    Mucho ánimo, fuerza y cariño para todos los afectados. Seguimos trabajando incansablemente en las zonas de la Comunidad Valenciana afectadas por la DANA para intentar que la cuenta atrás hacía la normalidad sea lo más rápida posible. Este fin de semana, los equipos de Dragados SA comenzaron con la retirada de escombros. Lo hemos hecho en colaboración con los voluntarios y residentes de las zonas afectadas, despejando también todo lo acumulado en las vías de tránsito. Un total de siete grúas autocargantes han sido enviadas para retirar vehículos en distintos pueblos, en coordinación con las autoridades. Hemos desplazado también a Sedaví un equipo de personal y maquinaria que se ha encargado de la limpieza de la zona del pueblo que nos han asignado las autoridades. Para que os hagáis una idea aproximada, podéis ver los avances en el plano que os mostramos. Asimismo, tenemos un equipo de personal que está achicando el agua de bajos y parkings siguiendo las indicaciones de los bomberos tanto en La Torre como en Sedaví. También han estado en Torrente prestando colaboración. También estamos trabajando en la red ferroviaria. Dragados y sus empresas están trabajando en la línea de Alta Velocidad Madrid-Valencia, en un tramo de 15 kilómetros entre Buñol y Cheste. En colaboración con ADIF también estamos cubriendo un tramo de 23 kilómetros en la línea 300 del Cercanías de Valencia, incluyendo las estaciones de Benifaio, Algemesí, Alzira, Carcaixent y Pobla Llarga. Y con FGV prestamos servicio al área que comprende la estación de Valencia Sud, los talleres de FGV y sus oficinas centrales. Por otro lado, desde CLECE, S.A. hemos puesto a disposición de cualquier afectado un servicio gratuito de atención psicoemocional. Toda persona que atraviese un estado emocional complicado debido a los efectos de la DANA puede llamar al 900 494 279 y dar la clave "Corazón y Manos Emergencia" para ser atendido por un profesional que le proporcionará las pautas para sobrellevar estos momentos. Esperamos que el trabajo sea fructífero y siga dando resultados para poder ir comunicando buenas noticias en los próximos días. También nos gustaría agradecer sinceramente todas las muestras de apoyo y los ofrecimientos que nos están llegando desde todas las partes del mundo. Canalizaremos la ayuda de la mejor forma posible y así lo trasladaremos para que tenga efecto. La experiencia del Grupo ACS está a vuestro servicio. No os vamos a dejar solos. Estamos juntos, estamos con vosotros. #OneGroupOneTeam HOCHTIEF, Turner Construction Company, CIMIC Group Limited, Dragados SA, Flatiron Construction, Iridium Concesiones de Infraestructuras, S.A. , Abertis, CLECE, S.A.

    Dragados UK & Ireland and Transport for London are thrilled to announce that the Bank Station Capacity Upgrade (BSCU) has been shortlisted for NRA 2024 in the Major Project of the Year category! BSCU is a transformative infrastructure project that enhances station capacity, safety, and accessibility. Dragados and LU have built a new entrance and southbound platform, 12 escalators, two travelators, two lifts, and 1.3km of new tunnels and passageways. This has increased Bank Station's capacity by 40%, improved safety, and provided step-free access. Procured and awarded by TfL in August 2013 through the Innovative Contractor Engagement (ICE) process, this NEC design and construction project was completed in February 2023. Four major openings, including a 17-week closure of the Northern line, were required to integrate the new infrastructure into the existing station on time. This achievement is a true testament to teamwork and collaboration. Dragados extends heartfelt thanks to TfL, the designers, contractors, and suppliers for their incredible collaboration in delivering "Best for Bank." The National Rail Awards 2024 ceremony will take place on September 12th, 2024. We look forward to the NRA ceremony with our fantastic team and partners.
