SENER is a private engineering and technology group founded in 1956. Specializing in activities related to Engineering and Construction, it has industrial holdings in companies working in the areas of energy, environment, and aeronautics.
SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas
The Engineering and Construction area, called SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas, has a turnover of more than 653 million euros (2011 figures), about 2,200 employees and branch offices in Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United States, and India [citation needed]. The company develops projects in the sectors of Aerospace, Civil, Architecture, Power and Process and Marine Engineering.
Aerospace Engineering
Since 1967,[2] SENER has supplied equipment, systems integration and engineering services to international markets in the fields of Space, Aeronautics, Vehicles and Defense.
In the space field, the company develops components and systems for the flight segment in its three areas of activity: precision mechanisms,
In Aeronautics and Vehicles, the company delivers detailed designs for automotive vehicles as well as complex tooling facilities for aeronautical production lines. In this field, it has delivered turn-key production systems for wing stringer production and HTP assembly for the A350XWB. Regarding part production, SENER delivers turn-key equipment such as hot forming systems and pultrusion machines for wing spar production.
In the Defense field, SENER's main area of activity is that of
In 2019, SENER and CATEC completed the delivery of the telemetry and telecom, and antennas for the European Agency's PROBA-3 mission, for which SENER Aerospacial is the prime contractor. This group of antennas for the PROBA-3 mission includes the first one made by SENER Aerospacial using metal 3D printing. [5]
Power and Process
SENER develops processing and electricity generating plants, especially combined-cycle, co-generation and solar thermal power plants (the company has participated in projects involving 26 plants in India, Spain and the USA, outstanding among which are
Civil and Architecture
In this sector, SENER develops complete engineering projects for railroad infrastructure (International High Speed Line Figueras-Perpignan), high speed lines (sections of the high-speed lines Madrid-Valencia and Madrid-Barcelona), metros and Light Rail Systems, LRS (as lines 1, 2 and 4 of the Bilbao Metro, line 9 of the Barcelona metro or the light rail in Porto), roads and highways (developing technical standards for the
Marine
SENER has always retained its original marine vocation, and it is in this area that the company is specially acclaimed for its FORAN System.[6] FORAN is a CAD/CAM system for the design, production and manufacture of ships. The system comprises several application packages, a number of common modules (build strategy, 2D drafting, 3D walk-through design review, concurrent engineering), links with production equipment, interfaces to management systems and even its own integrated development environment. The system runs on Windows workstations connected through LAN or WAN, permitting a fully interactive and concurrent definition of the ship 3D product model. The most recent design information is saved in an Oracle database providing designers with a wide range of complementary disciplines. When designing each ship part or each sub-assembly, it allows to define production processes in parallel mode, thus enabling the generation (for the most part, automatic) of custom-made, accurate and well-organized production information. The company also undertakes engineering projects for ship design and engineering, such as the repair and modernization of the
SENER Grupo de Ingeniería
SENER Grupo de Ingeniería - the matrix company - promotes and takes part in manufacturing and production businesses. Through its Aeronautics area, it is present in consortium, such as Industria de Turbopropulsores
SENER Foundation
In 2002 SENER established the SENER Foundation[7] having as a goal to support the training and work of people or groups from Spain or other countries that stand out for their scientific or technological competence, thus contributing to the progress of society. In support of young newly graduated engineers, the Foundation awards scholarships for postgraduate studies that are followed by an employment internship at SENER, which is a way to facilitate the integration of these professionals in technology projects.
