Project challenges

In the blistering summer of 2019, our Spanish worksite endured unprecedented heat. To safeguard our team’s well-being and maintain productivity, we adopted a revised schedule, starting work early and concluding before the heat intensified. Mornings were dedicated to structural tasks, with shaded areas utilized for module work, ensuring efficiency while minimizing heat exposure.

Amid scorching temperatures reaching up to 48 degrees Celsius in the shade, we prioritized our team’s comfort and health. Shaded break areas were established on-site, offering respite from the heat. Furthermore, a nutritionist tailored specialized diet plans to provide the energy needed for optimal performance in such extreme conditions.

Maintaining productivity in extreme heat

The power plant was constructed on schedule, showcasing impeccable coordination among all on-site teams. Despite the challenging working conditions, our team completed the project on time, setting installation records. Achieving a remarkable milestone, we consistently installed over 2 MW per day, showcasing our dedication and efficiency.

Timely delivery and remarkable performance

The project is part of a very large pipeline of projects built in the Aragon area, in the vicinity of Zaragoza. Our team began working at the site in early May and completed the job flawlessly by early August.
