Grupo Therrestra participates in the XXXII edition of the Commercial Exhibition of the National Association of Hotels and Restaurants (ASONAHORES) at Blue Mall Punta Cana from September 19 to 21. Therrestra, as a leader in the construction sector in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean, sees this event as an opportunity for local and international companies to network within the tourism sector. "The idea is to look for business partners to value and strengthen activities that, as in the case of tourism, are helping the country's growth," explained Hugo Pérez Ovalles, president and founder of Therrestra.

The history of our country is full of illustrious names that painted their time in this land with glory. We study their life and work at school since they were children, and we turn them into references of how a good citizen should be. However, in this current history that continues to be written day by day, there is another class of men and women who, although they do not need to defend the Homeland with weapons in hand, as they did then, do represent an example of work, improvement, dignity and honesty.

Integration, alignment and teamwork were the pillars that our CEO, Ing. Hugo Pérez, wanted to cultivate in the annual integration activity with Grupo Therrestra employees, trying to impact the performance and results of the staff through various experiential meetings full of energy and dynamism, nuanced by various dynamics. These dynamics facilitated rapport and harmony in our work team.

The Sports Union of the Espaillat Province (UDEPE) awarded the recognition of Best Company of 2017 to Grupo Therrestra. Julio Taveras, president of UDEPE, highlighted the great work that Therrestra and its president, Eng. Hugo Pérez, do in the construction sector and in their social work. "For us it is an honor that organizations like these appreciate the effort and work we put into our projects, as well as the contributions we make to the community," said Pérez.

As part of its social responsibility, Therrestra seeks to strengthen sports in the municipality of Moca, one of these being the establishment of the TH Athlete Award, this year awarded to the young Jean Carlos López Moscoso. Ing. Hugo Pérez, president of Therrestra, highlighted the high development that the athletes of the province are having thanks to the support they receive from the community and organizations. “I am proud that my efforts have been noticed and that I am recognized as the best athlete is unexpected. I want to thank Therrestra for the award and for believing me to be worthy of it,” said López.

Grupo Therrestra has collaborated in the renovation of the Mayor Manuel de Jesús Guerrero León police station, located in the Hoyo de Friusa community, built in 2014 by the National Security Plan executed by the Presidency of the Republic and with which it is intended to reduce criminal acts in that sector.

From the age of nine, Hugo Pérez Ovalles understood the meaning of decent and hard work. He started in a cabinet-making workshop, where he received one peso a week, and when Saturday came, the day he was paid, he felt like the happiest child in the world. From his childhood in his native Moca he fondly remembers the joy and camaraderie of the people in the neighborhood.

At the beginning of the conversation, one of the first words that comes out of the mouth of our interviewee is “excellent”. This is how he defines the professional moment in which he is currently. “When I graduated, I asked life as an engineer to let me build two little houses a year and have a little truck, a top and a compactor. Now we have a fleet of vehicles and we build two hotels per year. Life has multiplied by thousands my desire as a young man”.

Civil Engineering students from the PUCMM Santiago campus will have a 166 m2 space to carry out internships during their studies. The Therrestra Group gave the first punch to formally begin the construction work of the Materials Laboratory that will serve to study compaction, asphalt and concrete. And, in addition, they will have facilities for the storage of aggregates, dried and cured.

Ing. Hugo Pérez Ovales, president and founder of the construction company Grupo Therrestra, signed a framework collaboration agreement with the director of the Centro de Desarrollo Integral Educare, Olga Espaillat, where cooperation methods are presented to favor and stimulate the learning of the students.

The center, due to its reintegration system, is the number one prison model in the country, it has 680 inmates and approximately 180 employees who work in this place.
