AMAZON logistics centre

Promsa faced in 2017 the challenge to supply the new logistics platform of Amazon in El Prat de Llobregat.

The foundation of the slab took several months of supply, the largest (in dimensions and volume) Promsa has ever supplied: 32,000 m3 at a daily rhythm of 500 m3 served from the concrete plants in Zona Franca and Pallejà.

The Pavements phase, 50,000 m2 of screed on the foundation slab with controlled retraction concrete and finishes of high planimetry.

150,000 m2 of compression layer on the Precon alveolar pre-slabs (company of the Ciments Molins group), a concrete with lesser planimetry requirement, but with the handicap of thickness (7/10 cm).

For the urbanisation phase (Sanitation, services, accesses and parking platforms for trucks) we supplied over 7,000 m3 of Flexotraction Concrete.

Finally, in the office area we supplied 2,000 m2 of self-levelling mortar.

Muelle adosado

PROMSA ÁRIDOS supplies since July 2017 the UTE ACCIONA COPCISA all-in-one-core and jetties, necessary for the expansion of the Muelle adosado and the construction of a new multi-purpose terminal for the mooring of vessels in the Port of Barcelona, the volume we expect to supply is 420,000 t in 5 months.

The extension of the Muelle adosado is being done by dredging the sludge of the seabed at a 30 m depth and to replace it by pouring All-in-one-core and jetties, by split barge, a vessel that transport 1000 t per trip, creating a foundation to dock on them big prefabricated concrete crates that measure 40x20x20 m and weigh 6,000 t, with which a barrier is created reclaiming land from the sea and building a large surface for the new mooring terminal.

To transport the material from the quarry to the port we have recruited a fleet of over 150 trucks which has represented a great challenge to carry out daily supplies of 7,000 t.

Pavements in Caves Codorniu

Fresh concrete with fibers was supplied to the Facilities of Codorniu to make the outdoor pavement.

This pavement covered the upper part of one of the wineries.

The use of fibers makes it possible to not use mesh in pavements and floors, as well as avoid cracks.
