FCC Construcción (FCC) has won the contract for the design and construc- tion of the new “North Runway” at Du- blin Airport (Ireland). Currently, Dublin Airport has two ope- rational runways: the main runway 10R / 28L and the cross runway 16/34 that only comes into operation under certain weather conditions and on certain occasions to relieve conges- tion on the main runway. The new “North Runway”, is 3,110 meters long and will be located to the north of and parallel to the existing main runway 10R / 28L. The main ob- jective of the project is to decongest aircraft traffic in the main runway and increase air traffic and frequency at the airport.

The- se projects include: the expansion of the M-50 urban highway from two to four lanes in each direction that for- ms a C-ring around Dublin with major junctions facilitating access to the city, and in particular, to Dublin Airport and Dublin Port; and, Enniskillen hospital that has an energy demand manage- ment centre and is one of the most modern and advanced hospitals in Europe in terms of energy efficiency. construction Currently FCC is undertaking the con- tract for the design and construction of two buildings within the new Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) Gran- gegorman campus in Dublin. Once completed, they will provide university services to 10,000 students and staff at the Grangegorman Higher Study Centre. In addition, within the Dublin Airport campus, FCC Industrial is redeveloping the aircraft fuel supply facilities and hydrant system at the airport. With this infrastructure, FCC Industrial is improving operational efficiency at Dublin Airport.
