Sacyr Concesiones
We have reached three successful years of operation and maintenance since the award of the contract for our first PPP in Brazil, the RSC-287 highway. We are responsible for its comprehensive maintenance and we are making major improvements to the road, which will be completed in 2026.
Through the Rota de Santa Maria concessionaire, we are responsible for the operation and improvement of 204 km of the RSC-287 highway from 2021. This important route connects the regions of Tabaí and Santa Maria in the south of the country. It thus benefits approximately 1,100,000 people.
In 2023, our professionals reached the milestone of implementing the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), with more than 600 24-hour surveillance cameras, fixed variable message panels, speed controllers and weather stations. A complete traffic surveillance system that further improves road safety.
But it would not be until April 2024 that our team would face its biggest challenge to date. The extreme weather events that hit the Rio Grande do Sul region forced our professionals to act quickly and effectively to reconnect the region.
Under the slogan '[Re]conectamos o coração do Rio Grande do Sul', the team succeeded in rebuilding RSC-287 in record time. A major milestone for which they were recently recognized as finalists in the GRI Infra Awards Brazil 2024.
