(Ferrovial) Projects

Clean, Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Construction.

Development of new knowledge and technologies in the area of linear transport infrastructure, focused on the search for a new more-sustainable model in three core areas: environmental, social and economi

Research into new concepts in structural composite materials for long span isostatic bridges located in port areas.

Increase in the number of EUREKA projects among European construction companies through the continuation of the EUREKABUILD Umbrella for three years.

Optimization of the general water treatment system in seawater desalination facilities using reverse osmosis, applying an approach from two converging perspectives: process and energy efficiency optimization and the attainment of a scalable technology on the industry level.

Study of the submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology in the joint elimination of nitrogen and xenobiotic chemicals in wastewater using partial nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation.

Study and comparative analysis of advanced technologies for the secondary treatment of urban waste water by sequential and biofilter tanks based on experiments with water from a WWTP.

Development of the engineering and technical-economic analysis of a full-scale model sludge gasification plant based on the findings and conclusions of the research conducted on this technology.

Study, definition and development of the engineering for the control strategies used in the process of removing organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus based on experiments with water from a sewage treatment plant which will produce data through respirometry testing of the nature of wastewater and ultimately, the kinetic and stoichiometric parameters for precise mathematical models that simulate these processes.

Partial nitrification and anaerobic oxidation of ammonium from the digestion processes of an urban wastewater treatment plant using anammox biomass. The aim of the project is the design before and after construction, commissioning and operation of an industrial pilot plant for the implementation of the PANAMMOX® process for biological nitrogen elimination of highly concentrated ammonium returns from urban WWTPs.

A study of alternatives to landfills for rejected products from urban solid and non-hazardous industrial waste treatment.

A project to recover waste from the iron, steel and casting industries, largely used in controlled landfills, as well aggregate for manufacturing concrete. This concrete will be used to manufacture breakwater blocks, although other uses are planned in the future.

Study of sealant in controlled deposits.

Strategic Research into safer and more sustainable highways.

Road safety system that integrates all computer and communications systems for traffic and monitoring. This system allows rapid and efficient information on all activities carried out on the road, providing real time knowledge of incidents and the actual amount of existing elements, as well as the state of preservation and quality of service.

Accordingly this establishes the mechanized warning procedures used to proactively inform the corresponding authority on the events occurring on the highways, coordinated with the capacity to access information through mobile devices from anywhere in the vicinity of the infrastructure.

Installation of a fleet of 18 low-consumption electrical vehicles to transport passengers between Heathrow airport terminals.
