We are FCC - Nº3

FCC participated in the events to pay tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks on 17 August in the Catalan capital and in Cambrils (Tarragona) condemning terrorism and rejecting violence. FCC Medio Ambiente, in coordination with the security services, launched a deployment of resources to ensu- re the safety of the participants. The Company mobilised 67 operators in three work shifts prior to, during, and following the demonstration. Thirty-fi- ve different types of vehicles were used (three-wheelers, sweepers, open box vehicles, cisterns, collec- tors and small maintenance vehicles); 172 containers and 288 centring gui- des were removed and replaced ; anti explosive devices were attached to 150 trash bins; and 60 portable toilet cabins were installed. It is worth men- tioning that no incidences or damage to the urban furniture, containers or trash bins were recorded after the de- monstration. Appreciation The head of the Urban Guards of Bar- celona expressed to the Barcelona City Council his appreciation for the participation of FCC teams and for those in charge of coordinating the deployment. Miguel Martín Carmona, an FCC em- ployee whose performance on the day of the terrorist attack was very praiseworthy, participated in the first line of the demonstration jointly with all the public services such as firefigh- ters, the Urban Guard, Mossos d’Es- quadra, medical personnel, etc. Janet Sanz Cid, manager of Barcelo- na’s city Council department of the environment, Urbanism and Mobi- lity, visited FCC Medio Ambiente’s work site at Parque de Primavera to express her appreciation for the workers who had provided their services in the affected area on the day of the attacks. She went there accompanied by the Director of the Environment and Urban Services, Jordi Ribas, and the commissioner for the Environment, Frederic Xime- no. The Company has its operations base at this park from where it de- ploys workers involved in cleaning operations and waste collection services in the Ciutat Vella district. During the event, she expressed her appreciation to FCC Employees for their support to the victims at the site of the attack and also thanked them for their daily work and efforts to maintain the city in the best con- ditions. She also showed a particu- lar interest for the three FCC emplo- yees – Miguel Martín Carmona, Aroa ValeroMontmany and Verónica Brio Carqueijada – who were performing their cleaning tasks when the attack took place. She offered them all the support that was necessary and all the collaboration of the medical services of FCC.
