Barcelona's Gran Vía transforms into a sustainable space for people, with construction management by SOCOTEC
The first phase of the redevelopment of Gran Vía de les Corts Catalanes in Barcelona has been completed.
The SOCOTEC Civil Works team was in charge of the construction management for this stage, which aimed to transform a traffic-dominated section above the tunnels, between Badajoz street and Poblenou avenue, into a new, sustainable urban space.

The project, executed by the UTE URBANIZACIÓN GRAN VÍA joint venture and promoted by BIMSA, received technical supervision from the construction management team. This supervision prioritized the use of materials with a low environmental impact and the implementation of a proximity lighting system.

"The technical management included designing for efficient water cycle management and creating a new urban ecosystem with shaded areas and shrubs to make the city a more pleasant environment."
SOCOTEC's construction management ensured that the design of the new promenade—with its wide-open spaces, seating areas, and playgrounds—was executed according to established technical and quality standards.

This intervention is part of the global transformation of the Glòries area, where the SOCOTEC team has also participated in other key projects such as the tram connection on Diagonal Avenue and the urbanization of Meridiana Avenue.
