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 ACCIONA consortium will be responsible for works totaling NZ$700 million (€400 million). The US engineering firms Aecom and Jacobs will collaborate on the design side.
The project includes the construction of 5km of busway, including a 590-metre flyover (Rā Hihi) over Reeves Road to connect Pakuranga Road with the Southeastern Arterial Highway, 12km of safe and separated walking and cycling routes, and five new bus stations.
By 2028 the busway will carry 18,000 passengers per day, more than four times the 3,700 bus passengers per day before Covid-19. By 2048 it is expected to increase to 24,000 passengers per day.
