The Sorigué group, through a joint venture between its company Acsa and the company Sepisur XXI, has begun development and fencing works at a site that will be home to one of the largest barracks in Spain: the Army Logistics Base in the province of Córdoba.

The project includes earthworks, road construction, sewerage, water supply and fire-fighting facilities, electricity and lighting, landscaping, an irrigation network and security and telecommunications pre-installations.

The works will also involve a perimeter enclosure with fencing, pipelines for the security facilities, lighting and a walkway. The site occupies a total of 85 hectares of land and is located in La Rinconada industrial estate, next to the A-4 highway, 18 kilometres from the city of Córdoba.
This contract, at a value of €19,039,423.59 (exc. VAT), is the first of a series of projects for the construction of this Logistics Base that the General Directorate of Infrastructure at the Spanish Ministry of Defence will put out to tender over the coming months, for a total investment of 351 million euros.

Digitised military base

The future base shall be named ‘General de Ejército Javier Varela’ and is intended to be a national benchmark in terms of digitisation, innovation and energy efficiency. The plan is for it to also serve as a logistics hub for the European Union thanks to its design, which is intended for developing robotics and artificial intelligence.

The buildings shall be distributed across three main areas: command and control, logistics and personnel support. The centre of operations, located in the command area, will act as the brain of the facilities, with predictive planning of demands and a large room with screens for locating materials and equipment.

The logistics area will include buildings designed for software maintenance, calibration and testing, and the supply centre will include a large main warehouse with a surface area of 45,000 m². There will also be a services area, with accommodation, canteens, sports fields, a museum, a healthcare area, a school and a heliport.

A leader in infrastructure

With extensive experience in the construction of hydraulic infrastructure, as well as in public road and port works, Sorigué is a leader in the execution of technically complex projects throughout Spain.

Some of the most notable projects carried out by Sorigué in the Community of Andalusia include the extension of the Ronda Norte in Córdoba and its connection with the city’s C-31 motorway, the optimisation of the Guadalhorce and Guadalteba dams in Málaga, and the works to reinforce the surface of the A92G motorway in Granada with sustainable asphalt.
