ports

The road accesses project is part of the

project of the New Containers Terminal

of the Barcelona Port.

The study compiles all the existing

information of the different works carried

out till the date and related to the

accessibility to the south extension of the

port. Once all the information was

compiled, all the future actions were

analyzed and a proposal to incorporate

them was developed. It was chosen the

solution considered the most adequate

from a technical, economic and

operational point of view.

The new roads will allow the access to

the future Tercat Terminal. Two road

junctions, connected through the Prat

Road, are designed. The section is

formed by a rail yard that provides

service to the Tercat Terminal and a 3+3

rail axis and a rail service branch line for

Decathlon.

The complexity of this project is the

execution of the different phases of the

road and rail layout, taking into account

the structures that have to be designed

to serve the future containers terminal of

the Barcelona Port.

The final purpose is the drafting of the

detailed phase 1 design of the new

accesses works to the south extension

of the Barcelona Port, in accordance

with the specifications of the existing

documents.

MARINA IN THE AREA OF ARRAJAINAL

PREVIOUS PROJECT

• Photomontage of the marina with an aerial

• Photograph of the model.

The Arraijanal Marina implies the

construction of a large complex of

residential developments, sports and

commerce buildings and hospitality

constructions in a coastal parcel of

approximately 50 Ha, close to Malaga

airport. The complex includes 1,500

homes and 200 commercial premises

associated to what will be the biggest

sport harbor of Costa del Sol, with

almost 1000 berths.

The whole complex represents a global

investment of 120.2 million euros, out of

which 24 are direct for the docks work,

the accesses creation and building

constructions, which constitute the

Esteyco designs for the project.

Some of the more complicated areas for

the design are the diversions and the

connections with the national road, due

to the proximity of the Guadalhorce

estuary, as the Marina’s groin could be a

barrier for the sediment (carried by the

river) distribution, in such a manner that

the adjacent beaches would suffer a

regression.

ESPLANADE AND SEVERAL INTERVENTIONS IN FORUM

2004, BARCELONA

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Barcelona, 2000-2002

The interventions related to the Universal

Forum of Cultures 2004 have supposed

a great reconstruction process in an

area of Barcelona which has been

derelict until recent times. The area

comprises 214 Ha, and it includes the

renovation of important urban

infrastructures, the restructuring of the

Besos Water Treatment Plant, the

creation of a new Besos marina and the

implementation of a new area of

centrality with hotels, centres for

congresses, shopping centres, offices

and dwellings. The designs took up part

of the sea by means of rectifying the

coastline. The final goal was to recover a

territory which was of little use by making

a spotlight with potential activity, due to

its excellent and strategic location, where

the most important infrastructures and

roads of the city join together.

Esteyco worked actively in several

projects related to the main area where

the acts of Forum 2004 took place: the

development of the Esplanade, the

Coastal Ring Road coverage, the Sailing

School, the Auditorium and the

Photovoltaic Pergola.

The project of development was carried out with the collaboration of the Architects Elias Torres and Jose Antonio Martinez Lapeña, and it covered an area of 90 Ha. The main characteristic was the existence of a technical floor over the cover structures of the Water Treatment Plan and the Coastal Ring Road, where a complex network of services is lodged, permitting

the maximum flexibility for its future

exploitation. Over the technical floor,

some coloured asphalt and flowerbeds

were spread, conferring the last finish to

the esplanade.

Cost of works: 18.069.906 eur.

designed by the Architect Elias Torres.

during construction.

• Images of the Forum Esplanade. The

network of services designed made

possible having intakes of water,

electricity, telecommunications and

irrigation in any point of the

esplanade.

The zoo is located in the Forum area, one

of the most architecturally developed

areas in the city. The infraestucture

required for housing the numerous

species of the new marine zoo will be

created on a 100.000 m2 platform that will

be built over the sea.

The project includes several phases; from

earthwork and deep foundation study to

the definition of all the structures.

It consists of five unique buildings with

large swimming pools where there will be

vision areas conceived as large

methacrylates and an aquatic vision tunnel

that crosses the larger tank. Platforms with

aviaries and areas for pubic use will also

be designed.

We can stand out both the singularity of

every building that will require a different

treatment and structural type, and the

large tanks that are integrated in each of

the buildins.

NEW HEADQUARTERS OF THE PORT AUTHORITY OF

BILBAO IN SANTURTZI

RECTRICTED COMPETITION OF IDEAS

Bilbao, 2003

•View at night from the Bilbao Estuary

•Section, ground floor and elevations

The proposal is based on the idea of

developing and enhancing the possible

relations that will be established between

the site and the future buildings, with

regard to their definition and distribution

on the plot and the interpretation of the

site. The characteristics of the plot were

integrated in a solution that develops a

new topography, seeking to exploit,

enhance and foster the relationship with

the environment, characterized in

general by a port and industrial

landscape that meets a border of green

mosaic descending from the hills to the

docks in what could be considered to be

the typical landscape of the estuary.

The need for the New Headquarters to

be representative and emblematic is

addressed through the introduction of an

isolated main volume, free of additions

and superfluous elements, which attains

its character through its interaction with

the site. The plot is converted into a

topography that concentrates the

relations with the environment and then

serves as a basis/framework of reference

for the building. This aims to unify and

simplify the formal reading of the

building to achieve a more conceptual

vision of greater scale, with a clear

reference to the emblematic character—

a truly differentiating feature in

comparison with the rest of the buildings

and port installations in the vicinity.
