IDOM's project featured on the cover of ENR We are thrilled to announce that our work on the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) enclosure has been highlighted on the cover of Engineering News-Record (ENR), a testament to our commitment to cutting-edge engineering solutions in the field of astronomical research. The GMT, once completed, will be one of the world’s most advanced ground-based telescopes, designed to provide unprecedented clarity in observing the universe. This recognition underscores the innovative engineering behind the telescope’s rotating enclosure, which is crucial for its operation in the challenging conditions of the Atacama desert. “This project is not only a remarkable engineering challenge but also an incredibly passionate journey for our team. The complexity of the GMT’s design pushes us to innovate continually, and we are proud to contribute to a project that will redefine our understanding of the cosmos.” says Nerea Castro, deputy project manager for the GMT enclosure design. “While there are large telescopes in seismically active regions such as Chile and Hawaii, use of seismic isolation on the structures is relatively uncommon. But as the telescopes get larger and more elaborate, it’s a concern”, says Tom Lorentz, president of North American operations for Spain-based IDOM. This has been one of the most interesting challenges as the seismic isolation system must provide the necessary stiffness for the telescope fine operation while providing isolation in case of seismic event avoiding harming any of the telescope’s hardware. This project reflects our dedication to advancing astronomical capabilities while adhering to the highest engineering standards. We look forward to the continued development of this groundbreaking facility, which is set to reshape our understanding of the cosmos. ENR article can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gJETpJdH

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗮!🌿 IDOM, together with the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo and the Costa Rican Ministry of Environment and Energy, has conducted a pre-feasibility study for the creation of a Green Hydrogen Technology Innovation Hub, a key component of the country's National Green Hydrogen Strategy. This hub will promote the production, storage and use of green hydrogen, thereby supporting the regional energy transition. We analysed the ecosystem, generated strategic alliances, identified key stakeholders and developed a business case to provide the roadmap for this exciting project.   #TechnologicalHub #GreenHydrogen #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #IDOM Pablo Soler Vélez | Joannes Granja Ibarretxe | Diego Alejandro Rojas| Lorenzo Gracia Blasco | Antonio Lázaro Ortega | Roemer Rosado Sosa| Mikel Eiguren Llona --------- ¡𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼́𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗱𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗿𝗼́𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗮! 🌿 En IDOM hemos llevado a cabo un estudio de prefactibilidad para crear un Hub de Innovación Tecnológica de Hidrógeno Verde, clave en la Estrategia Nacional del Hidrógeno Verde del país, junto con el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y el Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía costarricense.

From the city that gave the world the Paris Agreement in 2015, the Olympics are doing their bit for decarbonization   The Olympic Games currently being held in Paris are being billed as the most sustainable in history.   The key points of its sustainability strategy are as follows: - A circular approach to all decisions. - Reuse and adaptation of stadiums and sports facilities. - Decarbonization efforts, including Scope 3 (indirect emissions). - New buildings with lower carbon intensity. - Use of bio-based materials, timber construction. - Accessibility of facilities by public transport. - Paris 2024 Pass to facilitate the movement of spectators and fans. - Furniture design based on the reuse of materials. - The Olympic Village will generate renewable energy such as geothermal and solar. - Official fleet of electric and hydrogen vehicles.   We are part of these initiatives that not only reduce the environmental impact of the Games, but also inspire other events and society at large to adopt more sustainable practices.   If you want to know more about, you can read the Legacy and Sustainability plan - Paris 2024: https://lnkd.in/giDrqbt5 #olympics2024 #Paris2024Green #IDOM #Sustainability #Paris2024 --------------------  Los JJOO se suman al esfuerzo de descarbonización, desde la ciudad que le dio al mundo el Acuerdo de París en 2015 En estos días en París se celebran los Juegos Olímpicos con la aspiración de ser los más sostenibles de la historia.   A continuación, los puntos clave de su estrategia de sostenibilidad:   - Enfoque de circularidad en todas las decisiones. - Reutilización y adecuación de estadios e instalaciones deportivas. - Esfuerzo en descarbonización incluido Alcance 3 (emisiones indirectas). - Nuevas construcciones con menor intensidad de carbono. - Uso de materiales de origen biológico, construcción en madera. - Accesibilidad en transporte público a las instalaciones. - Paris 2024 Pass para facilitar el desplazamiento de espectadores y aficionados. - Diseño de mobiliario basado en la reutilización de materiales. - La Villa Olímpica genera energía renovable, como geotérmica y solar. - Flota oficial formada por camiones eléctricos y propulsados por hidrógeno.   Nos unimos a estas iniciativas que no solo buscan reducir el impacto ambiental de los Juegos, sino también inspirar a otros eventos y a la sociedad en general a adoptar prácticas más sostenibles. #JJOO2024 #París2024Verde #IDOM #Sostenibilidad

We are excited to share the article Engineering News-Record published about the Giant Magellan Telescope successfully passing its final design review! "The designer, Bilbao, Spain-based IDOM, has a background in large telescope enclosures, but this new class of telescopes brings fresh challenges. “This entire structure can rotate 360° in four minutes, and we’re controlling the air [flow] over the telescope during observation,” says Tom Lorentz, president of North American operations for IDOM and project principal for the Giant Magellan Telescope. " https://lnkd.in/g54jETTk

Giant Magellan Telescope Enclosure Ready for Construction The Giant Magellan Telescope's enclosure, one of the largest mechanized buildings ever constructed, passed its final design review and is now ready for construction in Chile. The Giant Magellan Telescope and IDOM announced today that the dome of the telescope, intended to be one of the world's largest astronomical facilities, has passed the final design review stage and is now ready to be built in Chile. The design approval marks an important milestone for the telescope, whose construction is 40 % complete, with a view to starting operations in the early 2030s.   A team of 10 international experts validated IDOM's design of the Giant Magellan Telescope dome as a technical and engineering feat. The 65-metre-high, 5,000-tonne dome will rotate in four minutes and will have 46-metre windows. This design will protect the 25.4-metre telescope, which will observe objects more than a billion light years away. Construction is progressing with the seventh primary mirror, the 39-metre mount and the first adaptive secondary mirror, among other technologies, providing 10 times the resolution of Hubble.   With the dome design completed, the Giant Magellan Telescope is now preparing for an international search process to select the company that will make its mark on the future of astronomy with the construction of the dome. #GMT #GiantMagellanTelescope #Telescope #Chile #Astronomy #Construction
