This project involved the construction of 1,300 metres of major tunnels in the Garraf Massif in addition to 2,500 linear metres of roadway. The proximity to residential buildings required a complex monitoring system.

All aspects of the work control and supervision necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the contract were analysed (geometry, quality, deadlines, budget, sustainability, monitoring of effects on the air, soil, water, vegetation and fauna, and other cultural aspects). Health and Safety was monitored during the works phase.

Total time for completion: 37 months.
