Proprietary Technologies Driving Innovation
At the cutting edge of infrastructure and energy sectors, innovation isn’t just a goal—it’s a way of life. From this vantage point, the market’s needs become crystal clear, leading to tailored solutions, some even patented, aimed at slashing energy costs and shrinking carbon footprints. When challenges arise, it’s all about walking the talk. And interestingly, many answers have been found in concrete and industrialisation. It’s a blend of tradition and technology that keeps pushing boundaries.
Main Benefits and Key Figures
Here’s a quick snapshot of what these projects bring to the table:
- Investment of 1,000 million euros in the Chamartín station remodeling
- 72 months contract duration for the Chamartín project, covering conceptual to detailed design
- 108 hectares of redevelopment in Barcelona’s waterfront naturalization project
- Creation of a new Green Way in southwest Madrid through the undergrounding of the A-5 road
- Design, installation, and operation of four Test Blanket Systems for ITER’s TBM Programme
Remodeling of Madrid – Chamartín Station
Esteyco, teaming up with architectural powerhouses UNStudio and b720, is spearheading the remodeling of Madrid’s Chamartín station for Adif AV. This isn’t just a facelift; it’s a comprehensive overhaul spanning conceptual design, preliminary plans, and detailed projects. The whole gig is set to roll out over six years, backed by a hefty investment of one billion euros. It’s a massive endeavor aiming to transform a key transport hub into a modern marvel.
The European Test Blanket Modules (TBM) for ITER
One of ITER’s big scientific quests is to test and validate Breeding Blanket concepts—these are crucial for tritium generation in power-producing reactors. The ITER TBM Programme involves designing, installing, and running four Test Blanket Systems, each contributed by different ITER Members. Europe’s role here is pivotal, taking charge of one of these systems, pushing the boundaries of fusion energy research and bringing the dream of sustainable power a step closer.
De La Mar Bella Promenade, Barcelona
In a joint venture with Estudi Martí Franch, ESTEYCO has wrapped up the first phase of redeveloping and naturalizing the last stretch of Barcelona’s city waterfront awaiting transformation. This project covers a vast 108 hectares, aiming to complete the beachfront stretch between Parc del Poblenou and Parc del Fòrum. It’s about reconnecting the city with its waterfront, blending urban life with nature in a seamless, refreshing way.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – through innovative energy solutions and reduced carbon footprints
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – by advancing infrastructure projects and proprietary technologies
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – via urban redevelopment and naturalization efforts
- SDG 13: Climate Action – focusing on lowering emissions and promoting green urban spaces
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – collaboration across firms and countries, especially in ITER’s international efforts
Undergrounding of the A-5 Road in Madrid
Esteyco is also behind the design of a new Green Way in southwest Madrid, born from the undergrounding of the A-5 road as it exits the capital. Think of it as an extension of Madrid Río, creating a new longitudinal connection between the west and the city center. This green corridor will link five key districts, offering a fresh, sustainable urban spine that encourages walking, cycling, and community interaction. It’s urban planning with a heart, aiming to breathe new life into the city’s fabric.
