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.
This project included pavement rehabilitation under live traffic conditions, and posed many challenges in the sheer geographical nature of sites and resource availability in the region. The extent of works on 5 transport routes surrounding the Bowen Basin included the reconstruction of approximately 96km of road spread over 43 sites located more than 250km West of Mackay encompassed by the townships of Nebo, Collinsville, Belyando Crossing and Clermont.
