Bullarque Canal

Developed in Ciudad Real, it forms part of a major water management project aimed at modernising the irrigation infrastructure and ensuring a sustainable water supply for Ciudad Real and the surrounding region. The works involved lining 18.5 kilometres of canal with steel pipes measuring between 1.8 and 2.2 metres in diameter, encased in concrete and subsequently covered with earth. Thanks to this project, direct water savings of over 7 hm³ were achieved

Given the linear and repetitive nature of the infrastructure, ERSIGROUP opted to use prefabricated reinforcement consisting of custom-folded electro-welded panels, a solution specifically designed to optimise construction processes in water conduits. This approach made it possible to significantly reduce construction times, simplify assembly and minimise the need for manual labour on site

Industrialised manufacturing ensured high geometric precision, full traceability of the corrugated steel and enhanced quality control throughout all stages of production and assembly. Furthermore, ERSIGROUP helped to improve safety on site through sling handling systems and processes that reduce occupational risks and the need for auxiliary labour. The construction solution adopted made it possible to increase installation efficiency and optimise coordination between the various construction teams on a hydraulically highly complex project
