Sacyr's Blog

We have received a road safety award for our project Sacyr InRoad, which aims to make a continuous assessment of the state of roads.

For half a millennium, the Roman Colosseum was the scene of fierce gladiatorial combat, chariot races, parades of exotic animals and even public executions. We analyse the construction of the world's largest amphitheatre, which has also been a source of inspiration for emblematic films such as Gladiator.

We have developed Sacyr Smart Ways, a tool that allows to optimize road conservation work and times. Smart Ways can reduce costs, improve our efficiency and offer active risk prevention.

Traditional methods for detecting odours in wastewater treatment plants are not only slow and costly, but they also fail to quickly identify the root of the problem. A team of Spanish researchers has come up with a solution: an electronic nose attached to a drone that identifies bad smells in real time.

In addition to monitoring natural disasters, high-altitude balloons could also prove useful for surveillance missions. Their low cost and ability to operate for days at a time make them an attractive alternative over other aircraft. As such, the US Department of Defense intends to transform them into a key military weapon.
