Adriano Port extension, Islas Baleares
Description
The works entailed the construction of a new dock in the port as well as series of other works in part of the existing port. The works involved enhancement of previous facilities and the number and size of the moorings offered, thus providing 82 new moorings for sports boats between 20 meters and 60 meters long. A series of commercial buildings including; workshops and new services facilities for port users were also built.

The largest port in America
Description
It is located 315 kilometers north of Rio de Janeiro. It is the third largest port in the world and the largest in America. This is a deep-water port with a total expected transport capacity of 350 million tons of cargo per year.
The project involves the construction of a 2438 meters vertical dyke, which was executed by manufacturing and anchoring of 49 reinforced concrete segments. One section of dike was also placed in the 600 meters long slope. The first 9 segments were manufactured in the Port of
Algeciras and were transported to the site on semisubmersible barges.
Description
The Bascule Bridge in Barcelona was constructed to establish a new land connection between the Poniente and Adosado docks of the Port. The project is divided into two parts; the section of mobile
bridge over the navigation channel built in structural steel and with special piles which house the actuators for the draw bridge; and the access viaducts that connect the base of the docks with the mobile bridge section. The bridge deck at 22 meters above sea level is actuated to enable larger ships to navigate the channel. The combined length of the marine works is 1,150 meters and the bridge is 12 meters wide.
Aspectos destacados
- La longitud total de la obra es de 1.150 metros y la anchura del puente es constante de 12 metros.
- De este puente se puede considerar como singular no sólo su tablero sino las pilas principales, elementos que armonizan y completan un conjunto casi escultórico.
