Our colleagues from Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructures are building an intermodal logistics terminal in La Llagosta (Barcelona) that will transform the region into a strategic node for international freight transport. The project is an example of commitment to the circular economy and sustainability.
One of the most outstanding initiatives is the reuse of materials from the work. In total, 16,000 m³ of asphalt pavement have been collected, of which more than 90% has been reused for the crowning of embankments. In addition, 100% of the ballast (15,000 m³) has been used as a base in the road pavement layer.
"These measures, in addition to promoting circularity and having a positive environmental impact, allow cost savings, reducing the purchase of materials and avoiding their management as waste," explains Arnau Jaumandreu Sellares, Head of Quality, Environment and Energy Project.
