About LEBER

Our hallmark
LEBER Planificación e Ingeniería, S.A. is a consulting firm that specialises in transport engineering, traffic and mobility and which has been in business for over 20 years; some of our team have an even longer track record.
We offer a wide range of services that are aligned with our goal of analysing and generating new alternatives for construction or management decisions and projects, designed to improve the transport system and, as a result, the quality and economic efficiency of our towns, cities, metropolitan areas and autonomous communities.
Since we started operating as a company back in February 1989 we have set ourselves the goal of providing these services independently, creatively and according to state-of-the-art standards. We are also aware of our responsibility to meet the three different aspects of sustainability criteria: Economic Development, Social Equality and Environmental Respect.
Out traditional line of work has been based on achieving the highest levels of efficiency in transport systems and also examining the effectiveness of the system beyond the realm of transport itself, adopting a systematic approach to identify the influence of urban development, economic efficiency, urban quality of life and environmental quality in our residential and work areas.
