A one-of-a kind project in the world
In the Spring of 2013, FCC is working on
decontaminating the portion of the Ebro Ri-
ver that flows past Flix, Tarragona. This is
a high-priority operation involving the era-
dication of over a century’s worth of toxic
waste dumped into the Ebro by local indus-
try. The timetable anticipates that it will take
two years and eight months to get the job
done.
The project was awarded by Acuamed (a
company owned by the national govern-
ment and operated by the Ministry of the
Environment) to a joint venture combining
FCC Construcción with FCC Ámbito in
2008. Unique in the world, this deconta-
mination project involves the extraction,
treatment, and elimination of sludge and the
recovery of the Ebro river and its ecosystem
for the 800,000 inhabitants in the province
of Tarragona.
