ACCIONA has been honored with the prestigious “Special Achievement in GIS (SAG)” award during the 2025 ESRI Awards ceremony held in San Diego, California. This international recognition highlights organizations that demonstrate exemplary use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology and achieve a significant impact on their operations and projects.

The distinction positions ACCIONA as the only Spanish company recognized for its global leadership in the implementation of GIS systems within the construction sector.

Leadership in Global GIS Use

The award validates ACCIONA’s strategy of integrating GIS solutions into large-scale projects across multiple geographies, including Spain, Australia, and Norway. The application of this technology goes beyond simple geolocation to become a comprehensive management and planning tool across several areas of its construction activities:

• Operational Optimization: Use of GIS for efficient management of earthmoving operations.

• Planning and Control: Application of GIS technology in traffic planning and production control.

• Social Management: Integration of geospatial data to analyze and manage the social impact of projects.

The use of GIS enables ACCIONA to transform complex data into spatial intelligence, facilitating informed decision-making while improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in infrastructure projects.
