OHL is awarded, in JV, the expansion of the adjacent pier in the port of Barcelona for 40 million euros

The Port Authority of Barcelona has awarded the work of the third phase of the adjacent pier expansion of the city to a JV formed by the OHL affiliate, SATO (37.5%), FCC (37.5%) and COPISA (25%).

The project, with a budget of 40 million euros, consists of the extension towards the south of the adjacent pier 2B, currently under construction.

This way, a 476-meter-long line of pier with a water Depth of 12 meters will be built, which will include an infrastructure for the operations of loading and unloading 60-meter-long ferries.  Specifically, two ships will be able to coincide simultaneously.

In addition, it includes the expansion of the posterior esplanade of Adjacent pier 2B in a longitude of 480 m, finished off by a containment mote perpendicular to the pier.

This action is added to the others performed by OHL in the Port of Barcelona such as the construction of a new breakwater on the south end or the work to remodel the OneOcean Port Vell.
