- New Lighthouse for Valencia Port
The lighthouse is a structure made from composites with polymeric matrix, measuring 31 meters high and with an octagonal layout. It essentially consists of two elements: the coffer that serves to house the equipment necessary for the operation of the lighting system of the beacon, and; the element that supports the structure itself.
The lighthouse structure consists of 8 carbon fiber tubular columns measuring 31 meters high. The columns have a circular section with a diameter of 250 mm and thickness of 20 mm. These columns are positioned on the ground at the vertices of an octagon located within a 4.5-meter circle in diameter at its base, and 4 meters in diameter at its crest.
The connection and horizontal stiffening of the eight pipes is achieved via a dual system:
The work won an award for innovation in design and materials at the 2016 international JEC World Innovation Awards, in the infrastructure category.

The City of Toronto Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) system is the world’s largest cooling solution of its kind. The system was built by ACCIONA Infrastructures to offer a sustainable, alternative source of air conditioning by using cold water from the depths of Lake Ontario to cool downtown Toronto office buildings.
Expansion of the navigation channel from a bottom depth of 80 m to 120 m, allowing access to larger vessels and the possibility of incorporating new commercial routes.
