Introduction
When the 22@Barcelona plan was approved, the infrastructure network in the Poblenou industrial area was clearly insufficient. For this reason, the project created a new Special Infrastructure Plan for urban improvements on 37 kms of streets in the 22@Barcelona district with highly competitive utility infrastructures.
Reason to Be Selected
The Infrastructure Plan brings investments of more than 200 million euros in a new model of urbanization and underground infrastructures: a modern network of energy, telecommunications, district heating and pneumatic waste collection systems. The design of these new networks gives priority to energy efficiency and responsible management of natural resources.
system of underground service galleries
One of the improvements in urban services brought by the new Infrastructure Plan is a system of underground service galleries interconnecting the blocks. From the departure points of the system (central stations of the system, such as power stations, pneumatic waste collection plants or stations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning) the core network distributes all these services throughout the district. From there, service galleries cross the core network taking the services to a technical room in each block from where services are distributed to the different buildings in the block.
fibre-optic telecommunications networks
These underground galleries enable service networks to be repaired or improved
without street excavation (saving time, money and annoyances to neighbours) and an easy installation of fibre-optic telecommunications networks, electricity network, district heating and pneumatic waste collection systems.
new electricity network
Additionally, the new infrastructures plan also includes a new electricity network which guarantees a quality electrical supply with five times more power than the current network, and more powerful and efficient gas and water-service supplies.
