Engineering support for international companies investing in Chile
Ulloa Ingeniería (Ulloa Engineering) is a Chilean engineering consultancy based in Puerto Montt, in the heart of the salmon farming region. We support foreign companies, technology suppliers and investors that need local engineering, permits and site supervision for water-related projects in Chile.
What we bring
Chilean regulations, end to end
We prepare the technical files required by the DGA (water rights and hydraulic works), the SEA (environmental permits PAS 155, 156 and 157 within DIA/EIA), the DOH (river works and stormwater), the SISS and local water utilities, and the Health Authority (wastewater and industrial effluents).
Aquaculture know-how
We have worked with salmon farmers since 2009 on flow-through and RAS hatcheries, smolt and post-smolt facilities and processing plants. We regularly coordinate with RAS technology suppliers on everything outside their scope: intakes, external networks, discharges, utilities and civil works.
Engineering you can audit
Every calculation comes with an editable spreadsheet, a calculation report and, where relevant, a coordinated Revit/IFC model.
Remote and on site
We work remotely with online meetings and shared models, and we are on site in southern Chile (Los Lagos, Los Ríos, Araucanía, Biobío and Aysén) when the project needs it.
Deliverables in English
Reports, drawings and model data can be delivered in English or in both languages.
