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 structure, which crosses the Vistula River, has a total length of 826.50 m and is 33.40 m wide. It consists of three elements: A 500 m long cable-stayed bridge over the main river bed, supported by two 90.7 m high H-shaped towers, a 251 m long bridge based on composite structure on the left bank lagoon and a 75.5 m long bridge on the right bank lagoon.
ACCIONA has been operating for a decade in the construction and real estate sectors in Poland, through Mostostal Warszawa and ACCIONA Nieruchomosc. Poland is one of the key markets in ACCIONA's globalization strategy. The company has set itself the target that 70% of its business revenue come from international markets, compared to the current 20%.
Over the years, ACCIONA, together with Mostostal, has executed many major products, such as:
- The Wroclaw Academy of Medicine.
- The Siekierkowski Bridge over the River Vistula in Warsaw, which was awarded a prize by the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure in the category of Architecture and Construction.
