History
1953 – The Institute for the Design of Hydraulic Structures (I.P.C.H.) is established, incorporating the majority of specialists from the former Study and Design Department of the General Directorate of the Danube–Black Sea Canal.
1959 – The institute is renamed the Institute for Hydraulic Planning and Construction (I.P.A.C.H.) and comes under the authority of the State Water Committee (C.S.A.). During this time, it expands its activities to include the development of hydrographic basin management plans. The design of hydraulic structures grows to encompass dams and reservoirs. A significant development during this period is the emergence of the concept of integrated hydrographic basin development—a concept widely adopted and routinely applied in the design of investment projects for hydraulic works.
1976 – The institute is renamed the Research and Design Institute for Water Management (I.C.P.G.A.) and operates under the authority of the National Water Council (C.N.A.).
1991 – The institute becomes a joint-stock company under the name AQUAPROIECT S.A. On this occasion, it broadens its design and study activities into the fields of water supply and sewerage infrastructure. It now covers key engineering disciplines including: topographic surveys, geotechnical investigations, hydrological studies, hydraulic modeling, environmental studies, river management and stabilization, dam and reservoir construction, flood protection, hydroelectric power, civil engineering, roads and bridges, irrigation, waste management, water supply, and sewerage—adapting to the increasingly diverse demand for services in both the Romanian and international markets.
