Large-Scale Civil Engineering

This highly complex engineering project involves the supervision and management of the construction of the A-30 road in the province of Murcia. This ambitious project spans from kilometer point 0.000 (junction with the A-30) to kilometer point 4.320, emphasizing the creation of a variant that will expand traffic capacity and improve connectivity in the region.

The "Northwest Arch Road of Murcia" extends over 20.7 kilometers, starting north of the Archena junction on the A-30 and connecting longitudinally with the RM-15 to the Alcantarilla junction. The project is divided into three sections (A, B, and C), with a particular focus on section A, whose budget for material execution amounts to nearly €41M.

SOCOTEC Spain, with its experience in large-scale civil engineering projects, takes on the control and surveillance of the works of the Northwest Arch Road of Murcia, southeast of Spain. The detailed attention to each component, from the imposing viaducts to the overpasses and underpasses, demonstrates the capacity and competence of SOCOTEC Spain in the comprehensive management of infrastructure projects.

This project not only marks a milestone in regional road development but also reflects the technical excellence that characterizes SOCOTEC Spain in the field of civil engineering.
