La preocupación por la prevención de riesgos en operaciones de conservación de carreteras ha llevado tanto a las administraciones como a las empresas del sector a desarrollar, normalizar e implementar numerosas e importantes mejoras en la metodología y equipos a emplear. 

La prevención de accidentes en Sacyr no está concebida como un aspecto independiente de la actividad empresarial, sino que está articulada como un elemento primordial a tener en cuenta en el desempeño de tareas que puedan conllevar cualquier tipo de riesgo. La Prevención de Riesgos Laborales se integra en los procesos técnicos y operativos, la planificación y las condiciones del trabajo desde el primer momento. 

Desde esta perspectiva, Sacyr Conservación garantiza un servicio integral con el cumplimiento de los estándares más estrictos de seguridad y salud, en los que se incluye la seguridad vial, calidad y medioambiente. 

La mejora de la seguridad vial en el ámbito preventivo para los operarios de conservación de carreteras se considera un aspecto incuestionable y prioritario, en el que Sacyr Conservación no ha escatimado recursos durante los últimos años.

En este artículo vamos a hablar de la temática cortes de carril. Aunque la operación de corte de carril no es la que produce mayor número de incidentes, sí que es una de las de mayor riesgo en con¬servación de carreteras, tanto por la necesidad de parada en arcén de vehículos como por la exposición de los operarios durante el cruce de calzada a la hora de colocar los elementos de señalización y balizamiento. 

La mejora de los sistemas de seguridad a nivel preventivo para los operarios de conservación de carreteras se considera un aspecto incuestionable y prioritario.

 

 
 

Sacyr Conservación, de esta forma, se adelantó a las directrices de la Nota de Servicio 02/2021 sobre “Recomendaciones para la mejora de la seguridad en las actividades de conservación y otros trabajos con afección a las carreteras y autovías de la red de Carreteras del Estado”. Hemos sido pioneros en aspectos contemplados en ella como pueden ser, la formación presencial en Seguridad Vial, adquisición de furgones de doble portón o propuestas de mejora como la implementación de formación “Corte de carril: una visión inversiva”.

No cabe duda de que el avance en el uso de señalización luminosa de los vehículos de conservación ha mejorado mucho la protección de los equipos, maximizando la visibilidad y minimizando riesgos. En este sentido, no se busca estrictamente la mejora de los equipos materiales de señalización y el cumplimiento de los elementos que marca la normativa vigente.

Se trata de visualizar el comportamiento del personal de conservación de carreteras, durante el montaje y desmontaje de cortes de carril, y cómo se ve afectado por el tráfico de la vía en la que se trabaja.

 

Nuevas tecnologías en conservación

 

En un entorno cada vez más exigente, digital y complejo, donde la especialización y la tecnología son factores clave para la transformación a gran escala en los estándares de servicio, Sacyr Conservación apuesta por la innovación, desarrollando un gran número de proyectos y líneas de investigación certificadas. 

Con el uso de nuevas tecnologías, como la grabación a vista de dron y con cámara 360º, nos sirve para una mejora sustancial en la formación de nuestros técnicos y operarios durante el montaje y desmontaje de corte de carril en autovía. La “visión inmersiva” facilita, en sesión interactiva, la capacitación de los actores para minimizar los riesgos en la carretera. 

Ante todo, la seguridad

 

El proyecto Corte de Carril: una visión inmersiva, consiste en la realización de grabaciones con dron y cámara 360º de diversas operaciones de montaje y desmontaje de corte de carril en autovía o autopista, en situación real, con objeto de analizar desde la vista aérea el proceso de ejecución de dichas operaciones.

La finalidad es analizar los movimientos de nuestros operarios y la reacción de los usuarios para establecer unas pautas de procedimiento con objeto de minimizar los riesgos para los trabajadores y usuarios de la vía. 

 

 
 

Usando estos medios audiovisuales, se pretende: 


•    Identificar los puntos críticos del proceso en el que interaccionan equipos de conservación y usuarios de la carretera. 
•    Reducir los riesgos y mejorar la Seguridad Vial tanto de los operarios como de los usuarios. 
•    Conseguir un nuevo enfoque en la mejora de la Seguridad Vial con el uso de las nuevas tecnologías audiovisuales. 
•    Mejorar los procedimientos y establecer de instrucciones en el proceso de montaje y desmontaje de cortes de carril para reducir el riesgo. 
•    Diseñar acciones formativas basadas en acciones específicas para el tipo de riesgo al que se exponen los trabajadores. Analizar con los trabajadores la operación, a vista de dron, para definir situaciones de mayor riesgo. 
•    Mejorar la cultura preventiva en el ámbito de la Seguridad Vial Laboral. 
•    Complementar el Sistema de Gestión de Seguridad Vial de Sacyr Conservación. 
•    Buscar nuevas metodologías para mejorar la influencia en el comportamiento del usuario, así como concienciarlo, mediante posibles campañas en medios, de la necesidad de su colaboración para reducir los riesgos en la carretera. 

En definitiva, la vista que ofrece el dron durante el montaje y desmontaje de corte de carril permite un análisis profundo de las situaciones de riesgo de estas operaciones. En sesiones interactivas entre técnicos y operarios se ha conseguido definir cuáles son los procedimientos más seguros a la hora de moverse por la plataforma con el furgón, la señalización y el balizamiento necesarios. 

El análisis de los tiempos permite también valorar los medios materiales de los que se dispone (tipos de señales, soportes de transporte…), abriendo posibilidades a mejoras y optimización de aquéllos. La perspectiva aérea también permite valorar las características de la plataforma y plantear la mejora de la infraestructura (puntos singulares, arcenes estrechos…).

10 keys to driving circular transformation in infrastructure development

Encarna Mateos, Quality, Environment and Energy Director explains how we can transition to a circular economy model that differentiates us from other countries. She also adds some insight on what actions Sacyr is taking in this direction.

Quality, Environment and Energy Director

 

The construction and infrastructure development sector plays a crucial role in transitioning to a more circular economic model, given its significant impact on resource consumption and waste generation. However, considerable challenges persist: construction and demolition waste (CDW) accounts for a third of the total waste produced in the European Union, and circularity rates in countries such as Spain lag behind other European nations.

In light of this, the circular economy offers a transformative strategy for redesigning processes, minimizing environmental impacts, and boosting efficiency. Achieving this requires coordinated action from all stakeholders across the value chain, integrating circular principles from the initial design phase through to operation. In my view, the following ten areas are key to advancing towards a circular model:


1.    Changing the mindset


Moving away from the traditional linear model (design-build-use-demolish) and embracing a circular approach (design-reuse-use-recycle-maintain-regenerate). This involves integrating circularity criteria right from the design stage and fostering collaboration among all participants throughout the infrastructure lifecycle.

2.    Boosting the Market for Secondary Raw Materials


Implementing regulatory and economic measures to stimulate demand for recycled and reused materials. This includes establishing quality certifications, technical standards, and traceability mechanisms that build confidence in the market.

3.    Supporting innovation 


Maintaining funding programs, such as those within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (RTRP) and the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE), that support projects promoting circular solutions in construction, waste management, and digitalization. Simplifying access to these grants is essential.

 

4.    Digitization and data management 


Promoting the use of tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital twins, and collaborative platforms to manage information related to materials, maintenance, and reuse.

5.    Harmonized regulatory framework 


Establishing consistent and stable regulations at the European, national, and regional levels to facilitate the application of circular criteria, the approval of recycled materials, and investment in sustainable solutions.

 

6.    Green public procurement 

Incorporating environmental criteria into public procurement specifications, favoring proposals that integrate circular economy principles, and establishing monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance.

 

7.    Public-private partnerships 


Encouraging collaboration between government bodies, businesses, technology centers, and universities to develop standards, methodologies, and pilot projects that advance circularity in the sector.

 

8.    Transparency in the supply chain


Establish traceability systems that allow information to be shared on the origin, composition and destination of materials, facilitating their reuse and recycling.

 

9.    Training and sector awareness


Promoting education and training for all actors in the value chain – architects, engineers, companies, manufacturers, and clients – on the principles, tools, and benefits of the circular economy.

 

10.    Repurposing Waste as a Resource


Encouraging the acceptance of recycled materials as a viable alternative, promoting their use in new construction processes, and reducing reliance on virgin raw materials.

 

 
 

 

Several years ago, Sacyr made a decisive move towards circular transformation, moving beyond the traditional linear model and embracing a regenerative approach in all our projects. Our Zero Waste Plan has become the cornerstone of our efforts to achieve our circular economy goals, implementing specific actions across all areas of the company.

This plan has three key objectives: to reuse, recycle, or recover 80% of our waste each year; to progressively reduce hazardous waste by 1% annually; and to ensure that 80% of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste is also recovered.

The results are already evident in our projects: over 93% of construction and demolition waste has been recovered, more than 92% of total waste has been recycled or reused, and over 20% of the materials we use now come from sustainable sources. The Zero Waste Plan allows us to embed a circular model throughout the organization, aligning our efforts, creating synergies, and strengthening our commitment to a more responsible future.

We deliver infrastructures to improve people’s lives.

Sacyr begins construction on new urban highway access to Asunción, Paraguay

  • Paraguay’s President and Minister of Public Works inaugurated the groundbreaking ceremony, where they highlighted project benefits for the country. 
  • The project promises to significantly improve connectivity, reduce travel times, and enhance the quality of life for over a million people traveling to Asunción.
     

 

The Rutas del Este consortium (60% Sacyr Concesiones, and 40% Ocho A) has commenced construction of the new urban highway access to Asunción concession in Paraguay, a project poised to improve connectivity between the capital and inland cities. Total investment in the project is estimated at $180 million (€154 million).

Santiago Peña, President of Paraguay, and Claudia Centurión, Minister of Public Works and Communications, officially inaugurated the groundbreaking ceremony. President Peña emphasized: "This project will benefit all of Paraguay by adding two access roads that will alleviate traffic congestion on the main highway, which carries 80% of the country's commerce."

The project consists of a structuring road network, which has relevant works such as the Ypacaraí - Areguá variants and a 3.6-kilometer elevated urban highway, with two divided roads and four lanes and two new connections to route PY02, essential to improve connectivity between the capital and the interior:

  • The first connection, starting at kilometer 41 of Route PY02, will improve accessibility through Ypacaraí, Patiño, Areguá, and Luque.
  • The second connection, beginning at kilometer 43, will enhance accessibility to San Bernardino.

These corridors will be integrated to create a more efficient system for entering and exiting the metropolitan area.

The new road system will serve seven cities: Asunción, Luque, Areguá, Ypacaraí, San Bernardino, Nueva Colombia and Emboscada. 
 

Ruta PY02

Rutas del Este consortium previously undertook the Ruta PY02 widening and expansion project (151 km), a $520 million investment that became operational in 2023. This new section further expands its capacity and enhances its design.

This is one of the most significant road projects in the Eastern Region and the first to be executed as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in the country. The road stretches from kilometer 36 in Ypacaraí to kilometer 187 in Caaguazú.

The corridor impacts 11 municipalities across three departments of Paraguay. The concession covers the design, financing, construction, maintenance, and operation of the road for a period of 30 years.
