety, sustainability and digitalization. Moreover, the committee conducts research on materials that allow for safe excavation and drilling of the soil (such as bentonite mud or polymers), as well as reinforcement materials (such as tubular steel pipes for micropiles or ground anchors with cables or special bars).

COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR:
MAURICIO GUILLÉN

The Communication Committee of AETESS has the mission to keep alive and update the communication channels of the Association, which are mainly the website and the Sosial Media as LinkedIn profile. Likewise, it is in charge of establishing the publication criteria in the social networks in which AETESS is active, which are Twitter and YouTube. It also organizes the resources for the promotion and dissemination of the Association's activities.

JOINT SEMSIG-AETESS COMMITTEE
COORDINATOR:
ENRIQUE TORRES GARCÍA-LOMAS
PRESIDENT OF AETESS

The joint SEMSIG-AETESS Committee is equally composed of representatives from both organizations. Its main objective is to organize the technical conferences that we have hosted for the past two decades. The committee is also tasked with promoting symposiums, conferences, courses, seminars and other activities, as well as fostering collaboration with other organizations with the Spanish geotechnical community.
