We are FCC - Nº4
20 years integrating energy efficiency solutions in urban environments For more than 20 years, FCC In- dustrial has been developing and integrating energy efficiency so- lutions in urban environments. What solutions does FCC Indus- trial and, specifically, your busi- ness area contribute? A large part of projects where FCC Industrial has had the opportunity of being able to participate have led to small advances in improving efficien- cy in urban surroundings. As part of FCC Industrial’s strategy, we would mention its involvement in improving and integrating the energy environ- ment, lighting, transport, operations and maintenance (O&M) and energy efficiency systems. The Technical Commercial Depart- ment of the IRMS Division works on a daily basis towards the constant im- provement of proposals for our clients in urban environments in relation to public lighting, medium and high voltage distribution networks, elec- trification and systems for urban in- frastructures, metro systems, service galleries, tunnels, and in end-to-end operations and maintenance. It has its own MMAO (management, maintenance, administration and operations system) developed by the department, and is currently making progress in developing innovative pre- dictive maintenance solutions. The energy service contracts represent a challenge and an opportunity for provi- ding new operation procedures. The department is working on innova- tion and R+D proposals, helping our urban clients in their digital transfor- mation, proposing analysis techni- ques, including bid data, aimed at hel- ping gathering data in advance and improving predictive maintenance. Following FCC Industrial’s recent participation in the Smart City World Congress, FCC Industrial is involved in managing intelli- gence and citizen services. Can you describe how this activity is conducted and what are the stra- tegic lines being followed in IT? In line with the above-mentioned, FCC Industrial has developed com- plete Data Centre projects for public and private clients, with Uptime Tier- IV certifications, without neglecting in any way its environmental perfor- mance, obtaining Leed Platinum and Breeam certifications. Our employees are currently operating and maintai- ning some of these data centres. We aim to incorporate cybersecuri- ty solutions in IT equipment and our software to ensure the effectiveness of our clients’ operations. Which are the major energy effi- ciency contracts that the Com- pany is currently developing? We would highlight the contract for comprehensive and energy manage- ment of the urban facilities in the city of Madrid totalling more than 250 mi- llion euros. Some of the key aspects of this contract are: • 91,999 points of light, 40% LED. • 994 remote-controlled control centres. • 697 regulated crossings. • 156 kilometres of galleries. • 19,626 kW initial scenario of installed power. • 80,184,550 kWh initial con- sumption scenario • 24.3 million euros of required investment. • More than 40% guaranteed • savings. Other contracts: • Maintenance service for the pu- blic lighting, tunnels, underground crossings, service galleries, re- newable energy sources ad insta- llations for Vigo City Council. • Management of outdoor lighting for the city of Lepe (Huelva) • End-to-end management of the public lighting system in Totana (Murcia. • Mixed-purpose contract for su- pply and services for providing the comprehensive service for outdoor lighting in Palacios and Villafranca (Seville). • Management of outdoor lighting in Isla Mayor (Seville). Lastly, how does FCC Industrial connect with the community? Our service activity focuses on im- proving the services demanded by our clients, closely linked to the com- munity. We connect to the communi- ty at the critical centres that we ope- rate and maintain, such as airports, metro systems, communications and installations at large commercial pre- mises that we designed, assembled and maintain, offices buildings, hos- pitals, leisure centres, schools, uni- versities, and libraries (including the National Library). We are working on improving our en- vironmental footprint and that every citizen with whom we operate in our processes.
