Infrastructure

Laying the foundation of sustainability

As proven by the walls of the Coliseum and the arches of Stonehenge, the structures we build support our lives—for sport, health, protection or transportation—and are perhaps the most lasting impression we leave on this earth. ACCIONA Infrastructures, the oldest division of the company, was founded in 1850 to ensure that what we are building today will promote sustainable living and positively impact the environment for future generations. 

ACCIONA builds bridges, highways, tunnels, railways and hospitals, among other public and private structures. Involved in every stage of our projects, ACCIONA strives to make sure our activities are executed with sustainable building principals as a top priority. We realize we are, quite literally, laying the foundation for future sustainable living.

In North America, ACCIONA is continuing the tradition of sustainable building. We are currently building the new Royal Jubilee Hospital Patient Care Centre in Victoria, British Columbia, which will be one of the largest LEED Gold-certified medical buildings in North America. Additionally, we have been contracted by Quebec’s Ministry of Transport to design, finance, build, operate and maintain the new Autoroute 30 (A30) toll road along Montreal’s south shore. The toll road will greatly alleviate congestion in local routes through the city of Montreal, which will improve the overall efficiency of the transportation system and reduce commuter travel time, thus avoiding excess CO2 emissions.   

The footprint of ACCIONA Infrastructures spans five continents and several countries.  From civil works, such as airports, bridges and railways, to the construction of hospitals, educational and cultural centers, and sporting facilities, ACCIONA Infrastructures leads the way in global sustainable development.

Ting Kau Bridge
Hong Kong, China
Client: Highways Department, Government of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, China

Ting Kau Bridge is the world’s first major twin main span cable-stayed bridge. The design of this bridge contains unique features such as single leg towers stabilized by transverse cables, just like the masts of a sailboat and full span stay cables between towers. The Ting Kau Bridge is not just a significant landmark—it also carries the heaviest traffic volume of the bridges supporting traffic to and from mainland China and the Hong Kong container port.

Central Cost Road Network - Autopista Vespucio Sur
Valparaiso, Chile
Client: Government of Chile

Construction on these 75 miles of roadway connecting the cities of Algarrobo and Cartagena, as well as a number of other coastal cities in central Chile, began in 2000.  The project included maintenance and improvement to road surfaces, improvement to existing bridge structures, as well as in-depth assessments of its sanitation and drainage systems. In addition, new security systems, lighting and signage were also installed.
