+110 years building history

Amongst the many projects carried out by the OHLA Group over more than one hundred years of history are certain emblematic works in terms of size, complexity, technical innovation or social scope. This section gathers a non-exhaustive catalogue of some of these activities.

Lagares WWTP. Spain

Modernization and expansion project of the Lagares WWTP. Spain. OHLA has designed the project to respond to the discharge conditions required in Directive 91/271/CEE for sensitive areas of over 100,000 inhabitants.The WWTP admits a flow rate of up to 12 m3 per second and can multiply by four the hydraulic capacity of the previous plant over which it has been built. It also has the potential to treat, in terms of contamination, the equivalent of up to 800,000 inhabitants.In 2019, it has been dist…

Terrassa – Rambla / Can roca tunnel expansion. Spain

OHLA has performed the track infrastructure and superstructure and the double tunnel catenary as well as the Renfe interchange and stations. The infrastructure has 4,500 meters of single track double tunnel excavated using the Tunnel Boring Machine method (TBM) and lined with prefabricated concrete segments.

Toluca intercity train. Mexico

OHLA is building the first section of the intercity train line that will connect Toluca, capital of the State of Mexico, with Mexico City, the country’s capital. With a length of 36.15 km, it is the most important section of the future Toluca- Mexico City railway.

Expansion of the Alicante Port. Spain

Incorporation of 30 Ha of esplanades –16 of them completely developed– into existing infrastructure and the rest of sheltered water. The inner harbor has three alignments of commercial piers and a dock for ferries. The project altogether represents 1,127 m of slope breakwater; 442 m of slope counter breakwater; 1,236 m of piers with caissons; 245 m of ro-ro type dock for ferries; 160,000 m2 of paved esplanade and 1,986 m of railway track.

Institute for Infants Bridge. Czech Republic

The Institute for Infants Bridge was built over the Morava River in Olomouc (Czech Republic), in 2008, carrying a local road. It has a span of 64.9 m long and a concrete slab suspended on double plane steel arch with a rise of 8.8 m.

Medellín Tram (Colombia) and AirportLink Railway Connection (USA)

The Medellín Tram, inaugurated in 2015 in Colombia, is the first modern tramway system in Latin America. In 2012, the AirportLink Railway Connection was inaugurated. It is the first construction project in the railway sector achieved by a Spanish company in the United States and the first stage of the extension project for the Miami Subway through the new Orange Line.

Red Vial 4 Toll Road (Peru) and Miami Highway Interchange (USA)

Improvement and widening of Red Vial 4 Toll Road, integrated in the Pan-American Highway North, main road link that runs along the Peruvian coast. In USA, the company finished the construction of the largest highway interchange in Miami, in Florida, with four levels of circulation and a height of up to 32 m

Port of A Coruña Port and Port of Gijón (Spain)

In 2012, OHLA was awarded the project to extend and improve the outer port at Punta Langosteira, in A Coruña (Spain). Among the works, outstanding is the use of Cubipod to built the protection layer of mound breakwaters. Also in Spain, the company has carried out the expansion of the mineral ore dock “El Musel”, in the Port of Gijón, in 2000.
