underscored by Juan Pablo Merino, di-
rector of Communications and Corporate
Social Responsibility at FCC Aqualia, “the
prize was obtained thanks to the efforts of
the entire FCC Aqualia team which not only
performs an excellent job, but also incre-
asingly informs the community about its
work and the high added-value work that
the company provides for the citizens”.
of FCC Construcción added that “this is a
great engineering project in which the FCC
teams built junctions to avoid crossing other
existing infrastructures, such as the M-6’7,
the High Speed Madrid-Valladolid railway,
and the installations of Canal de Isabel II”.
A prize was also awarded to the “Line 1 of
the Panama Metro” Project, sponsored by
the Secretariat of the Panama Metro (SMP,

ject which benefits more than one million
people and which was built in a record-time
of three years. Vicente Mohedano, the ma-
naging director of FCC Construcción co-
llected the price and said that engineering
is at the service of society and that the pro-
ject had substantially improved the lives of
Panamanians since it only takes 23 minutes
to travel from one station to the other one.
