Our commitment to urban mobility in Brazil involves building one of the most transited subway systems in the world. Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructures is currently in charge of the extension works of Line 2 of the Sao Paulo Metro, consisting of an 8.3-kilometer and eight stops expansion. This service directly connects to lines 3-Red, 11-Coral (CPTM), and 15-Silver.

This line, also known as the green line (Linha 2-Verde), goes from Vila Prudente to Dutra, and is 7.3 kilometers long. We built it as an assignment for the Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo (Sao Paulo Metro Company) within a 69-month time frame for 443 million euros.

Tunnels, air shafts, and stops

This contract includes building a 7.8-kilometer-long and 11.7-meter diameter two-way tunnel with an EPB tunnel boring machine. It also involves constructing 1.8-kilometer-long train sidings using the Austrian tunneling method. 

The framework of this project contemplates the construction of the Vila Formosa metro stop and bus terminal, as well as the Rapadura complex, with a railyard and train sheds, five air shafts with a 12-to-15-meter diameter, and a slab track superstructure.

 

 

The largest TBM in Latin America

Para el desarrollo de este proyecto se ha transportado la tuneladora conocida como Cora Coralina, la más grande de América Latina, que excavará 8,4km entre las estaciones de Vila Pruedente y Penha.

Sus impresionantes cifras la convierten en la tuneladora más grande de Latinoamérica: una rueda de corte de más de 11 metros de diámetro y 100 metros de extensión total. 500 toneladas de peso y una potencia de 144.000 kn.

 

First meters excavated

The first section to Vila Formosa included the installation of 436 concrete rings in the tunnel, with an average daily progress of 11.6 meters. Just a few months later, Cora Coralina is at the future Analia Franco station.

After the latest progress update, the TBM has dug a 1.6 km distance from Complejo Rapadura, and has excavated 141,000 m3 of dirt.

NAIS: a plan to strengthen Australian agriculture

We built the first stage of the North Adelaide Irrigation Scheme.

North Adelaide Irrigation Scheme

This infrastructure consists of a large-scale water transfer network formed by  29 km of underwater piping. It also has a new treatment plant that produces reclaimed water, a main network, pumping stations, underwater and tank storage, and, finally, a distribution network used for horticultural production.

More than 150 people were involved in the development of this infrastructure. NAIS also contributes to the development of up to 300 hectares of land dedicated to export agriculture.

With this infrastructure, we are strengthening the farming industry in the region. Thanks to NAIS, water can be used for horticulture, flower farming, fruit and walnut trees, table and wine grape growing, various valuable crops, poultry farming, and other intensive livestock and fish farming activities. 

With this project, we bring AUD 578 million into the economy each year and create 3,700 direct and direct jobs. 

“It’s a great example of the kind of infrastructure that creates jobs and stimulates economic growth that will benefit rural communities”.

University of Idaho Utility System P3

We will manage and improve the power and water utility system at the University of Idaho for a 50-year term.
The university is a cultural and economic driver for the State of Idaho.

The university is a cultural and economic driver for the State of Idaho. 

Sacyr Concesiones, in consortium with infrastructure manager Plenary, will undertake the operation, maintenance, and improvement of the power, water, and steam generation and distribution utility systems on the University of Idaho campus, which spans 640 hectares and is located in the city of Moscow.

With this contract, Sacyr achieves a new milestone in its 2015-2020 Strategic Plan: to secure its first P3 contract in the United States. 

Founded in 1889, the University of Idaho offers more than 150 degrees to its nearly 12,000 students. The 640-hectare Moscow campus includes 253 buildings and 32 hectares of green spaces. 

 

A small city

The service infrastructure of the university campus resembles that of a small city. It has, for example, a cold-water distribution system that extends 12.8 kilometers and an electrical distribution grid that runs 6 kilometers in length. The drinking water network totals 31.7 kilometers and is equipped with compressed air and steam distribution pipes.

One of the improvements we will introduce is the reduction of the university’s carbon footprint. To do so, we will advocate the use of renewable energy sources and boost system efficiency. We will also exercise sustainable use of the Grande Ronde and Wanapum aquifers and improve wastewater management. 

Take a virtual tour of the campus.

Belfast Grand Central Station: a new, modern, and sustainable transport hub

The new transport hub will have 26 bus stops and 8 train platforms that will improve connections with the rest of the region

Belfast Transport Hub

In a joint venture with Farrans, we have delivered the main construction works of the new Belfast Grand Central Station Interchange in Belfast (Northern Ireland) within 4 years.

The new transport hub replaces the current Europa bus center and Great Victoria Street train station in an eight-hectare site in Weavers Cross, a new neighborhood in the center of the city that will contribute to the regeneration of that area.

This facility is a multimodal transport hub with 26 bus stops, 8 train platforms, as well as bike lanes that will foster sustainable mobility in the city and enhance connectivity in the region. It also includes design and construction elements to promote efficient mobility, respect for the environment and energy conservation.

 

 

 

This project, awarded by Translink, the public transport services operator in Northern Ireland will bring numerous social and collaborative initiatives with the community to regenerate the area and it will create 500 jobs during construction.

For Duane McCreadie, Project director of Farrans-Sacyr JV on the project "Belfast Transport Hub will be crucial in shaping the future of the city and promoting sustainable transport. Social value will play a significant role during construction, and we will be engaging closely with community groups, charities and schools to create local employment, training, and apprenticeship opportunities to deliver a positive and lasting impact".

Belfast Grand Central Station started bus line services in September 2024, and continues to make progress towards the full opening of rail services.
