Hospital del Vendrell

As the initial phase of the expansion works of Hospital del Vendrell, in the province of Tarragona, a preparatory intervention was carried out consisting of earthworks on a site located very close to the existing hospital complex.

The intervention consisted of lowering the ground level and extracting 40,000 m³ of rock. Material management was carried out using a temporary crushing and screening plant installed on site, enabling the reuse of more than 90% of the excavated material in situ, including the reuse of aggregates. Precision topographic control systems using 3D scanning and BIM models were applied, together with collaborative methodologies to ensure improved coordination between teams.

We have brought to fruition

Ground lowering with the extraction of 40,000 m³ of rock

We carried out a highly complex earthworks operation, achieving ground lowering and the extraction of a large volume of rock in an efficient and controlled manner. This intervention was essential for preparing the site and ensuring the development of the subsequent phases of the hospital project.

We have made possible

Reuse and sustainable management of excavation materials

We adopted a circular material management strategy, using a temporary on-site treatment plant that enabled the crushing, classification and reuse more than 90% of the excavated material. This approach minimised waste, reduced external transport and carbon footprint, and integrated best environmental practices throughout the execution of the works.

We’ve worked with dedication

For a safe and precise excavation carried out by a cross-disciplinary team

The works were carried out by a multidisciplinary team of 20 people, including engineers, surveyors, site managers and specialised operators in earthworks, concrete and slope stabilisation, all working collaboratively. Precision compaction and topographic control techniques were applied using 3D scanning and BIM-based digital terrain models to optimise earthwork volumes and reduce quantity deviations.
