INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Economic growth, social advancement and action against the climate emergency depend largely on investment in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress. Today, about 1 billion people live more than 2 km from a roadway, 940 million live without electricity, and 663 million lack improved drinking water sources.
ACCIONA participates in the entire infrastructure construction value chain, from the identification of opportunity, design and execution, to the operation and maintenance of the constructed works, using the most advanced and innovative techniques.
Performance quality and safety are two of the criteria that maximize the company's value proposal in the development of large infrastructure projects and that differentiate it from other competitors in the construction field.
The AU$1.7 billion (€1.000.000 million) project is a tunnel under Brisbane's CBD, designed to carry up to 1,800 passengers per hour. The new subway will be served by 60 bi-articulated electric buses that can carry between 150 and 170 passengers.
The initiative will have direct benefits for the people of Brisbane, eliminating transport congestion, reducing congestion in the central business district, and increasing the frequency of public transport.
