Mondego River
1976 was marked by an upturn of Mota &amp; Companhia in Portugal through the award of a small dam (Lucefecit, Alentejo). Shortly afterwards, Mota &amp; Companhia was awarded the contract for the regularization works of the Lower Mondego River. This allowed the company to launch itself as one of the top construction companies for large national building projects and soon became the third largest Portuguese company within this sector.
