Let's travel back in time, about 100 years, to the state of Texas. Today, five of the most populated cities in the United States are here, but in the early 20th century, it was a small rural community connected by dirt paths. The arrival of industrialization completely transformed the area, especially two communities, the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.Transportation advancements contributed to its rapid expansion, with one critical network: highways. However, there came a point when the development of the road network and population growth became uncoordinated. This presented a challenge: How can we create a future transportation network that supports sustainable population and economic growth?The mission was clear: designing a project to enhance urban mobility while tackling congestion and traffic jams. But the challenge was anything but simple, as we had to accommodate over 13 million vehicles on the roads. Our team started looking for a real-time solution that wouldn't take years to implement, and that's when the concept of Managed Lanes was born.This groundbreaking system introduces additional lanes with advanced technology that analyzes traffic patterns and creates a pricing strategy tailored to demand. By offering drivers the choice to use these lanes, we reduce traffic and revolutionize how people move around.In this episode, join Jose Espinosa, CEO of Texpress Lanes, and María Chávez, sustainability manager at Cintra, the highways subsidiary of Ferrovial, as they dive deep into the workings of this innovative system. Discover how the LBJ Express, NTE, and NTE 35W set the standard for sustainable mobility in Texas.Sounds of Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Yes We Cast.

Have you ever dreamt of flying? This dream is quite common. Humans have always been fascinated by the skies, and our quest to conquer them dates back to the Spain of Al-Ándalus. Amazing, isn’t it?  In the 9th century, the Andalusian scientist Abbás Ibn Firnás decided he wanted to fly. After a few crashes, he created a prototype that was able to glide for a few seconds. Interestingly, this device also became the world's first parachute when he attempted to land.  Fast forward to the past century, the Wright Brothers made history by creating the first airplane. With this achievement, the aviation industry took off, leading to the creation of the first airports.  Today, airports have become global hubs, connecting the world through the skies. This transformation has been driven by continuous innovation and adaptation to meet new user needs and security requirements.  Our colleagues from Ferrovial's Airports subsidiary, Víctor Vicente, Asset Manager; Laura López Sotomayor, Financial Director; and Ismael Ordoñez, Head of Asset Management, share insights on how airports have evolved into the infrastructures we know today. Furthermore, what can we expect from the future of aviation? Tune in to this episode and join us in a guessing game about how the horizon might look the next time we take a plane.   Hosted on Acast.

London is one of the main metropolitan areas of the world. If you think about the English capital, you can probably name ten iconic things off the top of your head. Shakespeare, Abbey Road, Buckingham Palace, Sherlock Holmes. A city that's buzzing with music and theater, in constant movement.The London metro system, or the "tube" as Londoners call it, is a symbol of the city's vitality. It's not just a network of tunnels and trains but a testament to the city's evolution. From its small beginning to the complex system, it is today, a lot of history and effort has gone into making it what it is.The Tube, the world's first underground railway, has a rich history that dates back to the construction of the Metropolitan Railway, the first metro line, inaugurated on January 10th, 1863. Today, the system boasts 275 stations organized on 11 lines, a far cry from its humble beginnings.Today, the London underground has grown and evolved alongside the city. In this episode, we delve into London's history and the Tube's evolution, culminating in the Northern Line Extension. Carlota Guiu Morros and David Drake Sloan, who spearheaded this project, share the challenges and necessities of constructing one of London's largest redevelopments in 300 years.

We have always been struck by the incredible height of skyscrapers. Do you know how tall the tallest building in the world is? The current record is 2,717 feet, over half a mile. Nonetheless, we are sure that somewhere in the world, an even taller one is already being planned. Have you ever wondered how tall they are downwards? How many feet would they have had to build underground, to support such a height above? And how is the tallest building in the world built? In this episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure, we dive, or rather climb, to the tallest building in the world. We want to discover what it takes to build a skyscraper and how they have evolved throughout history. We are joined by Eduardo Ortega, head of the architecture department within the technical management of Ferrovial Construction, Benjamín Juárez, Director of safety, health and wellbeing at Ferrovial, and Jorge Iglesis, architect and professor at the University of Chile.

In 1765 the Scotsman James Watt invented the steam engine. In 4500 BC, humans from way back then invented the wheel. More than six thousand years of difference between one invention and the other, but both completely transformed society at the time and all that was to come. On a smaller scale, construction, engineering and architecture evolve thanks to the accumulation of experience and the arrival of new technologies that drive change. In this episode of Sounds of Infrastructure, we delve into how innovation has pushed the wheel of evolution to keep turning: sustainability, digital development, new forms of construction worldwide... Various examples of how human beings keep reinventing themselves and guarantee progress. Sounds of Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Yes We Cast.

On a warm August night in 1790, Madrid’s Plaza Mayor was home to one of the worst fires the city had ever seen. Over the course of nine days, the fire not only burned most of the square, but also wreaked havoc outside of it too. After the fire was finally put out, the king commissioned the architect Juan de Villanueva to rebuild the square. His task? To make sure it never burned down again. On this episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure we tell you the story behind Madrid’s most famous square and the work Ferrovial took on to bring the square back to its former glory. Sounds Like Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Veleta Media.

Diversity and inclusion are terms we’ve been hearing a lot more of recently. But although their definitions are pretty straightforward, we don’t always know exactly what they mean when it comes to their use in the world of business. To help celebrate International Women’s Day, we’ve decided to dig a little deeper into what these two words mean. We talk to Webber’s Chelsea Russo about her experiences working in often male dominated fields, and how that has influenced her perception of diversity in different companies and her day to day work. We also chat about the Women of Webber program and ask whether enough is being done to push diversity and inclusion in workforces across the globe. Sounds Like Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Veleta Media.

The bridge that we see today is not the bridge that chief engineer Joseph Strauss had in mind when he first pitched his idea for the Golden Gate. His 1921 design was big and clunky. Like one of those old metal railway bridges you see in the movies. Not something that would fit in with the surroundings of the San Francisco Bay. But Strauss had designed his bridge (a mix of a cantilever and suspension bridge) like this for one reason: No suspension bridge had ever spanned a gap as big as the Golden Gate before. It would take over 10 years of planning, hundreds of sketches and an almost complete redesign, but the bridge many people said would be impossible to build, was about to be built. On this episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure, we go beyond the iconic image of the Golden Gate bridge and ask ‘how did they actually build it?’. We talk to Luis Martín Tereso, one of Ferrovail’s most experienced bridge engineers, and to the author Henry Petroski, to find out how a suspension bridge actually works, how construction workers battled with the elements of the San Francisco bay, and how Strauss used pioneering safety and construction methods to pull it all off.  Sounds Like Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Veleta Media.

Of all of the buzzwords to come out of the tech world over the last 20 years, there’s one in particular that’s really stuck around. IOT: The Internet of Things. Although you’ve probably heard of it, it’s a technology that never really got the red carpet treatment. And yet these days, it seems to be everywhere you look. Now, Ferrovial is working on a new project to turn its highways into connected highways, using a variety of different sensors and the internet of things. On this episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure, we take a look at the pilot tests Ferrovial is working on right now, and find out how the system will automatically share information like traffic conditions, incidents and potential hazards with drivers on the highway, in real time. We find out what the connected highway will look like in the world of autonomous vehicles and ask how marketing will work in the world of autonomous and connected vehicles. Sounds Like Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Veleta Media.

The Caixaforum Madrid is a building that makes you stop for one reason: it looks like it’s floating. Even after staring at it for a couple of minutes, it’s difficult to figure out. There are so many design decisions that just don’t seem to make sense. And that’s exactly what makes it beautiful.On this episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure, we see how Ferrovial took the iconic Herzog and De Meuron design and made it happen. The team would need to make this old industrial power station five times its original size and completely re-engineer the structural integrity of the building. And this design, paired with a 460 square metre vertical garden, would become one of Madrid’s most photographed buildings and one of Ferrovial’s most iconic projects.Sounds Like Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Veleta Media.

In 2013, a whitepaper that aimed to revolutionise transport appeared on the internet. The paper had been published by Elon Musk, who had sat down with some SpaceX and Tesla engineers to flesh out the idea for what they called Hyperloop. People thought the whitepaper would come with the news that Musk was launching a new company. But surprisingly, it didn’t. Instead, he made the idea and research open source. By doing that, he had left a tantalising engineering challenge.Almost a decade after the publication of Musk’s paper, Ferrovial are collaborating with Hyperloop TT, a company aiming to have passengers in pods in a 3-5km tube in the next three years. On this episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure we look at the technology behind Hyperloop, what it means for the train and plane, and ask what benefits Hyperloop could bring to our cities in the form of social equality. We also find out what happened in the 1840’s when a system that uses some of the same technology as Hyperloop was brought into service. Spoiler alert, it didn’t go well… Sounds like Infrastructure is a podcast produced by Ferrovial.

Here is a question that you’ve probably asked yourself: is it possible to have a road where there is little to no congestion? A road where cars don’t get stuck in traffic? In 2008, Ferrovial and Cintra asked themselves that same question as they were about to build a new stretch of highway in Dallas that would aim to solve this problem. The answer? To dynamically price the road. In this episode, we are looking at where dynamic pricing came from and why it’s cropping out in so many areas of the economy. We look at how one decision in the airline industry set the whole dynamic pricing ball in motion, what dynamic pricing on a highway actually looks like and how the concept of the price tag came about. This episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure was produced by Craig Lawless and Kevin Garcia King.

In this episode we take a look at two stories related to explosives and infrastructure. One for destruction, the other for construction. At the beginning of the second World War, the Swiss found themselves surrounded by fighting in Europe. Although they had been officially neutral for more than 100 years, the military weren’t convinced the Germans wouldn’t invade. To help deter an invasion, they came up with a strategy of defense that included placing more than 3,000 demolition points on different bridges and tunnels across the country. Fast forward to today and explosives are still being used in our infrastructure. But instead of preventing an invasion, they're now being used as a form of innovation to make construction processes much more efficient.After a number of fatal rockfalls on a notoriously dangerous stretch of road in the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, the local community petitioned the government to connect the ring road that was being built around the island to the towns of El Risco and La Aldea. The decision was made to construct more than 8km of bridges and tunnels, and working in this difficult landscape under strict regulations brought about an innovation that had never been seen before in civil works in Spain: the team would be manufacturing their own explosives on-site. This episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure was produced by Craig Lawless and Kevin Garcia King.

Between 1799 and 1843 there were three attempts to tunnel under London’s river Thames. But only one was successful, and it would use an invention so simple yet genius that even today’s tunnels are built using an adaptation of it. The idea? Mark Brunel’s tunneling shield.  We take a look at how the first underground tunnels were built, the questionable health and safety involved in their construction, and how one American financier and ex-convict created the modern underground as we know it.  We’re also in London to see how Ferrovial Construction are building the latest addition to London’s underground network: the Northern Line Extension.  This episode of Sounds Like Infrastructure was produced by Craig Lawless and Nicholas Hewson.
