Belfast Grand Central Station: a new, modern, and sustainable transport hub

The new transport hub will have 26 bus stops and 8 train platforms that will improve connections with the rest of the region

Belfast Transport Hub

In a joint venture with Farrans, we are to develop the main construction works of the new Belfast Grand Central Station Interchange in Belfast (Northern Ireland) within 4 years.

The new transport hub will replace the current Europa bus center and Great Victoria Street train station in an eight-hectare site in Weavers Cross, a new neighborhood in the center of the city that will contribute to the regeneration of that area.

This facility will be a multimodal transport hub with 26 bus stops, 8 train platforms, as well as bike lanes that will foster sustainable mobility in the city and enhance connectivity in the region. It will also have design and construction elements to promote efficient mobility, respect for the environment and energy conservation.

 

 

 

This project, awarded by Translink, the public transport services operator in Northern Ireland will bring numerous social and collaborative initiatives with the community to regenerate the area and it will create 500 jobs during construction.

For Duane McCreadie, Project director of Farrans-Sacyr JV on the project "Belfast Transport Hub will be crucial in shaping the future of the city and promoting sustainable transport. Social value will play a significant role during construction, and we will be engaging closely with community groups, charities and schools to create local employment, training, and apprenticeship opportunities to deliver a positive and lasting impact".

Belfast Grand Central Station started bus line services in September 2024, and continues to make progress towards the full opening of rail services.

Lubbock and Diboll: Transforming road infrastructure in Texas

We're developing two projects that aim to improve local mobility and safety in the Lone Star State. These developments also contribute to the broader objective of enhancing the state’s transportation network, ultimately benefiting residents and businesses alike.

We are  improving the transportation network in Texas through two major projects: the FM 1585 project in Lubbock and the US 59 Diboll Relief Route. Both projects, undertaken in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), aim to enhance safety, mobility, and connectivity in their respective regions.

FM 1585 in Lubbock

FM 1585 project in Lubbock, part of the broader Loop 88 program, marks a pivotal development in the area’s infrastructure. This development involves transforming a two-lane rural road (FM 1585/130th Street) into a six-lane freeway complete with frontage roads, bridges, and ramps. This upgrade spans from Chicago Avenue to Avenue U and aims to support the region’s growing traffic demands while improving safety and reducing congestion.

 

The project encompasses two key phases: Phase 3A from Avenue U to Memphis Avenue and Phase 3B from Memphis to Chicago Avenue. The total cost for Phases 3A and 3B is estimated at $154.8 million. The project is the first of seven phases within Segment 3 of the Loop 88 corridor, extending from US 87 to US 62/82 in Wolfforth. 


 

US 59 Diboll Relief Route

In Diboll, Sacyr is undertaking the construction of a 13.2 km relief route for US 59. This project is designed to enhance safety and mobility along this critical corridor, with the overall aim of supporting the development of I-69 in Angelina County. 


 

The $142 million construction contract was awarded to Sacyr in April 2020, and the proposed improvements are designed to meet interstate standards for potential future designation as I-69.

This project addresses several critical needs:

  • Safety and Mobility: US 59 is a major freight corridor and part of the National Highway System, serving as a hurricane evacuation route and experiencing high traffic volumes and congestion.
  • Interstate Standards: Upgrading the route to meet current interstate standards will improve safety.
     

The project involves constructing new northbound and southbound main lanes for US 59, along with overpasses at FM 1818 and several local roadways.

This relief route will significantly improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the Diboll area, providing a safer and more efficient route for local and through traffic.

As part of a consortium with Farrans, we have designed, built and commissioned the section of the Edinburgh light rail or tram network that will link York Place and Newhaven. 

This new section has eight stops and continues further north the tram line that currently connects the airport to Haymarket station and Princes Street in the center of Edinburgh.  The budget for the project was €240 million and, once completed, an estimated 16 million people will use this tram each year.

Ulster University: a 21st Century campus 

With the construction of two new buildings, we have turned the Belfast campus into a more modern and versatile educational space.

Ulster University

Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructures has successfully completed the state-of-the-art Ulster University Belfast campus project. The project consisted on the development of two new blocks located in York Street, opposite the current campus building.

With more than 75,000 sq. m.building area, one is 4 storeys and the other is 11 storeys high the facilities include more than 300 learning spaces, 2 lecture theatres with 350 and 250 seats respectively, 18 elevators, a two-story library and private study sections which can accommodate up to 500 students, a biometric laboratory, nine catering outlets including a rooftop café.

We used BIM technology and digital processes in the design to guarantee an effective and collaborative approach: all the stages in the development of the design, construction and delivery were optimized and monitored on a large scale by all the members of this project.

Commitment to sustainability

This state-of-the-art building is a modern construction that combines Victorian inspiration from local architecture and modern, using long-lasting materials, resulting in a sustainable building which can accommodate more than 15,000 university students and staff.

One of the most singular spaces in campus is the rooftop garden, which even has trees which were included as part of Belfast City's urban reforestation plan and its commitment to sustainability.

Considerate Constructors Scheme Award

This project received the Considerate Constructors Scheme 2017 Award in the UK in its silver category because “the site demonstrated extraordinary compliance in improving image and construction, obtaining 5 points in the Code of Consideration Practice”.

The Pedemontana-Veneta Toll Road: a strategic asset in Italy

We are improving connections in the Veneto region with a planned investment of 2.6 billion euros

Italy  Pedemontana Veneta

The Pedemontana-Veneta toll road is one of the most important infrastructure projects in Italy. It is also one of the biggest projects in our portfolio there, with a planned investment of 2.6 billion euros. 
The company Superstrada Pedemontana Veneta is in charge of designing, building, financing, running, and maintaining the toll road for a period of 39 years following completion of construction. 
This project involved building 162 km of road. 94 km of the main road that will link 34 municipalities and the industrial area of Vicenza and Treviso. The remaining 68 km are for secondary access roads. This road will also include two tunnels - the Malo tunnel (6 km) and the S. Urbano tunnel (1.5 km) - and eight viaducts. 
The infrastructure guarantees the high demand for mobility in the most industrialized area of the Veneto region, with close to half a million companies and 4.9 million inhabitants.

Sustainable project

The highway’s environmental impact is minimal, given that 70% of the route runs through a trench or tunnel. It presents no visual disruption or noise, nor does it constitute a barrier since it is virtually invisible from preexisting roads, services, canals, and wildlife areas.

The project was designed and built using the latest innovations in safety, technology, and sustainability, including Sacyr’s Iohnic lighting system and sound-absorbing, antiaquaplaning, photocatalytic asphalt (which attracts contaminating particles and, in conjunction with light, oxidizes nitrates and carbonates).

In addition, the colors of the trench walls vary according to municipality, making it easier for drivers to orient themselves. Pedemontana has transparent noise barriers so as not to reduce the visibility or illumination of the platform.

Award-winning financing

The Pedemontana-Veneta toll road is part of the European TEN-T network. It is considered a nationally significant strategic asset on account of its location between the existing A4 and A27 toll roads, crossing the Veneto Region and passing through the provinces of Vicenza and Treviso. The construction of this toll road was financed by means of the largest bond issue in Europe for a greenfield project, to the tune of 1.571 billion euros. The issue has been awarded four international prizes.
