Annual Report of ACS Group - Grupo ACS

Internationalisation
The Construction area’s international exposure grew 75% in 2009 in
comparison to 2008 to total €1,427 million and it now represents 23.3% of
total turnover. On the other hand, the order book in the international area
totals €4,260 million, representing 37.3% of the total. This growth is the
result of an expansion strategy based on the development of concessions in
new reference markets and the application of our local presence in tendering
and construction of civil works projects with a high level of technical
involvement.
The Construction area is carrying out projects in such diverse countries
as Poland, Portugal, Greece and Ireland in Europe and is present in both
hemispheres in America: in Chile and Argentina in the southern hemisphere
and in Canada and the United States in the north.
Some important international projects in which the ACS Group is
participating are: the execution of works such as the Central Greece
Motorway and the Ionia Odos Motorway in Greece, the combined budget for
which is €2,700 million; the expansion of the A-30 motorway in southern
Montreal, Canada; the reconstruction of carriageway and restoration of the
I-595 in Florida in the United States; and projects in the New York subway
with a budget of over 1,800 million. In addition, ACS has been selected to
take part in the construction of the first stretch of the high-speed line in
Portugal (the stretch between Poceira and Caia) the budget for which is
approximately €1,700 million.
