for the new Tres Cantos
Development Complex
The Professional Association of Civil Engi-
neers of Madrid chose to give FCC its Best
Municipal Public Works award for the de-
velopment complex in Sector AR Nuevo
de Tres Cantos. The award was received
by Mayor Jesús Moreno of Tres Cantos
and Carlos García León representing FCC
Construcción at the Civil Engineers’ fifth
annual awards ceremony.
The execution of this sustainable complex
is one of the most important urban deve-
lopments currently being executed in the
Madrid Autonomous Community. It con-
templates several measures to provide ser-
vices to a population of 30,000 inhabitants.
José Manuel Pradillo,
managing director of
CRTM, handed the award
to Mayor Jesús Moreno
of Tres Cantos and Carlos
García León representing
FCC Construcción.
Key highlights of the Northern Area
Tres Cantos project
●
35 kilometres of new streets.
●
235 kilometres of new drinking-wa-
ter, natural gas, telephone and power
lines, including 84 transformer sta-
tions.
●
90 kilometres of new sewer pipes.
●
8 kilometres of bike lanes.
●
10 bridges and two tunnels.
Great efforts were made to provide the area
with access to the surrounding road net-
work.
All the work carried out contributes to im-
proving the quality of life of the current and
future residents of this zone.
The service-rerouting work and the deve-
lopment work are aimed at improving the
environment while keeping environmental
impact to a minimum. The amount of gar-
den and park area has been increased by
more than 50 hectares.
The mayor said, “In the northern area of Tres
Cantos the first residents have already mo-
ved in and more than 4,000 homes are un-
der construction. The area will have 7,000
homes and a strong industrial fabric, in
addition to broad avenues, parks, gardens
and a bike lane. It’s certainly a very attrac-
tive location for people looking for a home,
and new companies are also showing inter-
est in setting up shop in Tres Cantos. Our
population is young and highly educated,
and we’ve got an unemployment rate of
just 8%. I’d like to dedicate this award to
all the citizens of Tres Cantos and everybo-
dy who shows that they believe in our city
every day, by living and working in it”.
●
Burying of 15 kilometres of high-vol-
tage power lines.
●
Widening and improvement of two
kilometres of road M-607, plus two
new major road junctions for the sec-
tor.
