Its development and implementation will optimize the processes of design, construction, operation, and maintenance, improve energy efficiency and air quality of hospital assets, as well as reduce the environmental footprint associated with the infrastructure both during construction and operation phases.

This project represents a new milestone in public-private collaboration, a cornerstone of Sacyr's business model, as it maximizes the value proposition to the client and goes beyond mere contractual requirements by bringing together the best internal and external talent.

It is co-financed by the local Operational Program of the Community of Madrid European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for the 2021-2027 period.

Aims to address the challenges posed by the recycling of lithium-ion batteries and provide solutions to the problems arising from the recovery and selective separation of critical metals they contain (lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese).
The main objective of the project is to facilitate their use in the manufacture of new batteries or to replace conventional raw materials in other industrial production sectors, as a more sustainable alternative.

Its purpose is to explore the generation of renewable electrical energy from the brine resulting from desalination, with the goal of improving the energy efficiency of the process.

It involves evaluating a new, more sustainable desalination process that combines reverse osmosis with reverse electrodialysis. Integrating this process with conventional technology improves energy efficiency by recovering electrical energy from the brine obtained prior to its discharge into the sea, thereby reducing CO2 emissions.

The ultimate goal is to develop a device with industrial robotic technology and precise positioning for, on one hand, proper lane signaling and, on the other hand, automated cone placement/removal, ensuring total safety during the operation. Additionally, this project transforms safety standards on our roads and helps to avoid the presence of vulnerable users, a major priority within Sacyr.

Project funded by the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI), a Public Business Entity under the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities.
 

The biggest environmental challenges we face today is the loss of biodiversity and natural habitats as a consequence of unsustainable growth. It is crucial to find transformation possibilities that allow progress and improvement of collective well-being, while simultaneously regenerating natural resources, increasing climate resilience, and restoring ecological systems.

The main objective of this project is to understand the impact of our works on the environment. Thanks to this platform, we will be able to optimize compensation measures based on the impacts caused, something that was previously done in a very manual way. All of this will enable us to achieve a net debt with nature in an automatic, scalable, and efficient manner.

This enables precise prediction of its energy needs for autonomous and optimized operation of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.

Among the main objectives of the project is to develop a solution capable of automatically executing recommendations in the HVAC control system. This requires a connection that allows sending commands from remote equipment to the controller.

The pilot has been developed on the suitable rooftops of the Moncloa Transport Hub in Madrid, managed by Sacyr, where 96 photovoltaic modules for self-consumption have been installed, with less than 10g of CO2 per kWh. Thanks to this technology, Sacyr is able to utilize the available suitable spaces of the Interchange with the latest technological advancements in green electricity generation, in order to evaluate their possible application in other infrastructures and make them self-sufficient.

Through this project, 11 monitoring units are implemented and deployed along the approximately 5,500 km of roads maintained by Sacyr Maintenance. Among them, more than 2,250 km belong to routes of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T Network).

Inroad Evolution is financed under the "Program to Support Sustainable and Digital Transport," related to safety in road operation and maintenance (NextGen Funds) by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility.

The main objective of the Center for Innovation for the Circular Economy (CIEC, in Spanish) is to create a reference ecosystem of companies in innovation and experimentation of solutions according to the principles of the circular economy.

This project positions Sacyr as a key partner of the Madrid City Council in the field of the circular economy. Furthermore, it strengthens our commitment to sustainability and innovation, attracts talent, and places Sacyr within the ecosystem of companies.

Sacyr designs and coordinates the digital manufacturing laboratory, Fablab. It is a laboratory that promotes creativity through digital manufacturing tools. Fablabs help entrepreneurs prototype their ideas. In this case, it incorporates the circular economy into its basic principles and allows entrepreneurs and their prototypes to connect with the CIEC ecosystem of companies and their involvement in the economic development of Madrid.
 

The use of fiber reinforced concrete has increased in the last 5 years thanks to its acceptance as a structural material in several of the regulations that govern structural concrete at national and international level. However, its vision as a material has been limited to typologies in which the material works mainly in compression or low tensile stresses, avoiding applications in which the tensile stresses are high (slabs of floors, for example).
The general objective of this project is to develop a new slab system using high performance fibre reinforced concrete (HRF) without traditional reinforcement, leading to an increase in sustainability from an economic, environmental and social point of view.

This underwater drone is intended for research, environmental impact studies, inspection, and maintenance in aquatic areas. The desaldron is equipped with a 1080p camera optimized for the underwater environment, side scan sonar, multiparameter probe, sampler, and GPS positioner.

The main advantages of this drone are speed, efficiency, and safety. The desaldron can perform inspection and surveillance tasks, sampling, water parameter mapping, environmental studies, bathymetry, and other marine surveys. In addition, it can perform underwater work, preventing people (divers) from descending manually to outfalls, immisaries, or the seabed.
 

Wastewater from agricultural irrigation has a high nutrient content that seeps into aquifers and can cause problems of contamination of water bodies.
At Sacyr, we have launched a project for the reuse of agricultural drainage water, the Deseacrop project (Desalinated seawater for alternative and sustainable soilless crop production). 

Thanks to the development of this European Life project, we have demonstrated that desalinated water is not only be better when mixed with groundwater, but also increases crop yields and crop quality. In addition, as a novelty, we have treated the irrigation drainage water (approximately 30% of the initial irrigation) by reverse osmosis desalination so that it can be reused for irrigation. In addition, drainage treatment at the desalination plant is carried out 100% with photovoltaic solar energy.

This initiative aims to respond to the challenge launched in Sacyr iChallenges 2020 to find solutions to anticipate the behavior of the terrain in our infrastructure projects.

The analysis of the materials and parameters that affect the behavior of the ground is a complex task; the difficult access to the areas of interest or the large extension of these areas makes it even more complicated to obtain quality information that allows us to anticipate geotechnical behavior.

The project seeks to understand which variables are key to ground movement, how millimetric changes can be detected using satellite technology, and combine both learnings into a set of maps and predictive models of the infrastructure area that allow us to anticipate and set up warnings. Early detection of a potential problem can allow us to make a better decision and anticipate the necessary actions or resources.

This project, which puts AI at the service of infrastructure control, offers advantages such as:

• Greater security and reduction of incidents through the improvement of early warning systems.
• Efficiency in operation and preventive maintenance
• Increased cost-effectiveness due to reduced on-site control instrumentation costs
• Improved information available on ground behavior in the design and construction stages.
