Heavy Construction

Expanding the Panama Canal

It has always been Sococo's driving goal to make sure we do the job right: on time and on budget. Since throughout our history the majority of our work has been General Construction projects for Government agencies with strict project timelines and competitive bid processes this has been a critical factor in Sococo's long term success.

We are extremely proud of the reputation we have built for ourselves in the market and the knowledge that we have never failed to turn over a job on time. In the case of the Arenal Hydroelectric Dam which we built for ICE (the Costa Rican power company) we actually turned over the completed project almost 12 months ahead of schedule. This was remarkable mostly in that it was a very large earth-fill dam built on the flanks of an active volcano in a part of the country that receives over 4 meters of rain annually and has on average only 17 days year without rain.

Other projects have included widening of a key section of the Panama Canal and over 200 kms of highway construction in Honduras. In 2006 Sococo applied for and received its ISO 9000 official certification of our quality control systems. ISO is world renowned as the standard in quality management systems and we are very proud to be recognized by this organization.
