Section II has a length of 21.8 kilome- tres. The execution of the infrastructu- re includes 13.7 kilometers correspon- ding to the Chame-Punta Barco zone variant, in addition to the design of two interchanges to improve the connec- tions between variants.

The Central Quad and East Quad buil- dings will be constructed in accor- dance with the Public Private Part- nership system. Upon completion, they will provide university services to 10,000 students and the staff of the Grangegorman Centre for Ad- vanced Study. El Alamein Desalination Plant (Egypt) As part of the FCC Group’s synergies, the infrastructure area is building the El Alamein desalination plant in Egypt jointly with Aqualia. Located in the Mediterranean coast, in an area of growing tourist develop- ment, the plant will treat 150,000 m3/ day, thus satisfying the strong water demand in the area. drica de la zona.
