Good examples would be the outer port of A Coruña, the AVE in the Medina-Mecca desert in Saudi Arabia, or the urgent reconstruction of the A-6 “El Castro” bridge ( Leon) , which have received public praise from experts and administrations at the conclusion of the work.

Logically, we are pleased that our contribution to the structuring of the country’s infrastructures and to the resolution of road alerts does not go unnoticed and is valued. But it is also a good example of the need to simultaneously attend to works of very different uses that may be 15,000 kilometers away and in more than 14 countries and four continents, with enormous differences, cultures and needs
