The international expansion of Ferrovial continues to add milestones in the United States. The Spanish company has been selected, through its construction subsidiary Webber, to carry out the construction of two hydraulic installations of great importance in the state of TexasThe total sum of the two contracts amounts to approximately 720 million, which underlines the importance of Spanish engineering in the North American market.
In the Texan capital, Austin, Ferrovial will be responsible for the construction of a fire station within the framework of the Texas Department of Transportation's I-35 Capital Express Central project. This infrastructure, with a value of 426 million, will have the mission of taking rainwater from the drainage tunnels along the corridor to exert a effective flood control.
These projects are shaping up to be an improvement significant for the water infrastructure of two key cities with significant growth potential: Austin and Fort Worth
The pumping station will have 32 depth meters and will include four concrete volute pumps, reaching an impressive total pumping capacity close to million liters per minute. The works for this crucial facility began last July and are scheduled for completion on 2028 late.
The second large-scale project will take place in Fort Worth, where the company will focus on the extension from the water treatment plant Eagle MountainThis contract, valued at 295 million, is essential to meet the city's growing water demand, whose rapid growth has strained existing infrastructure.
The expansion seeks to increase the capacity of the facility by about 132,5 million liters of drinking water per dayThe scope of the contract is broad and includes the construction of systems of ozone generation and disinfection, flocculation and sedimentation tanks, biological filters made of granular material and a new membrane filtration installationWith the works already underway, it is estimated that the project will be fully completed in 2029These contracts reaffirm Ferrovial's position in the field of water infrastructure in the United States, a strategic market for the company.
