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.
ACCIONA, in collaboration with Fulton Hogan, is undertaking the design and construction of the Rockhampton Bypass, valued in the initial phase at A$280 million, the project includes the construction of the section of the bypass between the Bruce Highway / Rockhampton-Yeppoon Road intersection and the Monier Road embankment. It also includes works required for the realignment of Boundary Road, McLaughlin Street, the existing Boundary Road and Monier Road access, as well as the construction of accesses for the Dreamtime Cultural Centre, the Queensland Ambulance Service and the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services precinct.
The ring road will bypass 19 sets of traffic lights and eliminate more than 2,500 heavy vehicles per day through Rockhampton, improving safety, congestion, and travel times. It will also improve flood defense and traffic flow and capacity.
