The Ferrocarril Central de Uruguay connects Paso de los Toros, in the country's interior with the port of Montevideo, spanning 273 km. The new infrastructure will cut down travel times by 50% and will increase the capacity for cargo load.  It will have a positive impact on the growth of agricultural, forestry, and industrial production in Uruguay. The railway is primarily aimed for cargo load, but is also appropriate for passenger trains and includes a new signalling and rail monitoring system.

The Grupo Via Central (GVC) consortium, led by Sacyr, with the participation of Uruguayan firms Saceem and Berkes, and the French firm NGE, is responsible for financing, designing, build, operation and maintenance of the railroad for 15 years.

3,500 people were directly involved at the height of the project, with 90% of the workers being locally sourced. This development required the installation of 343 km of new track, as it features multiple sections with more than one track to facilitate the passage of trains. Additionally, 25 stations and passenger stops, 128 concrete bridges and 6 trenches, two of which make a nearly 4 km long rail path. 

Construction used the latest available technologies such as track welding, anti-noise and anti-vibration protection. Over 37,500 tons of tracks were installed, 567,000 concrete sleepers, 12.5 million m3 in earthworks were excavated, and 1 million tons of ballast used. 

Sacyr Concesiones started managing the Ruta 79 in March 2022, running from San Antonio to Santiago.

Sacyr will invest US$ 900 billion in the upcoming years with the goal of expanding and modernizing it. This project will benefit a 1.7 million people living in the surrounding areas and use this important route every year.

These investments will help improve several highway sections, expand roundabouts, build new branch roads to the ports, replace the Manuel Rodríguez bridge and develop new connections.

Sacyr Concesiones will manage this infrastructure for the next three decades.

The project, awarded by Northern Ireland's Department of Infrastructure, included the design and construction of the road, which has an extension of 25 kilometers.

This stretch is part of the Northwest Transport Corridor that connects the metropolitan area of Belfast and the Northwest of the country. For its execution, the consortium, formed by Sacyr and Wills Bros, built 22 structures, including four new links and three roundabouts.

The main quantities of the project give a clear idea of its enormous scale: 4 million cubic meters of earth movement, 500,000 tons in semi-flexible pavement construction, and 50 kilometers of drainage systems.

These improvements ensure the comfort, viability, and safety of the more than 15,000 users who use the road daily. In addition to a significant time saving, reducing the journey by more than 10 minutes. Since the start of the contract, more than 600 professionals have collaborated in the success of the project.

The Acorn consortium, comprising Sacyr, Kajima Partnerships and Aberdeen, will be responsible for the design, construction, financing and maintenance of the new Velindre Cancer Centre, a new leading cancer hospital that will meet the highest quality standards in terms of sustainability and innovation.
