  • Until May 30, the company offers visitors different activities at the Plaza de Callao in Madrid

ACCIONA is sponsoring Civil Engineering Week in Madrid once again. This initiative, organized by the Madrid Association of Civil Engineers (CICCP), can be enjoyed until May 30 at Plaza de Callao (Madrid).

To celebrate the eighth edition, an attractive exhibition space open to the public will be set up under the motto “Driving sustainability”. Through immersive experiences, virtual reality, simulators, and models, visitors will learn about the advances and relevance of civil engineering in preserving sustainability in infrastructure, mobility, transport, dams, ports, roads, energy, structures, and innovative materials.

 

During these days, ACCIONA offers visitors different activities:

 

DISPLAY AREA

Throughout the week, visitors can learn about the company’s areas of expertise through various experiences. These include an explanatory model of its new technology for recycling composite materials and a virtual reality experience that allows visitors to “visit” the Umm Al Houl desalination plant in Qatar. Designed, built, and operated by ACCIONA more than eight years ago, this treatment plant supplies more than three million inhabitants. The company will also lend a 3D printer with real samples of its work to the exhibition.


“ENGINEERING FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT” WORKSHOP

Today, May 26, at 6:30 p.m., ACCIONA will participate in a workshop entitled “Engineering for Sustainable Social Development”, in which the company will present initiatives developed within its infrastructure projects and their impact on corporate strategy.

 

THEMATIC PODCASTS

ACCIONA experts will participate in two podcasts organized by the Civil Engineers' Association as part of Engineering Week:

  • Tuesday May 27, at 5:00 pm: “Technology applications in construction processes”, together with representatives from OHLA and Dragados.
  • Wednesday May 28, at 5:00 pm. “Engineering protects us”, with experts from Canal de Isabel II.

 

VISITS TO ITS FACILITIES

Lastly, ACCIONA has organized visits to the space that the company has in Torrejón de Ardoz to learn in depth about its advances in robotics and 3D printing. It has also offered the possibility of visiting its Innovation Hub and its Water Control Center (CECOA), a technological platform capable of capturing and processing hundreds of thousands of data to optimize the management of water treatment plants.
