Among its founding members, TESELA counts with Professor Eduardo Sebastián Pardo, principal investigator of the research group “Study and conservation of construction materials in the Architectural Heritage” of Departamento de Mineralogía y Petrología of the University of Granada. This made it possible for TESELA to be born with the UGR spin-off seal, awarded by the University of Granada itself to those business initiatives arising from within the University that accredit excellent knowledge in a specific area: in our case, materials in general, and those related to historical heritage in particular.

A team at the forefront

This experience, together with the most avant-garde instrumental techniques, has enabled the group to successfully carry out numerous conservation and architectural restoration projects of various historical and monumental buildings, as well as diagnostic studies prior to the intervention project and consultancy work during the execution of the work and the behaviour and technical quality of the different materials.

The company is made up of technical staff with the highest academic qualifications and proven experience in the field of construction materials and intervention in historical heritage for its conservation and protection. It also has the best technology for carrying out studies and research, taking advantage of all the instruments available both at the University of Granada and in associated technology centres.
