The Ferrocarril Central de Uruguay connects Paso de los Toros, in the country's interior with the port of Montevideo, spanning 273 km. The new infrastructure will cut down travel times by 50% and will increase the capacity for cargo load.  It will have a positive impact on the growth of agricultural, forestry, and industrial production in Uruguay. The railway is primarily aimed for cargo load, but is also appropriate for passenger trains and includes a new signalling and rail monitoring system.

The Grupo Via Central (GVC) consortium, led by Sacyr, with the participation of Uruguayan firms Saceem and Berkes, and the French firm NGE, is responsible for financing, designing, build, operation and maintenance of the railroad for 15 years.

3,500 people were directly involved at the height of the project, with 90% of the workers being locally sourced. This development required the installation of 343 km of new track, as it features multiple sections with more than one track to facilitate the passage of trains. Additionally, 25 stations and passenger stops, 128 concrete bridges and 6 trenches, two of which make a nearly 4 km long rail path. 

Construction used the latest available technologies such as track welding, anti-noise and anti-vibration protection. Over 37,500 tons of tracks were installed, 567,000 concrete sleepers, 12.5 million m3 in earthworks were excavated, and 1 million tons of ballast used. 

We improve local and interstate connectivity in Louisiana with a new bridge over Calcasieu River at the Interstate 10, which will replace the current bridge, built in the 1950s.

This Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD) project comprises the design, construction, finance, operation, and maintenance of this 5.5-mile (9 km) infrastructure for a 50-year term.

Contract calls for a $2.1 billion expected investment (€ 1.9 billion).

We’ll develop this project as Calcasieu Bridge Partners (CBP), comprising Sacyr, Acciona and Plenary Americas.

This is a highly anticipated project for road users that will meet the highest standards.

This project is the largest to date in the history of the State of Louisiana, and one of the was one of the largest infrastructure contracts commissioned in North America in 2023.

This is our first transportation infrastructure P3 contract in the US, and a huge boost to the company’s growth strategy in the U.S.

The Acorn consortium, comprising Sacyr, Kajima Partnerships and Aberdeen, will be responsible for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of the new Velindre Cancer Centre, a new leading cancer hospital that will meet the highest quality standards in terms of sustainability and innovation. 

This new center, which will have a gross external area of 60,000 sqm, plus external areas in a landscape of 7.86 ha, is the result of the need to expand and improve the quality of care in the southeast of Wales, where it will serve 1.7 million people.  

Velindre Cancer Centre is a leading reference hospital in education, development, innovation and research into cancer, especially the less common types of cancer. 

Sustainable design 

The design of the new center will have a strong environmental and ecological character and will feature highly efficient energy systems. The infrastructure will respect the environment in which it is located, its landscape value and the protection and respect for the surrounding biodiversity as it is a protected area. 

To this end, several measures have been implemented to guarantee the preservation of existing species, such as the location and relocation of animals and plants for their conservation, and the development of research and action programs in accordance with the hibernation periods of protected species
