FCC is working on the completion of the PRECOIL R+D project, new smart collective prevention systems in dynamic linear infrastructure environments, co-financed by the Ministry of Economics and Competitiveness and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) via INNPACTO 2011.

The basic project goal was to develop an environment in which devices and applications may be integrated that allow significant improvement of railway and highway construction work personnel safety, establishing a new framework for smart collective protection system deployment.

Sensors, such as accelerometers, distance and positioning meters are fitted to personnel and other types of sensors are fitted to machinery, creating an environment that is managed from a monitoring platform that permits work on the improvement of personnel safety and thus prevent accidents.

Isolux, CARTIF, GEOCISA, AITEMIN and the Madrid Polytechnic University are also participating in the PRECOIL project.

This project is framed within the innovation policy being backed by Grupo FCC. FCC Construcción is participating in the technological elements of the most significant works by preparing its own R+D+i projects and those for improving construction procedures which, in combination with support from available auxiliary equipment, materials and means, will enable you to provide your clients with a range of your own technical solutions that will involve a differentiating factor in the overall sector. In 2013, 9.11 million Euros were invested in R+D+i projects.
