FCC Industrial to carry out renovation and refurbishment works on the Teatro Real

The scope of work covers the general restoration of the facade, repairing the damaged roof, remodelling the air conditioning facilities and electricity in the theatre, as well as replacing the drapery of the staging area, which covers a surface area of more than 600 square metres on one level, rising to 1,430 square metres if the production areas that are 16 metres below stage level are added.

This contract joins other infrastructures that have been entirely implemented by FCC Industrial, such as the remodelling of facilities at Palacio Cibeles, which is the new location for the City Council of Madrid; as well as the remodelling of the electromechanical installations of the Bank of Spain. It has also worked on theatres including Zorrilla in Valladolid and the theatre in El Escorial in Madrid.

Special emphasis should be placed on the recently opened theatre and cultural centre of Coslada (Madrid). The project consisted of constructing a rectangular building with a concrete and metal structure and a 12,281-m2 surface area. The building has a set of technical characteristics that make the architectural complex particularly distinctive. During the construction phase, the pile-driving had to protect the tunnel vault of line 7 of the metro that passes below the infrastructure.

The theatre can seat 796 spectators, making it possible for local people in the "Corredor del Henares" to attend the different cultural events its holds.

FCC Industrial building emblematic infrastructures

FCC Industrial has vast experience on building unique infrastructures.  In addition to the inaugurated theatre and cultural centre, the company has built a municipal library that is currently in use and can hold up to 70,000 books.

Last year, FCC Industrial built the Murcia Data Processing Centre, which was the first project to be awarded the LEED Platinum certification, obtaining the highest scores for sustainability and energy efficiency in Spain and Latin America.

In 2012, FCC Industrial also completed the comprehensive and integrated implementation of Torre Windsor. Following the fire, FCC Industrial built the commercial division of the new building as well as the other floors intended for office use. This project transformed the city of Madrid's skyline.
