100 Years of Expertise

ICOP International

Engineer Alvise Petrucco founded Impresa F.lli Costantini e Ing. Petrucco in 1920. Today, that family business has grown into ICOP: an internationally operating geotechnical engineering company with expertise in special foundations, microtunneling, maritime construction, and general contractor services.

ICOP has worked in 25 countries and has opened permanent operations in 12 of them. ICOP International attributes its success to the people behind the business, and treats the company “as if it were a community.”
