El área de construcción del Grupo FCC colabora las tareas de restablecimiento de los servicios afectados por la DANA

The FCC Group's construction division is carrying out different activities in the towns affected by the DANA in order to recover the damaged services. Since 30 October last, the construction area has been collaborating in the reconstruction, cleaning and restoration of part of the services affected by the DANA that devastated the towns surrounding Valencia on 29 October 2024. 

FCC Industrial has deployed its technical and human resources in Cuenca to replace all the electricity supply points, specifically in the town of Mira, one of the most damaged in the province. The company has re-established the supply in all the towns affected by the DANA in Cuenca. For its part, it has made generators available to various stakeholders to continue to provide electricity supply. 

For its part, Convensa is cleaning up the C3 railway line between Valencia and Buñol, working along the entire route and at the stations of San Isidre, Xirivella, Aldaia, L'Origuilla, Cheste, Chiva and Buñol. More than 30 technical staff and around 30 machines and lorries have been distributed along the 40 kilometres of railway track affected. The work carried out in this first phase consists of cleaning and clearing everything swept away by the flood, vehicles, lorries, containers, trees, pipes, etc., as well as carrying out an initial assessment of the damage and then proceeding to restore the line as soon as necessary by means of emergency work. Collaboration with ADIF has been key, with up to eight teams of machinery deployed at Aldaya, L'Origuilla and Cheste stations in less than 24 hours. At the same time, work is being done at the various affected stations to create accesses and storage areas along the route. 

Finally, FCC Construcción is working on the reconstruction of the two existing damaged bridges on the CV-33 (intersection of the Rambla del Poyo with the CV-33 (Pincaya) at the ‘zero’ zone of the DANA). At present, traffic is closed on both carriageways of the CV-33. The situation is being technically analysed by the company's Technical Services, as well as by the technicians assigned to the affected area. Work is being carried out to clean up and prepare accesses with earth-moving machinery. Work is being carried out quickly to reduce repair times on one of the abutments of the two bridges affected with the aim of restoring traffic as soon as possible, given that this is a high-capacity road in the Valencia metropolitan area.

Subsequently, the other affected bridge will be repaired, since one of its abutments has completely disappeared, causing a bridge span to fall. 

The FCC Group's construction division is committed to the work and activities we carry out in the affected area, providing human and material resources to resolve the damaged infrastructure as quickly as possible.
