Prefabricados Delta is an FCC Group firm devoted to the production of precast components, fundamentally for civil engineering work. At the present time it operates four precast component factories, two situated in Humanes, Madrid, and the other two in Puente Genil, Córdoba.
Wather pipe supplies
A total of 128 kilometres of pipes was supplied. Of this, 75 kilometres were fibreglass-reinforced polyester pipe and 53 kilometres were post-tensioned concrete pipe with metal sleeves and elastic joints.
The most significant works contracts included the following:
Irrigation, road and drainage infrastructure of Serpa-Pias, likewise in Portugal, for EDIA. In this case the supplies shipped out consisted in 12.5 kilometres of post-tensioned concrete pipe with metal sleeves and elastic joints, with maximum design pressures of between 10 and 16 atmospheres and diameters ranging between 700 and 1,200 mm.
Irrigation, road and drainage infrastructure of the Ferreira, Figuerinha and Valvom Blocks for EDIA (Empresa de esenvolvimento e Infraestruturas do Alqueva, S.A.) in Portugal, with 18 kilometres of post-tensioned concrete pipe with metal sleeves and elastic joints supplied in diameters ranging from 700 to 1,800 mm and maximum design pressures of between 6 and 10 atmospheres.
Lining of Sentmenat Canal for Seiasa del Noreste (Sociedad Estatal de Infraestructuras Agrarias, S.A.) in the area of Colomers, Girona, with nine kilometres of pipe, again, post-tensioned concrete with metal sleeves and elastic joints in diameters of 1,800, 1,600 and 1,400 mm and a maximum design pressure of four atmospheres.
Modernisation of the irrigation system used by the Almazán Canal Irrigation Association of Almazán, Soria, for Seiasa del Norte. For this modernisation job, 52 kilometres of FRP pipe were supplied in nominal diameters of between 400 and 1,400 mm, rated for pressures of 10 and 16 atmospheres.
Railway sleeper supplies
During 2009 192,000 pre-tensioned monoblock sleepers were supplied, fundamentally type PR-01 (multipurpose sleepers for domestic- and international-gauge rails), intended largely for ADIF Infraestructuras.
Sleepers were also supplied to private builders for projects such as the Seville-Cádiz high-speed line's subsection from Las Cabezas de San Juan to Lebrija and Phase I of the project to improve marine access to Seville Harbour.
Reiforced-concrete segment supplies
With Prefabricados Delta's securing of the contract to supply 4,000 linear metres (2,600 rings) of reinforced-concrete segments for the infrastructure construction project to extend line 2 of the Madrid Metro to Las Rosas, a facility in Humanes was started up, devoted to manufacturing this very product. During 2009 a total of 1,008 rings (1,512 linear metres) were made and a total of 7,056 segments was manufactured.
