David Serur

David Serur

With over 58 years of professional development, engineer David Serur engineering leads to the stomach. He understands that this is a science that remains because through teaching, students develop a particular interest in improving the area of his being and his surroundings, to constantly dream ideas into concrete realities. With always one foot on the social, David Serur argues that the mission of the engineer (his mission) is to materialize their thoughts and projects focused on reality and ideals of perfection, professional knowledge and concepts for developing talent.

"My professional work is rendered with a sense of high social commitment, have not only sought to transcend buildings, bridges, waterworks or large estate and tourism development. For me the essence of each work is on functionality, that works for the people who enjoy it and always be proud to have buildings that mark the development of our country."
