Trevi Group - The history - The Company

HISTORY

TREVI GROUP is established in 1957 under the name "Impresa Palificazioni TREVISANI Geom. DAVIDE", after the name of its founder.

In those years, the concepts at the basis of TREVI's own foundation philosophy were already beginning to take shape, where special foundations works were supported by technological development, human capabilities, continuous research and design of the equipment most suitable for the execution of each single product, that is, principles that were and still are the force points and the reason for more than thirty years of success conquered by the TREVI Group in Italy and in the world. In 1962, the first self-moving equipment is patented, to be used for the execution of driven piles and in 1967 the first Rotary is designed and patented, for the excavation of large diameter bored piles. 1967 is also the year of the first acquisition of a large scope job order abroad, involving the execution of the foundations of Apapa road, in Lagos, Nigeria.

In 1969 Davide Trevisani and his brother Gianluigi, who joined PALI TREVISANI in 1962, established the company SOILMEC, the engineering company of the Group, a company that today is among the main worldwide leaders in the field of foundation rigs. The following steps making up the Group's history: in 1971 PILOTES TREVI is founded in Argentina, in 1973 TECNOSOL S.p.A. is founded, with office in Rome, which is specialised in geognostic surveys and in water research, and which, in 1975, is awarded with the contract for the execution of the foundation piles for the thermoelectric power plant of Porto Tolle. In 1977, TREVI FOUNDATIONS NIGERIA LTD started the foundation works for the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos. Always in the period 1977-1980, the works for the Port of Bandar Abbas in Iran are acquired, as well as the works for the Commercial Port of Gioia Tauro, in Italy; the drilling and grouting works for the cut-off works relevant to the Dam of Alicura in Argentina and Khao Laem in Thailand. In 1979, Cesare Trevisani joins the Group and starts his activity. The period 1980-1985 witnesses the establishment of TREVI HONG KONG (1980), TREVI LTD PHILIPPINES BRANCH (1981) and ITALTHAI-TREVI COMPANY LTD in Thailand (1982).

In 1983, PALI TREVISANI becomes TREVI S.p.A., to signify the technological diversification that has occurred in the field of the small diameter drilling technology, the consolidation of the know-how required in the "drilling and grouting sector", and the strong vocation of the Group to acquire main job orders abroad.

The last years are mainly connected with TREVI's commitment in the tunnel sector, with the development of advanced equipment and technologies. The presence on the market is confirmed by important acquired contracts such as the Bridge on the Tagus River (Portugal), Ertan Dam (China), the Beira Port (Mozambique), Central Artery in Boston (U.S.A.) and other dozens of international accomplishments.

Today the Group is an extremely dynamic reality, a Group that is consolidated in the technologies used so far and always researching new solutions adapted to solve problems that nowadays are more and more complex and challenging for civil engineering worldwide. A Group where the most advanced tools in the field of research and technology live along with entrepreneurial tradition and with the will to invest capitals and human resources in order to remain competitive and winning.
