06\/14\/2017 – The extension of the \u201cVall\u00e8s metro\u201d in Sabadell carried out by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government Railways) has been awarded the prize for the best infrastructure of 2016. The award was presented yesterday during the celebration of the first edition of the \u201cNit de les Infraestructures\u201d (\u201cInfrastructure night\u201d). COMSA and COMSA Industrial, as companies involved in the execution of the works, were present at the event and accepted the award on behalf of all the construction companies who are members of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The award-winning project consists of the new 1.5 kilometre stretch between the new stations of \u201cCan Feu-Gracia\u201d and \u201cPlaza Mayor\u201d, which began operations on 12 September and which replace the old stations of \u201cSabadell Estaci\u00f3n\u201d and \u201cSabadell Rambla\u201d, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The jury gave special emphasis to the fact that the infrastructure was seen as a good example of demand-driven development as well as offering a positive cost-benefit ratio. In addition, the work has incorporated new technologies and trends in both the initial concept and also in the design, construction and maintenance of the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prize is subdivided into four categories, each of these corresponding to a different process within a public project of this importance: an award for the promoter, for the designer, for the construction company and another award for the management of the work. Jos\u00e9 Miarnau, CEO of COMSA Corporaci\u00f3n, received the award on behalf of all the companies that have participated in the construction of the infrastructure from the President of the Cambra Oficial de Contractistes d\u2019Obres de Catalunya (Official Catalan Chamber of Contractors) (CCOC), Joaquim Llans\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together with the work promoted by FGC in Sabadell, two other infrastructure projects also achieved recognition as finalists: line 9 of the Barcelona metro, the stretch between the \u201cZona Universitaria\u201d and its extension to terminal T1 of Barcelona airport, and the covering and urbanisation of the track through the neighbourhood of Sants, known as the \u201cJardines de la Rambla de Sants\u201d (\u201cGardens of the Rambla de Sants\u201d). COMSA and COMSA Industrial have also participated in the construction of these projects. The award ceremony, which took place yesterday under the auspices of the Foment del Treball Nacional (the principal confederation of Catalan businesses) was presided over by the Minister of Territory and Sustainability of the Catalan Regional Government, Josep Rull, who was accompanied by the president of the Catalan Advisory Council for Infrastructure, Francisco Guti\u00e9rrez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
