FCC Environment provides cleaning and maintenance services for fountains, whether ornamental and artistic or simple drinking fountains, to 3 million inhabitants in Spain and abroad. The city of Barcelona stands out, where FCC Environment delivers the cleaning and maintenance services of the drinking fountains, natural fountains and ornamental fountains of the municipality, as well as the execution of the conservation and repair works. For these tasks, we have placed an emphasis on the recruitment of people with disabilities or groups with special difficulties regarding integration in the labour market.

At FCC Medio Ambiente we are working to improve energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of cities through the development and implementation of new LED lighting systems as well as advanced regulation and control systems through remote management.

• 338,000 inhabitants served

This is in line with the EU's target to increase energy efficiency by 20% by 2020, as lighting accounts for approximately 50% of urban electricity consumption.

FCC Medio Ambiente and FCC Industrial work successfully on energy efficiency tenders for different Spanish municipalities

The collaboration that is being developed between FCC Medio Ambiente and FCC Industrial regarding the presentation of bids for energy efficiency tenders in different Spanish municipalities is proving very successful. In recent months, the comprehensive public lighting services provided by both FCC Group entities in joint ventures have been developed for the municipal corporations of Vigo (Pontevedra), Gelves (Seville), Tias (Lanzarote), Lepe (Huelva) and Montroig del Campo (Tarragona). The scope of the work involves the management and maintenance of municipal electrical installations and municipal outdoor lighting. The joint global portfolio is around €47.5 million and the average execution period is 11 years.

The essential objective of all the awards achieved by FCC Environment and FCC Industrial consists of achieving a genuine energy and economic saving without reducing the safety and comfort conditions of the users. In addition, the energy savings obtained from the efficiency measures introduced allows a reduction of the carbon footprint of customers. Following the execution of these contracts, FCC Industrial and FCC Environment will have replaced more than 18,000 lights with other more energy efficient ones, which therefore benefits around 361,000 inhabitants.

FCC Medio Ambiente cleans and maintains facilities for over 7,4 million public and private users, combining technology with personnel management and promoting the labour and social inclusion of vulnerable groups through Special Employment and Training Centres, such as FCC Equal.

FCC enviro views the recovery of energy from waste as a strategic activity, since it will have a huge impact on the goal of reducing the deposits of non-recyclable material in sanitary landfills to 10% before 2035.

Currently, FCC enviro has 15 energy recovery projects in progress, with a joint capacity of over 5.3 million tons per year and the production of 546 MWe of electricity.

Maintenance of sewage systems since 1911

125 years of experience and the continued introduction of environmental and technological improvements, make us one of the pioneering and leading companies in the provision of maintenance and cleaning services of sewage networks.

Main highlights in sewer system maintenance:

• Over 4 million people served
• Maintenance of 10,000 kilometres of sewage network

• DRACMA Platform for the comprehensive management of sewage networks in Barcelona

• ARSI Project, Aerial Robot for Sewer Inspection, using drones

• Sewage and fountain service in Barcelona provided with a 100% electric fleet of more than 90 vehicles.

125  years of experience have taught FCC Medio Ambiente to understand people, to know what it represents for over 18 million people to enjoy a pleasant walk through their city.

That is why the company works on every corner of the streets, squares and avenues of the thousands of municipalities it serves, and that is why research and development of new work equipment powered by clean energy becomes especially important in the management of our activity, yet another example of the commitment represented by our vision of the future.

The cleaning of a city can be approached in many ways, services consisting of sweeping, washing or scrubbing public areas and use manual or automatic techniques or a combination of both.
