Among the works performed by Isolux Corsan, we would highlight the execution of six railway crossings, four viaducts, 24 underpasses and 36 bridges (three of which longer than 60 metres).

The concession project for the operation of the NH-6 highway was awarded to the joint venture Corsan-Corviam Construcción- SOMA ENTERPRISE LIMITED, split evenly between the two companies. The total project budget was 270 million euro.
