CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
Over 2,000 million people in the world live without access to a basic drinking water service, and 3,6 billionhave no access to a basic sanitation service, resulting in avoidable deaths, chronic disease, fewer hours of education and low productivity.
ACCIONA has positioned itself as a key player in the water treatment sector. Its innovative management seeks to resolve the challenges with respect to the shortage of water resources.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The generation and use of energy accounts for 35 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This activity is the largest contributor to global warming. Investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low-carbon technologies will continue to be essential to meet the emerging needs of humanity and to minimize their negative impact on the environment.
ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its effects to be a strategic priority. The company works to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to the progress of society and respond to the main challenges of sustainable development in the areas of infrastructure, water and energy, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The contract covers customer support work, cleaning and inspection of the pipe network, sewage management, maintenance of pumping systems and technical support, among other things, as well as various emergency works and repairs. For this, the company will use state-of-the-art equipment and zero-emission vehicles.
In line with its goal of digitalizing the entire water cycle, the company will introduce various 4.0 technologies such as the use of a 'digital twin', consisting of a virtual replica of the sewerage network, which will allow it to test and analyze the different innovations to be implemented efficiently and safely. Likewise, through event analysis with predictive algorithms, it will be possible to draw up action plans that will enable a better management of water resources.
Among other advances, the company will introduce geographic information systems (GIS) and implement its own GOTA CIA platform, integrated into municipal warning systems, which will help locate network assets and available technical resources on a map, thus ensuring a much more efficient operation and maintenance service.
