Construction experts agree that, second only to a nuclear plant, the most difficult construction projects are U.S. embassies and consulates.

Crocsa participated in the construction of the U.S. Consulate General Compound in Juarez for the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO), the real estate arm of the U.S. Department of State that is in charge of the design, construction and major maintenance of these types of properties abroad. This seven-building complex (NOB, GSO, Utility, S-CAC, C-CAC, M-CAC and parking deck), which became the largest of its kind in the world, required more than 19,684 yards3 (15,026 m3) of various resistance concretes, two years to complete and it represented a logistical and technical challenge like none Crocsa had faced before.

From start to finish the security and safety of this project were without a doubt of most critical importance to the owner. All people had to pass through strict security controls and even retinal scans to access the site.There were also distinct clearance levels for employees at the various areas of the jobsite and the same procedures were followed for inbound and outbound materials, vehicles, equipment and tools. The technical and execution requirements of this fortress constantly put the Crocsa team to the test. Its high degree of specification, quality and the review and approval of shop drawings, information and classified information for construction demanded a team of very dedicated administrative, technical, field and health and safety personnel always focused on the highest level of planning, management and execution.

Being a diplomatic facility, the land, the construction plan and later the building would turn into sovereign American property. That’s why we can proudly say that Crocsa is one of the few Mexican construction companies that have worked on United States ground.
