# Webuild — Global engineering and construction group for hydropower, water and complex infrastructure

> Webuild is an Italian engineering and construction group with roots dating to 1906 and projects across mobility, clean hydro-energy, water and buildings. Its energy relevance is concentrated in major dams, hydropower and pumped-storage schemes. Project roles vary: Webuild may lead a joint venture or execute defined civil-work lots, so this profile identifies the awarded scope and does not characterize every reference as a full-plant EPC contract.
