We have commissioned the Madrid-Irun railway line 30 days ahead of schedule. This project stands out for the wide range of especially innovative machinery and techniques used and developed for its construction, adding value to the project.

Will the mega-bridge first dreamed of by the Romans finally become a reality? That is the aim of the Italian government, which wants to link the Italian peninsula with the island of Sicily. One of the challenges of building this structure will be to make it strong enough to withstand high winds and earthquakes.

A joint venture led by Sacyr has built a singular infrastructure in the Hernani-Astigarraga rail section: an impressive 482-meter viaduct. 

The construction of the world's longest suspension bridges is particularly complex, as it requires the loads from the hundreds of cables and anchors that support them to be properly distributed. How are these gigantic structures built to withstand earthquakes, strong winds and ocean currents?

Rafael Pablo Guillen Carmona, Director of Engineering of Sacyr Construction, has developed the launching gantry RPGC-21 to solve this very same problem at the Pamplona-Cúcuta project in Colombia.
