ERSIGROUP It contributed to the rationalisation and prefabrication of the reinforcement, as well as to the implementation of mechanical connection solutions that facilitated the assembly of elements with highly complex geometries. The use of industrialised systems made it possible to reduce construction times, improve safety on site and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4406750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[68,67],"project_tag":[157],"class_list":["post-4406749","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-bridges-and-viaducts","project_category-civil-work","project_tag-spain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4406749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4406749"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4406749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4407703,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4406749\/revisions\/4407703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4406750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4406749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=4406749"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ersigroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=4406749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
