The Head of Civil Works Procurement at Aldesa in Spain, José Luis López Ruiz, together with the First Vice President of the Government of Spain, María Jesús Montero, and the President of the Provincial Council of Seville, Javier Fernández, attended the official inauguration of the Huesna System water infrastructure (Seville).
The construction and execution of these works, made possible thanks to Aldesa’s efforts, enable water to be transported by gravity from the Huesna reservoir to the Villanueva del Río y Minas drinking water treatment plant (DWTP), thereby benefiting more than 250,000 residents in the area.
La obra, concluida en 2024, ha consistido en la creación de una tubería de 1.400 mm de diámetro -en dos tramos- de 9,5 kilómetros de longitud, de los cuales 6,3 transitan a través de un túnel, lo que hace posible llevar un caudal con capacidad de hasta 2,5 m³/s.
The execution of this project required an investment of €34.1 million, which on the one hand delivers annual energy savings of 10 GWh and, on the other, reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 89%. The new infrastructure also guarantees water quality by abstracting water directly from the reservoir rather than from the river, resulting in a 10% reduction in reservoir releases and increased reliability by eliminating dependence on a pumping system.
De esta manera, Aldesa demuestra una vez más su músculo en proyectos demandantes y exigentes, pero sobre todo su capacidad de aportar soluciones para mejorar las prestaciones de infraestructuras, mejorar la eficiencia y sostenibilidad ambiental de una región y sobre todo la calidad de vida de las personas que se benefician de ella.
