ever before have stars aligned as now: at
Nleast not those gravita ng around the
infrastructure sector in Colombia. And
this is not a coincidence of the stars. It is a
circumstan al phenomenon that took place due
toahighdoseofpoli calwillandwhich,insimple
words, aims at overcoming the pi alls that have
stood in the development of infrastructure in the
country.
It is not fortuitous that the State has nowadays
specializeden estotakecareofthesector,such
as the Na onal Agency of Infrastructure (ANI) or
the Finance Company of Na onal Development
(FDN). Neither was accidental the enac ng of
standards – such as the law of Public-Private
Associa ons (APP) or the Infrastructure Law – to
s mulate the ini a ve of par culars while
ensuring the complete development of projects.
Last but not least is the fact that the necessary
resources to raise the flags of a true historical
revolu on in terms of roads, airports, rail
networks, fluvial naviga on and airports are
available.
All the above-men oned - which has been
a ained in recent mes - is a powerful an dote
that from now has started to delete the lag marks
that were impressed for decades on na onal
infrastructure. But, in the interests of dele ng
those lag marks -once and for all- the role of
private construc on companies will be final: in
fact,itisalready.
And if it is about bringing to the table the names
of those companies that have contributed to the
development of the country in terms of
infrastructure,oneofthefirstthatcomestoone's
mind is Conalvías: An engineering firm that had
already measured the need to address this flank
long before the Na onal Government undertook
this crusade to recover the state of roads, ports
and rail networks. So much so, that it has been
working for 35 years with commitment and
responsibilityinworksofsheermagnitude.
Among those projects that Conalvías has enabled
to come true we can men on, in first place, the
majes c La Aguacatala bridge of Medellin, which
was even awarded the Asocreto Award in year
2000. In Cali, to bring up another project, we
would like to highlight the depression of
Colombia Avenue, which received the Cemex
Award 2014. or the construc on of the Jairo
Varela square that earned the same recogni on
in2015,tonamebutafew.
In short, the list of contribu ons made by
Conalvías to the improvement of the na onal
infrastructure is long. Now its role in the future
will be even more important, basically for the
responsibility it already has to put forward new
ini a ves that will be under its charge, such as
the construc on of the third lane of the
Bogotá-Girardothighway.
But Conalvías' responsibili es do not merely
circumscribe to the Colombian territory. For 15
years,theorganiza onhaswideneditsrangeof
ac on through the execu on of infrastructure
projects in the interna onal markets of Perú
and Panamá, where it is s ll present. It likewise
enteredtheUnitedStatesaroundyear2010.
It is in this way that Conalvías was born 'shy' in
Cali in 1980, under the direc on of the civil
engineers César Jaramillo and Edgar Jaramillo,
and is nowadays -35 years later- undoubtedly
one of the firms called to revolu onize the
Colombian infrastructure and to place it to the
level of countries that, like Mexico or Brazil,
found the key to overcome their lag.
¡Congratula ons!
35 truly magnificent years

MEMORIES OF AN ENTREPRENEUR
n two previous mes, I a empted to create partnerships
Ibut neither succeeded. In my first a empt, my partner
had an accident and in the second, interpersonal
rela onships prevented 'Constructores Unidos'
(Constructors Together) - the company that had risen as a
partnership - from prevailing. This second predicament,
however, taught me an important lesson: for a partnership
to succeed, someone needs to lead. Where two try to lead,
neither actually does. While I was working for the Conciviles
construc on firm in a project located in Mesitas del Colegio,
in my last year I had the opportunity of sharing me with
engineer Edgar Jaramillo, my first cousin. He had just
graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering. A er I
stopped working for Conciviles, I thought of him as my ideal
partner.
Due to the circumstances, tempers and for being 15 years
younger, Edgar accepted me as the leader of the company. I
saw him as a hard-working man. I would like to highlight his
honesty, a fundamental element in partnerships, where it is
noteasytotrustotherpeople.
I truly believe that, in order to succeed in any ac vity, three
condi ons are required: financial support, knowledge and a
passion for the ac vity to be performed. These three
requirementsareabsolutelynecessary.
So, by the me I reached the fourth decade of my life,
everything unfolded naturally. I had found the right person
to partner with, I had 16 years of experience in civil
engineering, I had seed funding and was finishing the work I
was assigned in Conciviles. In this way, I felt confident to
open, together with my cousing and a secretary, 'Jaramillo
Ingenieros' in the city of Cali - the partnership that would
laterbecomeConalvíasS.A.
“I never imagined the company would
Work, perseverance and dedica on are some of the words
that characterize engineer César Jaramillo, cornerstone in
the crea on of Conalvías, as well as the posi oning,
consolida on and globaliza on in the different markets.
grow to such an extent” César Jaramillo
César Jaramillo, Country Manager Panamá
Some first-hand anecdotes as told by
this gentleman, for whom an
introduc on is not needed.
We began working with contracts with the
Municipal Companies of Cali and the
municipalityofCali,buildingstreets,waterand
sewage networks in neighborhoods. We also
entered into contracts with Ferrocarriles
Nacionales to repair culverts in the railways of
ValleandQuindio.Wealsobeganbuildingrural
roads for state enterprises, Fondo Nacional de
Caminos Vecinales and the Corporación
AutónomaRegionaldelValledelCauca(CVC).
At that me, we purchased machinery
intended specifically for the higher volume of
ac vity required in the contracts we engaged.
Edgar was a newlywed, he was in charge of the
works in the city and I was responsible for
works outside of the city... what I have always
loved:earthmoving, highways,bridges,andso
on….
Two projects were our launch pad. The first
one was the urbanism work we undertook for
Ingenio Melendez, a residen al community
south of Cali and the second, the construc on
of access routers to the Calima III hydroelectric
power plant, promoted by CVC. From that
point on, we had a sufficient grounding in
knowledgeandbecamearenownedcompany.
The development of these works took place at
the same me one of the largest construc on
companies went bankrupt, specialized in
buildings and infrastructure construc on in
the capital city of Valle del Cauca. Facing this
situa on, we prac cally replaced the said
company in the market of road infrastructure,
while a firm of An oquia replaced it in the
construc onofbuildings.
Fromthatmomenton,thepartnershipbeganto
grow and grow and, being honest, I never
imagined the company would grow to such an
extent. I remember the words of the owner of
Conciviles, who used to say that: it was be er to
be the owner of a small company, than a big
company, because the la er would have to face
so many issues and there was the need to make
difficult decisions. But iner a pushes one
forward to grow. It is clear that the 180-degree
turn that Conalvías experienced in this aspect
wasimplementedbymysonAndrésJaramillo.
Even though Andrés studied Economics and
Business Administra on, for a long me he
visited work sites with me. That is why he is
some sort of 'empirical engineer', as ever since
he was studying, he has worked with us. When
he finished university, he started to work full-
me and in years 97 and 98, a genera onal
takeover took place in the company. Andrés
took the lead and I stood in the back. I devoted
myselftobuildandAndrés,tomanage.
While I was the manager of the company, our
company was based in Cali. Se ng up an office
in Bogotá was Andrés' ini a ve, and so it was to
expandtoothercountries.
Nowadays, I am the Country Manager in
Panamá-. Star ng in this country was not easy,
but we managed to consolidate. Currently, I am
75 years old and with plenty of air in my lungs, I
feel sa sfied for the accomplished duty, for
having trained, provided for my family and,
above all, to know how it feels like - as ex-
president Uribe used to say: I laid the eggs but
someoneelsehatchedthem.
4 AGOSTO 2015

A STORY OF CHALLENGES
Who were César Jaramillo and Edgar Jaramillo
when the decade of the 80's started, before
foundingConalvías?
As civil engineers both of us worked for the
Conciviles construc on company in a hydroelectric
plant located in Mesitas del Colegio (Cundinamarca).
While working there, César proposed me to set up a
partnership which at the beginning was named
JARAMILLO INGENIEROS. I had been working as an
engineer for two years, César had more experience. I
accepted and we agreed to set up the partnership in
San agodeCali.
When did the company changed its name to
Conalvías?
Fiveyearslatera erweincorporatedthecompany,it
was named Conalvías S.A The first work that we
executed as a company was “La Riverita” parceling
projectinthecityofCali.
Doyourememberwhatwasyourstar ngcapital?
Our capital was a Suzuki car, the Toyota car of César
and the loader we purchased - a 944. I remember we
purchased it on credit and we divided the ini al
repayment into equal parts, each according to our
shareinthepartnership.
Howmanypeopleformedthecompanybackatthat
me?
Inthatstage,wewereonlyCésar,asecretaryandme.
When we started, we worked from Sunday to
Sunday. César and me used to do absolutely
everything. In addi on to being engineers, we
workedastopographers,recep onists,etc…
Whatwasthepurposeofcrea ngthecompany?
Our purpose was to build Civil Engineering works in
CaliandinValledelCauca.
From Jaramillo Ingenieros to Conalvías S.A.
Howdidthosefirstworksgo?
We submi ed eight bids and we were awarded two:
one in San Pedro neighborhood and another one in
Primavera neighborhood, for water and sewage
networks.WhileCésardevotedhimselftoLaRiverita
parceling, I, on the other hand, was in charge of
waterandsewageworksintheseneighborhoods.
We grew stronger and simultaneously began
submi ng tenders for other works with the Fondo
de Caminos Vecinales in Valle del Cauca and there,
we were also awarded some roads. César was
responsible for the execu on of works outside of
Cali and I took on works in the city. Outside of Cali,
we won the access route to Calima III, a rela vely big
work for the me. Simultaneously, we won the work
for El Ingenio residen al area, first stage and then,
wewereawardedthesecondandthirdstages.
Which was the relevance of the Calima III access
route and El Ingenio residen al area works within
thecompany?
It is clear to me that these two works where the
star ng point where the company began to grow
and enabled us to become one of the strongest
companiesinValledel Cauca.
Do you remember any anecdote from those early
stages?
One of the anecdotes I remember the most was a
project we were carrying out in Santa Rita in Cali,
where we were contracted to perform excava ons
for a building. However, while we were carrying out
thisworkwefoundastoneofaconsiderablesizeand
when placing the explosives to destroy it, some
pieces flew to the roofs of houses in close proximity.
Thank God there were no hurt people. On the next
day, with a squad of 20 people we went to the work
site to fix the damages we caused to neighboring
houses.
Which employees do you remember as leaving a
markinConalvíasoverthese35years?
IrememberJesusMariaRendonwell.Hestartedasa
laborer in the first works of water and sewage. He
worked his way up in different posi ons in the
company and nowadays, he is an operator of
compactor in the Ruta del Sol project. I also
remember Jorge Mario Roman, who entered the
company as a Resident Engineer in Cali and worked
in every engineering posi on un l becoming Vice-
president of the Cali Regional branch. He le the
companyandsetuphisownbusiness.
How do you feel as a person a er 35 years of
witnessingthegrowthofthecompany?
I feel the sa sfac on in Cali when I pass by the
bridges, the streets, the neighborhoods and feel so
proudofseeingworksthathavecometrueandserve
thecity.
Cali recently evolved with the Avenida Colombia
tunnel and boulevard constructed by Conalvías,
which contributed to an important transforma on
ofthecity.
Likewise, whenever I travel to Perú, I feel deeply
sa sfied for the work we have developed. We have
representedthenameofourcompanywell.
Something that characterizes Conalvías is that we
work with the best quality in each work we are
awarded and we finish each of them, no ma er
what.Wehaveneverle asingleworkabandoned.
Another sa sfac on has been the job crea on and
seeing how our members progress at their family
andprofessionallevels.
What doyouthinkaboutthegenera onaltakeover
intermsofthemanagementofConalvías?
With the second genera on Andrés Jaramillo
entered the company. He projected the company at
na onal and interna onal levels. Nowadays we are
posi oned in Colombia, Perú, Panamá and the
United States. Currently, we are welcoming the third
genera on with Camilo Jaramillo and Juan David
Jaramillo. We trust they con nue to reap the
rewards, create jobs and keep up the same
commitment and responsibility that has
dis nguishedus.
When Edgar Jaramillo founded Conalvías S.A. together with César Jaramillo, they were far
from suspec ng the growth the company would experience in the future. It was year
1980, when in their capacity of engineers of a renowned company in the sector, they
decided to take the first step to set up their own company, with the convic on that they
were building a be er country. Fortunately for the Colombian engineering sector, this
ini a ve became one of the largest civil engineering construc on companies in Colombia,
simultaneously opera ng in other three countries: United States, Panamá and Perú.
Edgar Jaramillo, Country Manager Perú
With the sa sfac on for the accomplished
duty, but with the energy to keep contribu ng
to the strategy of its Organiza on, engineer
Edgar Jaramillo shares some of his stories, the
same that made possible the construc on and
sustaining of what nowadays is what makes all
Colombians feel proud: Conalvías:

Overseas
Regarding markets overseas, he stated that Perú is
currently undergoing a recessive cycle in public
contrac ng and, therefore, the organiza on is
looking for opportuni es through two private
ini a ves that have been already submi ed to the
government of this country, as well as a public tender
intheformofconcession.
In spite of the downturn in infrastructure
construc on that is taking place in Panamá, Andrés
Jaramillo stated that the company will have great
opportuni es. “Unlike the markets in Colombia and
Perú, infrastructure works in Panamá are funded by
the government. During the previous government,
Conalvías made the most of the high dynamics back
then. These ac vi es have decreased significantly in
the current government. We know, however, that
therewillbenewworks”,hestated.
With regard to the United States market, he said that
the contrac ng levels in the said country in the next
three years will be much higher compared to the
current ones. For example, the company has so far
entered into contracts amoun ng to approximately
75 million US dollars and is now par cipa ng in
tenders amoun ng to around 500 million US dollars,
showingthatthemarketiscrea ngopportuni es.
The human factor, an advantage
Headded that this is a business in which the company
faces new challenges on a daily basis. The staff
should,therefore,beabletoadapttothatnewreality
and be strong enough to overcome unforeseen
circumstances.
Likewise -he went on to say - concerning procedures,
cost control methodologies and project progress
control, we have very high levels in rela on to the
interna onalse ng.
He remembers that there are other construc on
companies that have made a decision to hire senior
officers of the company because they think the
officers will take part of the knowledge of how this
business works, “but this is such a dynamic company,
that when an officer is hired by another company for
those purposes, a er six months that person is going
to be absolutely "out of sync" with who we are. The
person that leaves Conalvías only to return six
months later, will return to a totally different
company and that is why we are permanently
reinven ngourselves”,hestated.
“The members that currently work for Conalvías
stand out for their honesty, suitability, dependability,
work capacity and high sense of belonging. That is
why we are at the forefront of the construc on
companies in Colombia", Andrés Jaramillo
concluded.
LEADERSHIP AND STRATEGIC VISION
ork”.So itwas describedbythe chairman
Wof the Conalvías Business Group as the
main strategy used by the organiza on
to consolidate as one of the top civil engineering
construc on companies in Colombia, opera ng
simultaneouslyinthreeothercountries.
And it is no wonder. Many works have been executed
during these 35 years of con nuous services. More
than three thousand linear meters in bridges, as well
as the experience in roads, airports, ports, thermal
powersta onsanddamsendorsethis.
According to Andrés Jaramillo, one of the
determining factors in the growth of the company
has been the con nuous monitoring of the target
market and the capacity to adapt fast to the
circumstances of the environment. “The company
firstfocusedonopera nginCali,butweexperienced
amarketcontrac oninthiscitythatforcedustolook
for newopportuni es in Medellín and Bogotá. When
we learned to manage several works simultaneously,
we faced a contrac on of our market in Colombia.
Therefore, we expanded to Panamá, Perú and the
United States, thus finding opportuni es that are
currently one of our compe ve advantages", he
said.Conalvías' chairman thinks that one of the main
challenges that the organiza on will face will be
compe on with foreign companies. He believes,
however,thatConalvíashasadeepknowledgeofthe
market in this country, which is an advantage over
otherinterna onalorganiza ons.
“The construc on marketinColombia isestablished.
This means that the companies that are currently
here will have to compete against low margins and
the opera ng efficiency will be, therefore, a
determiningfactorforlocalcompanies”,hestated.
“4G´s opened the possibility for other companies to
enter with great capital and machinery. We will need
to overcome that adversity with the efficiency,
quality and responsibility that characterize the
Colombian engineering industry, failing which, we
willbeboundtobecomesub-contractors”,headded.
But the greatest challenge will be, undoubtedly, to
capitalize the Organiza on and for that reason, he
stated that the organiza on is now looking for
financial partners to provide work resources and so
execute works in concession, without losing control
overprocesses.
“We need to make the right moves in the upcoming
two years so as to ensure our par cipa on in other
projects as big as those we work on nowadays. We
will need to strengthen the financial area and that is
themainchallenge”,hesaid.
Regarding the target market the organiza on aims
at, the chairman stated that the company will
con nue to focus on public works within its por olio
as well as private ini a ves. Thanks to this strategy,
the Organiza on will be able to undertake works
during the years that the government creates
resources for infrastructure, while maintaining its
opera ng capacity in the recession cycles due to the
GuaranteeLawandchangesofgovernment.
“Conalvías has fixed costs that no longer allow us to
be compe ve in works of small scale. Therefore, we
are not going to work with that market. We will
rather focus our energy on public tenders without
discardingprivateini a ves"hesaid.
“Our strategy has been to work”
Andrés Jaramillo Lopez, CEO of the Conalvías Business Group
A er comple ng 35 years of
con nuous work in the civil
engineering construc on market,
the CEO of the Conalvías Business
Group, Andrés Jaramillo, took a
very posi ve stock of the
strategies that led the
organiza on to be placed among
the top construc on companies in
the country, the difficul es and
opportuni es that the group is
likely to face in the upcoming
years and those to be
implemented in the future.
6 AGOSTO 2015

even years later, halfway toward his degree as
San Industrial Engineer at De Los Andes
University, he began half- me work and
performed du es of work and equipment
supervision for the Calle 26 project. Subsequently,
he worked in the Budget Department where he
prepared bids, one of them for the Miel II
Hydroelectric Power Sta on. A few years later,
during a holiday break, he traveled to the United
States where the company owned a ready-mix
concrete produc on business back at that me and
in which he was in-charge of the shipping to clients
onadailybasis.
In2011,hebeganworkingfull meforInfracon,one
of the companies of Conalvías group, which at the
me projected the factoring line as a new business
line, so as to provide financial services to the
suppliersofthebusinessgroup.
Camilo says that was quite a successful decision. “It
picked-up strength and three months later, we
decided to create a company that was not a line of
Infracon, but a whole new company intended for
that specific business, financial services. So Fincon
wasborn”.
From that moment, he aimed at developing this
business, which he managed for two years un l
December2012.
“We made a choice for me to work directly with the
infrastructure business and so, we looked for a
manager for Fincon. For this posi on Jhonier Villa
was promoted. He is a person that was developing
his career in Conalvías and who con nues to
manage the said company to the present me. I am
the delegate of the Board of Directors to co-manage
Finconwithhim,sotospeak”,hesays.
Then during a period of transi on, he worked in the
Senior Management Department of Strategic
Planning of Conalvías Investments. Three months
later, the former manager of Infracon resigned and
hetookofficeinMarch2013.
Recently, the Financial Vice-presidency was
created and he was promoted to the posi on,
which seeks to ar culate all the financial
departmentsoftheorganiza on.
“I mean, I con nue to be a delegate of the Board of
Directors to co-manage Fincon, I con nue to have
the responsibility of leading and structuring the
concession businesses but I have also taken on the
responsibilityofleadingthefinancialmanagement
ac vi es of all the companies that make up the
businessgroup”,saystheengineer.
Within his achievements in Infracon, he believes
that the skill to create efficiency in concession
contracts has grown based on building a good
rela onship with the client. Moreover, a great
effort has been made to analyze business models
that enable to forecast future returns, thus
maximizingpreviously-madeinvestments.
“From the financial standpoint - investment
profitability, in this way we have become crea ve
and innova ve in seeking to enhance the
profitability of investments in our hands”, he
emphasized.
He also highlighted that the company has a
dis nc ve feature and it is found in project
structuring. According to Camilo, this is the only
organiza on in the infrastructure sector that
nowadays is technically, legally and financially able
to structure a fully in-house private ini a ve
project (PIP), without the need to ask for external
funding. Therefore -he specified- none of our
compe tors has the poten al that we have
developed in Infracon to structure this type of
projects.
Due to the above, they have been working on the
development of two private proposals for
Colombia for almost three years. These proposals
are expected to be awarded by the end of 2015.
One of these ini a ves corresponds to the third
Bogotá – Girardot lane, which would become the
largest private ini a ve concession contract
awardedun lnowinthehistoryofthecountry.
“The highway is currently a divided carriageway,
with two lanes each. Our proposal is to widen both
sides.Inshort,thecurrentdividedcarriagewaywill
remain the same but with three lanes each side,
suchasthehighwayfromCalitoPalmira”,hesaid.
The second ini a ve, for which the feasibility
study has been already submi ed, calls for the
construc on of a single carriageway spanning
along15KmandlinkingLaVirginiawiththePereira
- La Victoria corridor, granted by Conalvías, also
connec ng with the south-west of the country -
evenwithBuenaventura.
In this way, he assures that - from the financial
point of view - Infracon is sort of becoming the
jewel of the Business Group crown, as it operates
as a private capital fund in own posi on. That is,
this is a company with assets, with no debt and
long-term guaranteed returns as a result of the
concessionsthatareenteringitspor olio.Assuch,
to the mid-term, it is almost certain that Infracon's
market value would be even higher than Conalvías
Construc ons'.
When Camilo Jaramillo began work at Infracon, he
knew very li le about the concessions business.
Nowadays, he knows this is an exclusively-financial
business and that is his world, the world where he
performs the best and he feels passionate about,
added to the fact that he has the chance of doing it
in the organiza on that is in his DNA, as he himself
hassaid.
“Let us say that the knowledge I have now on
concession businesses is quite significant. I believe
during the last few years managing Infracon, my
work team and I have won the respect and
admira onoftheorganiza on”,heconcluded.
A NEW GENERATION, NEW APPROACHES
“Conalvías is in my DNA”, Camilo Jaramillo
Financial Vice-President of the Business Group
Since he was only 5, Camilo Jaramillo used to
go with his dad to the Agremezclas Plant in
Puerto Tejada and so, even being a boy, he
started to live the daily rou ne of the company
and the business development. When he was
12, during his holiday break, he collaborated
for the first me in Conalvías photocopying
documents at the Cali branch.
7AGOSTO 2015

n this way, he began by upda ng all ma ers
Irelated to the strategic management of the
company: the vision, mission and objec ves.
In this process, the crea on and/or restructuring
of the departments of Communica ons,
Insurance Management and HSE was defined.
Nowadays, this industrial engineer is confident
that a new stage in the company started with the
results of that administra ve re-engineering
process.
A er the period in which he was leading the
above process and for nearly five years, he was in
the posi on of Senior Manager of Administra ve
Services, formed by the Communica ons, HSE,
administra ve and human resources
departments. More recently, he managed Patria
and Agremezclas, which at the me were part of
the group but ceased to operate in October 2014
andnowbelongtothebusinesslineofConalvías.
He is the current Manager of Produc on of the
asphalt mix and stony material line, in the
produc on centers of Puerto Tejada (Valle del
Cauca)andMosquera(Cundinamarca).
“My main responsibilityis to ensure the provision
of materials required in the work sites of
Conalvías. I have to supply everything related to
asphalt mix and stony material, depending on the
needsineachproject”,hestates.
Likewise, he reiterates that the inclusion of
Agremezclas and Patria to the business lines of
the company and their vanishing as companies
was the result of a cost op miza on strategy,
which has had an effect on efficiency and a
decreased final value in the produc on of these
materials.
“In turn, it gives us me to look for a strategy to
findnewclientsthatmayneedtheproduct. Then
we proceed to quote the services we provide
through these Centers”, added the industrial
engineer.
Currently,theProduc onCentersmakeupforthe
demand of materials for two big projects of
Conalvías: Agua Dulce Port in Buenaventura and
EldoradoAirporttaxiwaysinBogotá.
While the needs of asphalt mix for Agua Dulce in
the produc on center located in Puerto Tejada
are in their final stage, this is no impediment to
con nue opera ons in the plant, since recently a
new contract with the firm Cass Constructores
wasagreedtoprovidethematerialtosomeofthe
roadprojectsthataredevelopedintheregion.

PERMANENT SUPPORT OF OUR PEOPLE TO CONALVÍAS

He completed his studies in the SENA with a
Technical Degree in Assembly of Diesel Engines
and subsequently, with a Technological Degree in
Civil Works, which enabled him to enter Jaramillo
Ingenieros: the company that was emerging in
the 80's, led by engineers Edgar and César
Jaramillo.
Andso,heworkedforfi eenyearsasEngineering
Assistant together with engineers César and
Edgar Jaramillo, from which he learned to be
brave, to develop a sense of responsibility and to
be strong to overcome any obstacle, no ma er
howhard.
Gustavo re red from the company for a period of
seven months to work in an audit to oversee the
construc on ac vi es of Conalvías. “It was not
easy for me to audit the company with which “I
was born”. Fortunately, this company has stood
outforitsqualityineachwork”,hestates.
He returned and became part of the Pereira - La
Victoria Dual Highway project, where he started
to live with his family. However, few months later,
Gustavo was offered by the then Technical
Manager of the Project and current Vice-
President of the branch in the United States,
engineer Nyree Quintero, a proposal that he
could not refuse: to assemble and oversee the
produc on of plants for the Ranchería River
Reservoir Project, which enabled him to move
and live in the warm city of Guajira for three
years.
“Actually, I have learned a lot, lots and lots. I
have experience in earthmoving, concrete
prepara on, prepara on of reports… and I feel
they have recognized these achievements. For
the ar st, a er the payment comes the
applauses and I feel my work has been
recognized”,hesays.
Thanks to the experience he has gained in the
assembly and disassembly of mobile plants, the
organiza on created a posi on that would be
dedicated exclusively to that ac vity. No one
be er than Gustavo Valencia to perform these
du es.
His current posi on is Plant Assembly
Coordinator for Conalvías Equipment
partnership and he reports to Eng. Mauricio, with
whomhehasanexcellentfriendship.
Unlike many men of his age, being 73, he has not
considered re ring as he believes he s ll has too
much to give to the company with which he feels
iden fied.
His income during these years of work has
enabled him to support his family, wife, children
andrela veswhomhehashelpedwheneverthey
have needed financial support, which is just
another evidence of his good heart. However, he
is aware that he is a very strict man, he loses his
temper easily and makes quick decisions. “I like
beingclearinwhatIsay.Ilikebeingdemandingto
showwhoIamandwhatIamcapableof”.
Gustavo is married and he is father to three
children: Carlos Holmes, Ana Lucía and Leonardo
César. The la er is the youngest one - 24 years
old - and currently studies Business
Administra on and works in LA 14 Colombian
chainofstoresinCali.
“We are not rich but we have lacked nothing. We
have never lacked bread on the table". Leonardo
remembers that since he was a young boy, he
went with his father to each of the work sites
where he worked to see up close the equipment
of the plants that Gustavo assembled and
supervised.
Gustavo Valencia,
Gustavo Valencia
remembers the first issue
of 'Conalvías up to date'
magazine, published in
year 2006, which headline
defined him as the 'Mix of
experience and
dedica on'. Nine years
later, this same
publica on restates that
he con nues to be that
man who sets the
standard in each work
front for his leadership,
stamina and orienta on
to results.
a protagonist of Conalvías' story
24 AGOSTO 2015

“I have a great debt to Conalvías for this 35 years”
The lessons he has learned in Conalvías are as wide
as the love he feels for the company, where he has
worked uninterruptedly for 35 years. And it is no
wonder. It was the beginning of 1980 when Jesús
María got a call from his friend Gustavo Adolfo
Valencia, who asked him to see his chances and
present himselfto the formerJaramilloIngenieros,
whichcarriedoutworksinthenorthofCali.
And so he began work as Assistant in the works in
the Chiminangos neigborhood, located in the fi h
district of the city of Cali. Thanks to the trust his
immediate bosses placed on him, he was shortly
assigned to the posi on of watchman, where he
was able to know the employees that were part of
the beginning of the current Conalvías Business
Group.
Within the works for the comprehensive system,
he had the opportunity to support construc on
work from another front: opera ng the vibro-
compactor. In this posi on, he has remained for
more than twenty years and he has been able to
take part of the big projects that Conalvías has
executed, such as Pereira La Victoria dual highway,
BuenaventuraandRutadelSolLegIII.
“Conalvías is a wonderful place to work; it is a
good and reliable company. I have given
everything to this company and I have grown fond
of it. Thanks to this job I was able to guarantee the
educa on of my children. I would like to thank my
bosses Edgar and César Jaramillo, I cannot thank
them enough or repay them for all they have done
for me. I feel loved as a son. And Mr. Andrés is like
asasecondfathertome”.
Jesús María Rendón, Vibro-compactor Operator
Jesús María remembers that unforge able
occasion ten years ago when the company,
as a token of recogni on for his trajectory,
gave him a house for him and his family,
which he enjoyed for many years with
María Edith Pavas, his wife and his two
children, Martha Liliana and Jonathan. He
s ll owns the property, but now his kids and
grandchildren,1and3yearsold,livethere.
For María Edith, there are no words to
express her thankfulness to the company
for these 35 years of stability. With some
nostalgia, she told us that her older
daughter was only 8 years old when her
father started working for Conalvías and,
nowadays they feel proud that she is the
manager of a Coopera ve of re red
workers of the Railroad. “She is the fruit of
the effort and of this opportunity that we
havehad”,shesays.
María Edith says that engineers Edgar and
César have been very close to his husband
and they recognize his hard work and the
contribu on he has made to the company.
She will always be thankful for the way they
looked a er the health of Jesús when he
suffered an accident at work and now with
his current disease, from which he is now
recovering.
“Every me I need to go to the company to
file the documenta on of his disability,
people send him messages and say they are
wai ngtoseehimagain”shesays.
One could dare to say
that Conalvías was
born by the hand of
Jesús María Rendón,
currently a vibro-
compactor operator
who, even though
being disabled, s ll
'vibrates' for the
company where he
has worked for more
than half his life.
25AGOSTO 2015

Flavio Andrés,
“29 years working in Conalvías make me
feel that I am part of this big company.
Leaving the company has never crossed
my mind”
The knowledge in driving and explosive handling that he gained while his
stay in the Na onal Army were the main cover le ers of Flavio Andrés
Zamora to become a member, in his capacity of driver of Móvil 2, of the
formerJaramilloIngenieros,whichwouldbecomeConalvíasS.A.lateron.
Nowadays, 29 years later, Flavio Andrés con nues to perform his du es
assigned with the same passion and commitment in the company where he
has worked for third part of his life and where he has been able to make his
dreams come true: to have a family, to educate his two children and
complete his technological degree as accoun ng and administra ve
assistantattheLibreUniversity.
Currently, he no longer transports water or construc on material on
inhospitable roads in the departments of Cundinamarca, Valle and Tolima,
which were the main challenges of the emerging Conalvías. Flavio has been
the driver of the Execu ve Management officers at Cali branch for eleven
years, a posi on that makes him feel proud not only because of the
responsibility it entails but because it ra fies to him that in his almost 30
years of work in Conalvías, he has earned the trust of his supervisors. “Do
goodanddowell”,hesays.
He also says that during these almost three decades, he has been through
some painful and glorious mes. He remembers that important me in him
and his family's lives when he received from the company a house as a token
of recogni on for his trajectory and valuable contribu on to Conalvías. “My
emo onwasindescribable”.
He also delights in having contributed to the construc on of what Conalvías
is nowadays, an organiza on he sees as his second family and of which he
feelsproudforitssocialfocus,theeffortsmadetoensurethewellbeingofits

“I want to thank Mr Andrés, his children Camilo and Valen na, engineers
EdgarandCésarandtheirfamilies,Lauraandherkids,forthetrusttheyhave
placed on me. More than trust, there is a special affec on. I believe having
been a reservist of the army and because of my values as a person, I have
handled the company's businesses with confiden ality and that has created
trust”,saysFlavio.
But maybe his main achievement was mee ng his wife and partner, Elvia
Giraldo, with whom he undertook the road to have a family, despite the fact
that because of his work they were able to see each other only every two
months. “I was saving money so that we could accomplish the goals we had
set for us. Thanks to her, we are the family we are now”, he says with
emo on.
WhileworkingforConalvías,hebecamefatherofhistwogreatesttreasures:
Lina, his older daughter who is now a business administrator from the Libre
University and is taking a major in Human Resources Management.
Jonathan, who is currently enrolled in the third semester of the program of
Marke ng and Interna onal Businesses at the Autónoma de Occidente
UniversityofCali.
Flavio, from his family's view:
Elvia. She says she feels happy for his husband's job and she truly believes
that the company will go forward; “If the company does well, Flavio and
our family do well too. Thank God and Conalvías we have what we have
now:ahouse,educa onformydaughterandsonandwellbeingforall”.
Lina. Conalvías has been of great impact and influence in their lives and
thanks to that, they are a family with good values. She states that thanks to

Jonathan. He says that as far back as he can remember, he has witnessed

Orlando Ocoró,
Orlando Ocoró knew that the call he received one morning from a friend to solve a
topography issue, ra fied the quality of a worker he was. What Ocoró (as he is called
in work sites) didn't know - was that that call would link him for more than 24 years
to a company that has helped him write his story.
Born in Dagua, Valle del Cauca, he is perhaps one
of the most renowned workers in Conalvías, not
only for his joyful way to relate to his co-workers,
but also because during these 24 years of work,
he has had the opportunity to par cipate in
different projects that the organiza on has
carried out in several places of the na onal
geography,aswellasinPanamá.
He remembers, as if it was yesterday, when
working as a topographer of aqueducts, sewage
and urbaniza ons in the city of Cali he had to
report to Mr. César and Edgar Jaramillo, with the

remembers when he used to take the charts to

Granada neighborhood, very close to the Calima
popular playhouse. Also, when he had to report

- for all stony materials, during the me he

José Éver Ortega,
“I would like to thank
the company for the
opportunity they have
given to me for so
many years. They are
not easily found
nowadays”
What at first was only an assistance to his brother
who used to operate the grinding plant in
Agremezclas, became a hiring that now
completes 25 years filled with sa sfac ons and
achievements.
He is José Éver Ortega Waltero, born in Popayan,
who par cipated in the assembly of the asphalt
mix produc on plant in Puerto Tejada and
currently operates the grinding machine with the
same responsibility he has shown for the last 25
yearsofhislife.
During his experience in Conalvías, it has been
evidenced that he is a man of great challenges.
Together with Gustavo Valencia, current
Coordinator of Plant Assembly, he par cipated in
thedeploymentofthePuertoTejadaplant,which
back at that me was managed by our current
CEO, Mr. Andrés Jaramillo. He also par cipated in
his capacity of Assistant to the Grinding Plant
Operator in the 'La Unión Diversion' work (Valle
del Cauca)', where he supervised a team. He
worked there for a year and was subsequently
transferred to Buenaventura as an operator of
the Grinding Plant for access works to the said
city, airport and 'La Bívora' and 'La Delfina'
bridges.
He states that he was so confident on his
performance and skills that, in year 2002 he was
trained to operate a Vibro Compactor at Cali
works, under the supervision of engineer Oscar
Revelo. Since late 2002 un l 2003, he was
opera ng the grinding and asphalt plants that
Conalvías had in Citronela, jurisdic on of
Buenaventura, where gravel was produced for
thePremezcladoscompany.
A er returning from Agremezclas, José Éver had
to re re for one year due to the closing of traffic
for heavy-duty vehicles along the bridge over the
Cauca river, which forced the plant to stop its
opera ons. However, few months later he was
hired by Conalvías to operate the grinding plant
in Soacha, which supplied material for the work
sitesalongNQShighwayandPatriaclients.
In year 2005 he returned to the Puerto Tejada
plant to produce the materialfor the works of the
mass transporta on system of Cali - "MIO",
making him put down roots in this municipality,
where he currently lives with his son, Camilo
José,whois18yearsold.
José Ever wishes to thank for all the support,
trust,knowledgeandexperiencehehasgainedin
Conalvías. Nowadays, he works under an
unlimited term employment contract and
cherishes all the benefits and stability that the
company offers, as thanks to that, he has been
abletoprovideforhissonandpayhishighschool.
Camilo states that thanks to his dad's job, their
quality of life at financial and personal levels has
improved. He wants to study modern languages
and for that reason, he and his dad have been
thinking about the possibility of applying to the
University of Cauca, University of Valle or the
AutónomaUniversity.

Marco Aurelio Guaca,
“Staying together as a family in spite of temporary absences
in 24 years of work. A true example of the saying "where
there is a will there is a way".
Speaking of Conalvías history is talking about
Marco Aurelio Guaca, operator of heavy duty
machinery, who has been working for Conalvías
for 25 years opera ng different pieces of
equipment.
Born in the municipality of Bolívar - Cauca, Marco
Aurelio - or simply Guaca, as he is known in all the
places where he has worked - started off his
working life opera ng machinery for great
companies such as Cerrejón and the Caño Limón
Coveñaspipeline.
Thanks to his extensive experience, he was hired
byengineerCésarJaramillohimselftooperate'La
Pajarita' in the projects that would give birth to
whatConalvíasisnowadays.
By opera ng that machine, he showed he was
des nedforgreatthingsandsowasthecompany
that makes him feel proud. So is evidenced by the
tens of thousands of projects he has par cipated
in, such as those in Cali, Tuluá, Ansermanuevo,
Mesa de Yeguas, Argelia, Buenaventura,
Medellín, Bogotá, Zipaquirá, Armenia, Cartago
andSoatá(Boyacá),tonameafew.
Conalvías has a very important place in the life of
this 63 year old man, because while working for
this organiza on he has traveled to many
municipali es and has accumulated countless
experiences that make of him an example to
follow by many of his colleagues, He has also had
the possibility to form a family, which is his
reasontobeabe erman.
“The greatest teaching that I can pass to an
operator who is just tar ng his cycle is that we
have to look a er the equipment we work with,
treat them carefully because these enable us to
completeourtasks”,hesaid.
Currently, Marco Aurelio is in sick leave, but he
has had the support of his different bosses, like
engineers Luis Suárez, Oscar Medina and Nelson
Cortés, who respect him for his work skills,
leadershipandcommitment.

Even though Marco has not been able to
spend me at home due to his work, he is
an excellent father. For her, his husband is
a 'hero'. She even states that it looks as
though he was just hired by the company
for his energy and his sense of belonging.
In her memory she s ll remembers the
names of his work colleagues, engineers,
administra ve personnel, secretaries... in
short, of everyone in the company who
has had anything to do with her family
during the 24 years his husband has
workedforConalvías.
Catherine Guaca
24 years old, feels thrilled whenever she
hears anything about Conalvías. She
remembers that when she was just a girl,
her father took her to some of the work
sites and put a safety helmet on her head.
On that day, she decided to study
industrialengineeringandsoshedid-with
a lot of effort. Nowadays, she proudly
works as a professional managing cost-
related ma ers in another construc on
company. She knows, however, that
behind those numbers, there are men like
her father who work in risky jobs, which
demand a lot of physical effort and a lot of
training. For her, what ma ers the most is

“The story of Conalvías has been wri en with my hand”,
Dedicated, goal-oriented and commi ed are but a few of
the quali es that characterize Carlos Alberto Peñaloza,
Work Inspector at our Cali regional branch, who has now
completed 24 years of services for Conalvías.
Peña, as his friends and colleagues call him,
remembers his entry to Conalvías through a
friend who contacted him in his howetown
Armenia and proposed him to move to Cali to
workinacompanythatwasgaininggroundinthis
region and in which a number of different
engineers from his town were already working.
So he packed up three changes of clothes and
headed to the capital cityof ValledelCauca, a city
healreadyfeelshebelongsto.
“By then, the company had been present and
workingfortenyears.Theyweredemandingwith
work, as they have always been. You could hear
orders being given through radio transmi ers all
daylong”,heremembers.
In these 24 years of work, Carlos has witnessed
the growth of the company, where he has spent
half of his life. He believes the vision of CEO
Andrés Jaramillo to expand the company into the
market of Bogotá was a right decision. Some of
his colleagues, such as Victor Cardenas and César
Ramírez,movedtothiscity.
He believes he has gained countless amount of
knowledge in Conalvías. He has been involved in
almost every project that the company has
undertaken in the Colombian south-west region,
from restructuring family housing, routes of the
mass transporta on system and major works. In
2002, he par cipated in the construc on of the
NQS highway in Bogotá and for that reason, he
had to move and leave his family and, in
par cular,hisyoungchildren.
In this project he became acquainted with digital
ma ers, as back then the only computer in the
work site was handled by the person in-charge of
administra ve du es. “We used to do everything
by hand: work minutes, forms for the payment of
masterbuilders…”,hesays.
He feels sa sfied for the accomplished duty.
However, he misses the good old friends that no
longer work for the company, who would change
the atmosphere and would bring a sense of
belonging to the workplace. He remembers they
weregoodsavers.
“I have brought my strength and the company
has,inturn,rewardedmeinsomanybenefitsand
ways. Conalvías pays on me, it has always been
like that, is one of the characteris cs of the
company. You can even take up on obliga ons

Carlos Alberto Peñaloza
Margarita Fernández
his wife, works as a teacher for the SENA
and says that Carlos Alberto feels
confident because he works for a good
company. Such confidence makes the
home vibes good and promotes the
family's emo onal stability. If the
company is responsible for its workers,
employees work with enthusiasm. He is
fond of the company and that is because
everything is posi ve. He sees Conalvías
as his family. He says that being away
from his family when he moved to Bogotá
was a hard me for all of them, but
working in the SENA made him feel
equilibratedagain.
Carlos Andrés
his older son, has fond memories of the
mes when his dad used to take him to
some work sites where he was working
and believes this influenced him to
choose his career: Architecture. He says
his father has learned and developed his
sense of responsibility and he believes
this is a value that all people should have.
He says that Conalvías is a very good
company with na onal and interna onal
presence.

Diego Fernando Alzate
Diego Fernando is a living example of the saying: "where there's a will, there's a way". He
started working 22 years ago as a messenger for the former Jaramillo Ingenieros, running
errands and carrying out other ac vi es even when offices were located in the Granada
neighborhood, north of the city of Cali. Today, two decades later, he is a fundamental piece in
the accoun ng and financial strategy of Conalvías Business Group.
However, this growth has not been fortuitous.
During these 22 years of uninterrupted work, he
has ra fied the trust his supervisors have placed
on him: In the first few years he achieved to

an immediate goal, he plans to complete his
studies in Economics, which he had suspended in

support of the company, which paid a high
percentageoftheenrollmentfee.
“I like my work du es, I feel happy in the

“Doormen at Cali offices have been the faces of Conalvías to all visitors for 18 years…
and we have stood out for our good customer service”
Warm, close, commi ed and dependable are but a few of the characteris cs that describe Carlos
Humberto Rodríguez, a Caleño passionate for cycling and electronics, who has been working for 18 years
as the person in-charge of security in the building and of the people working in the head offices of
ConalvíasinCali.
Carlitos - as employees call him - is perhaps one of the most visible members of the regional branch not
only because he is the first person that officers and suppliers see when arriving to the building located in
the Bolivariano neighborhood, but also for the quality of service he provides, his dependability when
carryingouthisdu esandhisaffability.
He proudly remembers the me when he began work as Janitor for Conalvías, back when the building
only had eight months built. Since then, he has witnessed the growth of the organiza on, its expansion
to Bogotá, Perú and Panamá; as well as the tough mes the company has gone through, such as when
onlynineworkerskepttheirjobsattheregionalbranch,includingthethreedoormen.
However, Carlos says, the vision of CEO Andrés Jaramillo has been decisive in the strategy of growth and
posi oninginthemarketofconstruc on,asoneofthebestcompaniesintheinfrastructuresectorofthe

However, what makes him feel proud the most is that, thanks to Conalvías, he has achieved to “raise” a
family and paid the school for his two kids: Walter and Valeria, as well as suppor ng his wife Miryam in
the business of automobile upholstery and one or another fix of appliances at their home, thanks to her
knowledgeofthisdiscipline.
“We have never had safety issues in the facili es, nor has the personnel, or the owners or work
colleagues been exposed to any risk. We have never seen criminal ac vity, therefore, we have not
needed to hire security services. We are respec ul to the personnel; use a polite and cordial language
in our rela onships with everyone and our performance assessment has always been high. Our
behavior has been unexcep onable, this is our reward towards the company for so many benefits we
have received from it. I would like to thank Conalvías because of the extra bonus we earn, this is a
privilege”,CarlosHumbertosays.
Carlos Humberto Rodríguez,
Miryam
is a hard-working woman and says that in
addi on to the work stability that
Conalvías has provided to her husband,
the company has supported her since year
1999 as she has provided her upholstery
services for the vehicles, machinery and
the other automo ve fleet of the
company, with the assistance of the whole
family.
Walter
his older son is now in high school and
wishes to study a technical program in
mechanics and follow a career in the
Na onal Police later on. He believes the
work his father does has been an
important contribu on for his sister's
educa on at the Santa Isabel de Hungría
school. Listening to him talking about
Conalvías, its works and countries where it
is present, is a faithful reflec on of what
their father has proudly shared with them,
the informa on we share at internal level
inthecompany.
Valeria
who is only 15, says with certainty that
“Conalvías is a good company, its works
are the best ones”. Despite being in 9th

defined her vision to study Criminology
and knows that with the support or her
