We built the new Ontario Science Museum (Canada), a cutting-edge project in urban integration
The new museum will be a world-class facility that will also revitalize Ontario Place through the restoration of the city's iconic heritage landmarks.
The Ontario Science Partners (OSP) consortium —comprising the John Laing Group, Sacyr, and Amico— will build the new Ontario Science Museum, a project commissioned by Infrastructure Ontario (IO) under a DBFM (design, build, finance, and maintain) concession model.
The contract includes the design, construction, financing, and maintenance of the new museum, which will transform Ontario Place. It also includes the restoration of two of Ontario Place’s iconic heritage landmarks: the iconic Cinesphere and the Pods, structures elevated above Lake Ontario.
The architectural design is being led by the renowned Canadian firm Hariri Pontarini, in collaboration with the prestigious international firm Snohetta. The project will incorporate sustainability criteria such as LEED Silver certification, energy efficiency optimization, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Sacyr's Participation
A joint venture formed by Sacyr and Amico will carry out the construction of the project. Work is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026, creating local jobs and generating significant construction activity.
This project marks Sacyr’s first concession in Canada, a milestone aligned with the 2024–2027 Strategic Plan, which prioritizes the growth of the concession portfolio in English-speaking countries.
The contract is valued at 1.04 billion Canadian dollars (approx. 645 million euros).

Revitalization of Ontario Place
The new Ontario Science Museum is a key element in the transformation of Ontario Place, an iconic cultural space on the shores of Lake Ontario that will be renovated to become a modern hub for science and recreation. The project includes: the construction of the new museum, covering approximately 28,300 m²; the renovation of the Pods and the Cinesphere, totaling 6,600 m²; new pedestrian walkways that will connect the various elements of the complex; and the preservation and integration of historic heritage assets.
The Cinesphere will retain its function as a screening room, while the Pods will be modernized to be integrated into the new museum tour. Sacyr and Amico have previously collaborated on the Grandview Kids healthcare project in Ajax. The contract also includes 30 years of facility maintenance, which will be carried out by Johnson Controls.
The new museum will be a world-class facility designed to spark scientific curiosity among visitors of all ages. Its educational programming, with a strong STEM focus, will make it one of Canada’s leading centers for science outreach.

We built two emblematic venues for the Lima 2019 Pan American Games
The ‘Andrés Avelino Cáceres’ sports complex and the Callao sports center hosted some of the most exciting moments of the competition.

We were in charge of two very important projects for the hosting of the Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games.
The ‘Andrés Avelino Cáceres’ Sports Complex, on the Villa María del Triunfo site, involved the design and construction of 21 hectares of sports infrastructure. The venue included 2 hockey pitches, 2 rugby pitches, 2 softball pitches, 1 baseball pitch, 4 pelota vasca courts, 4 fronton courts, and one aquatic center for waterpolo. The total capacity for the venue was 7,502 spectators.
At the Callao-San Marcos site, we designed and built the Callao Sports Center which can hold 6,100 spectators, covering a total area of 17,600 square meters. The volleyball and taekwondo competitions were held here.

In addition to these two major projects, we also designed, remodeled and expanded the Miguel Grau Coliseum, which can hold 2,400 spectators. This venue hosted the Greco-Roman wrestling competitions, wrestling, boxing, and goalball, a sport created specifically for people with visual impairments.
Finally, we designed, remodeled, and expanded the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) football stadium, increasing its capacity up to 22,000 spectators for men's and women’s football events.

From drawings to smart data: the AI revolution at Sacyr Proyecta
The AI P&IDs Project was launched to address a recurring challenge at our engineering subsidiary: extracting technical information from complex piping and instrumentation diagrams.
15/07/2026
P&IDs are piping and instrumentation diagrams that schematically represent all the equipment, pipes, associated components, instrumentation and controls in an industrial plant. These are highly complex drawings due to the vast amount of information they contain.
To make them easier to read and work with, Sacyr Proyecta, together with the ICT team, has created the P&IDs AI Project. The aim is to significantly improve the productivity of the engineering teams by extracting the lists associated with these documents – a task that used to take our specialists a great deal of time due to the high complexity of the drawings.
“This tool represents a significant step forward in the digitalisation of engineering processes. It enables us to transform static drawings into sources of structured data that are reusable and can be linked to other corporate systems,” emphasises Raúl López Perdiguero, director of Sacyr Proyecta.
Combination of advanced techniques
The technological solution combines advanced computer vision, optical character recognition (OCR) and machine learning techniques to process P&IDs in digital format and generate a structured file containing the detected elements.
This file is then refined using post-processing algorithms that eliminate false detections and improve recognition accuracy.
The tool features an interactive graphical interface that allows the user to review, edit and validate the results generated by the AI before exporting them to the final lists.
“To deliver real value in engineering, it is not enough simply to recognise symbols and carry out a basic count. It is essential to link each symbol to the line on which it appears in order to obtain key information, such as its size, material, etc.,” explains Ana Silva Balaguera, a mechanical engineer at Sacyr Proyecta.
Transforming traditional processes
“The smart P&ID digitisation project is a strong example of how technological innovation can transform traditional processes and have a direct impact on productivity,” says López Perdiguero.
The project’s architecture has been designed from the outset with scalability in mind, with the aim of extending the solution to other Sacyr business units, such as Water, Engineering and Infrastructure.
