Headquartered near Madrid, it went public on Spain’s IBEX‑35 and now spans over 40 countries.
In infrastructure, it engineers and builds major transport corridors, bridges, tunnels, desalination plants, and urban light‑rail systems.
Its water division tackles everything from drinking‑water treatment to large‑scale desalination and wastewater reuse projects.
It also designs sustainable urban real‑estate and provides financial, mobility, and social‑infrastructure services.
Flagship projects range from the Eurus wind farm in Mexico and Sydney light‑rail to Australia’s pioneering waste‑to‑energy plants.
Unusually, it spun off its turbine unit into Nordex yet remains a top shareholder—spanning full clean‑energy value chains.
It even crafted the world’s first prefabricated lighthouse, blending innovation and practical construction expertise.
