Callao Port
FCC is building the new Callao Port, the
largest in the country and one of South
America’s largest Pacific ports, for around
165 million euros.
The work in the port corresponds to con-
tract number 3, as part of a very ambitious
investment plan, broken down in phases,
amounting to 1 billion dollars through 2020.
The project will also affect piers 5 and 11,
which will measure 560 metres and 280
metres, respectively.
Trujillo sports
complex
In Peru, FCC is also building the Trujillo
sports complex, in the country’s north-eas-
tern region, known as the Chicago Sports
Complex. The athletics stadium, seating
5,505 spectators and with a total area of
23.587 m2, includes a 400-metre track with
a central enclosed area with natural grass,
2 long and triple jump runways measuring
61 metres with a sand box on each side, 2
pole vaulting runways, 2 high jump areas,
2 javelin throw runways, 2 discus throwing
platforms, and 2 hammer throwing plat-
forms. The complex also has a closed co-
liseum for different types of sports events
and a multi-sports area for basketball and
volleyball.
Pier 5 is used for handling containers and
bulk ore, while pier 11 provides port servi-
ces for the import of agricultural products
and has cement silos with a storage capa-
city of 25,000 tonnes.
FCC will be completing the work on this
phase of the port, which handles more
than 1.9 million containers each year, in
23 months, for the client APM Terminals,
a Maersk Group company, is the world’s
fourth-largest port operator.
