FCC to handle harbour construction in Cuyutlán, Mexico
The Office of the Secretary of Communications and Transport of the Central Mexican Government has awarded FCC a contract for harbour construction in Cuyutlán, Manzanillo, in the state of Colima, Mexico, for 22 million euro. The job has a 26-month completion period.
The work consists in building two 350-metre-long jetties. The core of each jetty is made of quarry run and covered by a layer of riprap and concrete blocks.
Manzanillo Harbour is a natural entry and departure point for goods shipments. Its area of influence spans 16 states, which together account for 64% of the GDP.
