The «ponts-et-chaussées» engineers, members of one of the most powerful technical corps of the Spanish Administration, were at the same time products and agents of state-building in the nineteenth century Spain. Throughout the century, they represented themselves as defenders of public good. As striking as it may be, radical liberalism had many supporters among these state employees. The journal linked to the corps provided space for laissez-faire ideas and policy proposals. Moreover, when several corps engineers were appointed to influential government posts during the Sexenio democrático (1868-1874), some of them designed and put to practice laws and policies that reduced state intervention and tried to boost municipal and private initiative. This article explores the visions of state that competed and merged in the engineers’ discourse. In particular, it traces historical changes in these visions and links them to period political discourses as well as to transnational socio-professional discourses of engineers
