Hydraulic worksUNIQUE, TECHNOLOGICALLY-ADVANCED PROJECTS

Hydraulic works make up one of the most important chapters in the history of ACCIONA Infrastructure. Since the middle of the twentieth century, the Company has continuously worked on a series of projects at once unique and highly advanced. They include the following: La Almendra (Salamanca),

with one of the highest arches in Europe. Guavio (Colombia), the

third largest of its kind in the world. Alqueva (Portugal), which

forms the largest reservoir in Europe. Santa Eugenia (A Coruña),

the first compacted concrete dam in Spain.

ACCIONA Infrastructure has also built wastewater and drinking water treatment plants, desalination facilities, canals, collector, pipes, tubes, drains, irrigation networks and tanks. In recent years, the Company has completed numerous projects in Spain, including a terrestrial outfall in A Coruña, a desalination plant in Torrevieja, the Arroyo Culebro WWTP and the reinforcement and waterproofing of the Canal de Isabel II. The recovery of the Castile Canal and the Mularroya Dam in the province of Zaragoza were also completed.

All of this has helped to ease Spain’s hydraulic needs although ACCIONA Infrastructure has taken its technology to many other countries.

Work began recently in Chile, on the El Paso hydropower station in the Andes near the border with Argentina, and on the Copiapó desalination facility in Atacama. Work is currently under way in Gabon on two mini-hydro plants in Ibundji and Malinga. And in Colombia, we won a contract in Bogota for the construction of the sewer and rainwater system of in the Bello Horizonte district.

ConstructionINNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF MODERN CONSTRUCTION

The quality of building construction is no longer limited to the mandatory resistance and stability, fire protection or health and environmental requirements. Today, this concept extends to all of the aspects related to the wellbeing of the people who use or inhabit the buildings including comfort, noise protection, energy efficiency, digital connectivity, thermal insulation or accessibility for people with impaired mobility.

The architects and engineers who design them place a great deal of emphasis on creative and functional

values, thereby converting their work into elements of social and personal prestige. This poses very important challenges for builders, who are often faced with highly complex structures and plans that pose daunting challenges. ACCIONA Infrastructure is backed by years of experience in the construction of corporate offices, hotels, communications towers, museums, conference halls, sporting facilities, transportation terminals and stations, medical buildings and hospitals, trade fair centers, schools and universities.

DOMÉNIKOS THEOTOKÓPOULOS (Candia, Crete; 1541 - Toledo, Spain; 1614) El Greco, the painter who brought together the Greek painting tradition, Venetian color, and Roman design, enjoyed a fantastic and ever-changing career as an artist in Crete, Roma and Toledo; in this latter city he spent more than half of his life. In Spain, the so-called “Greek of Toledo” took his place as the country’s most singular artist during the reign of Philip II and Philip III. He amazed spectators with his complex compositions, his bright colors, his interplay of light and dark, transparency and reflections, his naturalistic skill when representing fabrics or cloudscapes, his boundless

imagination when it came to portraying the supernatural, or his ability to breathe life into pictorial fictions. Spain had never seen anything quite like El Greco’s work, and his complex, intellectualized and overwhelming art caused amazement and admiration but also uneasiness and rejection, above all because he eschewed convention and deliberately flaunted his courage and difference. El Greco used his brushes to create a new world of religious imagery and a revolutionary way of treating and displaying both divine and earthly beings, with such tremendous power that, even today, we are quick to recognize the works of the “Greek of Toledo”.
