new framework for smart collective protection
system deployment.

Sensors, such as accelerometers, distance
and positioning meters are fitted to personnel
and other types of sensors are fitted to ma-
chinery, creating an environment that is ma-
naged from a monitoring platform that per-
mits work on the improvement of personnel
safety and thus prevent accidents.
ISOLUX, CARTIF, GEOCISA, AITEMIN and
the Madrid Polytechnic University are also
participating in the PRECOIL project.
This project is framed within the innovation
policy being backed by Grupo FCC. FCC
Construcción is participating in the technolo-
gical elements of the most significant works
by preparing its own R+D+i projects and
those for improving construction procedu-
res which, in combination with support from
available ancillary equipment, materials and
means, will enable companies to provide their
clients with a range of their own technical so-
lutions that represent a differentiating factor in
the overall sector.
In 2013, 9.11 million Euros were invested in
R+D+i projects.
