Sacyr bolsters financial structure with refinancing and upsizing of syndicated loan to €600 Million
• The P3 company has secured the support of 25 financial institutions, enabling improved pricing and extended maturity for its corporate debt.
• Sacyr has incorporated sustainability and occupational safety commitments throughout the financing term.

Sacyr has successfully completed the refinancing of its syndicated loan under highly favorable terms.
This refinancing has enabled an increase in the available facility from €470 million to €600 million, alongside improved pricing and a two-year extension of the maturity period to five years.
The refinancing was significantly oversubscribed, attracting commitments of nearly twice the final amount, which underscores the strong market confidence in Sacyr.
The transaction, supported by 25 financial institutions, was coordinated by Santander, BBVA, Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, and CaixaBank.
This milestone significantly strengthens Sacyr's financial position, providing an even more robust foundation to advance towards the objectives outlined in its 2024-2028 Strategic Plan.
Sustainability and Safety Commitments
As part of this transaction, Sacyr has incorporated sustainability and safety commitments linked to predefined indicators for CO2 reduction and occupational accident rates. Adherence to or deviation from these targets will result in a marginal adjustment to the loan's pricing.
In 2025, global credit rating agency DBRS Ratings GmbH (Morningstar DBRS) assigned Sacyr an investment grade rating. This milestone represents a significant step in meeting the objectives established in the 24-27 Strategic Plan. Morningstar DBRS is one of four rating agencies recognized by the European Central Bank and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
The agency gave Sacyr a long-term corporate credit rating of BBB (low) and a short-term rating of R-2 (low), both with a "Stable" outlook.
En las obras de reconstrucción de la carretera LP-2 en La Palma (Islas Canarias), empleamos drones con termografía infrarroja para controlar la evolución térmica de la lava y garantizar la seguridad y viabilidad de los trabajos.
20/04/2026
La erupción del volcán Tajogaite en La Palma (Islas Canarias) en 2021 sepultó la carretera LP-2 cuando se encontraba en plena construcción. Actualmente estamos trabajando en su reconstrucción entre los kilómetros 40 y 43, enfrentándonos a las elevadas temperaturas que aún persisten en el campo de lava.
“La ejecución de esta nueva carretera sobre el campo de lava requiere una evaluación exhaustiva de las condiciones térmicas del terreno, ya que las coladas volcánicas pueden conservar temperaturas elevadas durante años”, explica Juan Antonio Romero, jefe de Topografía de Sacyr Ingeniería en La Palma.
Hemos resuelto este desafío con el uso de drones equipados con cámaras termográficas infrarrojas para la captura, análisis y modelado térmico del terreno afectado.
Esta tecnología permite identificar zonas con actividad térmica significativa, evaluar la viabilidad técnica del trazado propuesto y emitir recomendaciones orientadas a una ejecución segura para nuestros profesionales y colaboradores.
Asimismo, el análisis detallado facilita anticipar posibles afecciones al paquete de firme y a las mezclas bituminosas, ya que las variaciones térmicas pueden alterar su cohesión, rigidez y durabilidad, lo que condiciona las decisiones de diseño y ejecución del futuro pavimento.
Este proyecto está impulsado por Consejería de Obras Públicas del Gobierno de Canarias, que lo adjudicó a la UTE TAJUYA (Sacyr Ingeniería e Infraestructuras, Traysesa, Herquipalma y Los Volcanes) y que terminará en 2028.
Medición de la radiación térmica
La termografía infrarroja es una técnica de medición remota que permite detectar la radiación térmica emitida por los cuerpos en función de su temperatura superficial. En el ámbito geotécnico, esta herramienta se ha consolidado como un método eficaz para:
- Identificar zonas de actividad volcánica residual.
- Detectar fracturas activas y emisiones de gases.
- Analizar procesos de enfriamiento en coladas de lava.
- Evaluar la estabilidad térmica de terrenos para obras civiles.
“Mediante la adquisición y el procesamiento de imágenes infrarrojas, hemos generado mapas de calor georreferenciados y gráficos que reflejan la evolución térmica. El dron DJI MATRICE 350 RTK equipado con cámara puede detectar temperaturas entre un rango de 0 a 550 grados”, explica Juan Antonio Romero.
“Este trabajo combina tecnologías avanzadas en teledetección, fotogrametría térmica y análisis geoespacial. Gracias a ello, aumentamos la calidad de la carretera, y sobre todo, incrementamos la seguridad y salud en obra”, concluye.

Semi-Submersible Drones: Bringing Aquatic Environments to Light
We operate a semi-submersible Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) capable of collecting seabed data even in the most adverse conditions.
06/03/2026
Understanding the seabed is key before initiating any marine construction project. Bathymetry, or detailed seabed mapping, consistently faces numerous challenges, including the inherent conditions of the sea itself.
These challenges have arisen during the Central Pier Extension, Phase 2, project at the Port of Bilbao. There, we conducted verification tests to enable operations with easily transportable semi-submersible uncrewed vehicles.
"We have innovated by installing a multibeam echosounder and a side-scan sonar on these units. Using acoustic waves, we acquire seabed elevation data," explains Alfredo Pérez, Head of Marine Works at Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructure’s Technical Services Department. Pérez was recently honored with the Natural Innovators 2025 award, a Sacyr internal program for the promotion and advancement of innovation.
"Thanks to this drone, we reduce CO2 emissions and enhance operational capability in the most unfavorable weather conditions," he explains.
"Tests have been conducted both in the open sea and within the port basin. This allows for a more thorough evaluation of the characteristics of this semi-submersible unit and enables a comparison with conventional methods," Alfredo Pérez adds.
Acoustic probes are the only ones that propagate effectively in turbid aquatic environments. This high-frequency echosounder generates a conical beam, providing a data point cloud with far more comprehensive seabed information than traditional single-beam echosounders. This point cloud is then used for data processing, interpolation, and noise reduction, ultimately rendered as contour maps for detailed seabed interpretation.
Bathymetric surveys performed with this method are compared with those obtained by conventional means, and an analysis is conducted to determine if the tolerances between both datasets are within acceptable values.
The echosounder used in Bilbao offers a scan that allows for real-time visualization of the seabed. It provides insights into the terrain's hardness and roughness and performs side scans for object detection. Its measurements can be taken in environments up to four times more challenging than those supported by conventional methods.
"In the future, our goal is to expand the inner data cone to 160 degrees. We also plan to install an antenna on the echosounder to use an airborne bathymetric lidar, which would provide both terrestrial and marine data in a single operation. This way, we will have complete terrain profiles, overlapping both the marine and terrestrial sections," says Alfredo.
