The construction area of the FCC Group increased its income during the first nine months of 2024, by 4.4% to reach 2,137.8 million euros, a growth based on the development of industrial projects (renewable energy plants and gas), as well as the positive execution of the road and railway projects that the area builds in the different countries where it carries out its activity.
In Spain, turnover increased by 7.3%, to 878.1 million euros, with greater activity in industrial projects (especially in the development of solar installations, such as those of Guillena and Tagus 380). In Europe, turnover grew by 29.9% to 614.9 million euros, supported by progress on the A-465 motorways in the United Kingdom, the A-9 in the Netherlands and the Sotra Bridge project in Norway. In the Middle East and Australia, the area has increased revenues by 59.5% to €192 million, driven largely by the NEOM railway line in Saudi Arabia and the Riyadh Metro.
