In recent years, the Construction Area has worked on construction projects to build sporting facilities. The number of projects for the construction of sporting complexes carried out by this business area has grown considerably since our first projects for the renovation of swimming pools began. This experience has made it possible for us to develop a full range of know-how in this area, an essential requirement for renovating, modernising and constructing the sporting centres successfully.

The complexes developed by this business area include the following: the Wellness Centre sporting facility in Huelva, the municipal indoor swimming pools in Valverde del Camino in Huelva, Las Gabias in Granada, Morón de la Frontera in Seville and Cuevas del Almanzora in Almeria.

In 2008, it is anticipated that the area will complete two new facilities sponsored by Seville City Council’s Municipal Sports Institute. In the construction of these centres, located in the neighbourhoods of Bellavista and San Jerónimo, the Construction Area has employed new technology for the construction of swimming pools using stainless steel panels. These systems, which have already used in the facilities which hosted the world swimming championships in Barcelona, have been extremely successful in terms of functionality and innovation.

Moreover, this type of construction work requires a very complex type of engineering which must be perfectly coordinated with the construction of the buildings. This integration of engineering and construction work is an essential element in the execution of projects to construct modern sporting complexes, hotels, hospitals, and other industrial construction work which demands agility and experience in integrating services and facilities.
