The Halo footbridge and elevator tower received yesterday the Architecture Master prize award in Transportation Category Best of Best, in the awards Gala event celebrated in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The award was received by the authors Miguel Sacristán Montesinos , Alexandre Mouriño and José Carlos Nunes. It is an honor and a privilege for this piece of architecture and engineering to be recognised internationally among many other relevant projects. Thanks also and congratulations to the Client Concello de Vigo, Contractor UTE Halo Vigo formed by Ferrovial and Oreco Balgon, and to the team responsible for the project and site supervision formed by Arenas & Asociados, Ingeniería de Diseño , AM2 arquitectos and NOARQ .

Parallèlement à mon travail de commande, il m'arrive de parcourir quelques kilomètres pour photographier des projets que je trouve remarquables... En préparant un voyage qui devait m'emmener à Porto, je découvre le projet "Halo"et décide de faire un détour par Vigo, en Espagne. Halo est une initiative architecturale majeure intégrée dans le programme "Vigo Vertical," visant à relever les défis posés par la topographie escarpée de la ville. Le terrain vallonné de Vigo limite les déplacements piétons entre quartiers, rendant nécessaire un aménagement urbain capable de surmonter les différences de niveau. Conçu par NOARQ , AM2 Arquitectos et Arenas & Asociados, Ingeniería de Diseño, Halo permet de relier la gare de Vigo au quartier García Barbón grâce à une tour d'ascenseur de 40 mètres de hauteur et une passerelle circulaire suspendue, traversant une autoroute à six voies... C'est un plaisir de partager ces images extraites du reportage... #halo #vigo #spain #architecture 🇬🇧 Alongside my commissioned work, I occasionally travel a few kilometers to photograph projects I find remarkable. While planning a trip to Porto, I came across the "Halo" project and decided to make a detour to Vigo, Spain. Halo is a major architectural initiative integrated into the "Vigo Vertical" program, designed to address the challenges posed by the city's steep topography. Vigo's hilly terrain limits pedestrian movement between neighborhoods, necessitating urban planning solutions to overcome the differences in elevation. Designed by Noarq, AM2 Arquitectos, and Arenas & Asociados, Halo connects Vigo’s train station to the García Barbón neighborhood via a 40-meter-high elevator tower and a circular suspended walkway that crosses a six-lane highway... It’s a pleasure to share these images from the series !

On day two of Duplex Week, we're heading to the heart of Rioja, Spain. 🇪🇸 The Haro footbridge connects the town's historic center with its Wine Cellar district, creating an easy journey for tourists from around the world to visit the many wine bars, bodegas, and vineyards renowned for the world-famous Rioja wine. The bridge design, created by Arenas & Asociados, Ingeniería de Diseño was inspired by a wine barrel stave - but the use of our duplex-grade forta stainless steel creates a durable, visually appealing look that will last for generations.

This week, our Technical Director, Guillermo Capellan, and Project Manager Alejandro Godoy, attended the IABSE - International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering Awards Gala in Zurich (Switzerland), where the Bolintxu viaducts were considered as winners in the “Innovation in Construction” category, of the IABSE Project and Technology Awards 2024. Bolintxu rises as an example of innovation, environmental integration and respectful construction procedure. We must thank the organizers and the jury for this special recognition and an amazing evening. The quality of the highlighted projects was just outstanding, and we hereby express our sincere congratulations to all the other winners and finalists. And finally, we also have to say a big THANK YOU to everybody involved in the project and construction of the Bolintxu viaducts. A difficult challenge that has become a reality because of the endeavor of the following companies: - Owner: Interbiak Bizkaiko Hegoaldeko Akzesibilitatea, S.A. - Contractor: CJV PAGABIDEA (Excavaciones Cantabricas S.A., GAIMAZ, INFRAESTRUCTURAS Y SERVICIOS SA, Geotunel, S.L., CAMPEZO Obras y Servicios) - Design and construction engineering: Arenas & Asociados, Ingeniería de Diseño - Site supervision and management: UTE Hegoalde II (IDOM Consulting, Engineering, Architecture, Ingeniería FULCRUM, DAIR Engineering & Consulting) - Steel structure: GOROS SCoop | Construcciones metálicas - Heavy lifting rotation operation: Mammoet - Structural monitoring: TEKNES INNOVACION SL

Expresamos nuestro sincero agradecimiento al Ing. José Luis Pando Anta por su participación y felicitaciones por su destacada Exposición en el XXI Congreso Internacional de Infraestructura Vial & EXPO Vial y Transporte, (Lima, 16-17 agosto 2024). En su presentación tuvo valiosos aportes, que contribuyen positivamente al desarrollo de la infraestructura vial y el transporte. * Ver Fotos de Exposición https://lnkd.in/enhVDRr9 * Ver Fotos del Evento https://lnkd.in/eG2H_tFh ¡Gracias nuevamente! y nos vemos en el XXII-VIAL (Lima 22-23 agosto 2025) 🎉 #ICG, #ArenasyAsociados, #congreso, #ingenierocivil, #arquitecto, #materiales, #diseño, #construcción, #pavimento, #asfalto, #concreto, #seguridad, #vial , #señalizacion, #transito, #carreteras, #infraestructura, #mantenimiento, #expo, #gestión, #concesiones, #urbano, #transporte, #obras, #congreso, #internacional, #peru, #lima 

Congratulations to all our team in Peru. Arenas & Asociados, Ingeniería de Diseño received this Achievement award in recognition to its contribution to the development of the road infrastructure and transportation in Peru, during the XXI Vial 2024 Congress in Lima. A conference on the Ashaninca cable stayed bridge was presented by our country manager José Luis Pando. This multiple span cable stayed bridge with 270 m spans is ready for construction and it is announced for tender within the year. We are very proud to contribute to the development of the road infrastructure in the regions away from the capital.

Thrilled to share this interview! 🎙️🎙️🎙️ Thanks Nikola Tošić and fib – International Federation for Structural Concrete – Fédération Internationale du Béton for hosting it!

Last week, Prof. Walter Kaufmann attended the summer party of Arenas & Asociados, Ingeniería de Diseño in Santander, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year.    In a way, this was a return to his roots, as he had worked as project manager and technical director for Arenas & Asociados during the first years after Juan José Arenas had founded the company back in 1999. Hence, a photo with the colleagues who are still with Arenas & Asociados  (and actually running the company today) was a must.   A great thank you to the entire team of Arenas & Asociados for a memorable event!

Last week, our colleagues Guillermo Capellan and Alejandro Godoy attended the International Bridge Conference® in San Antonio (TX, USA), where the Bolintxu viaducts were granted the Gustav Lindenthal Medal. We hereby thank the organizers for an outstanding event. Congratulations to everybody involved in the project and its construction! Owner: Interbiak Bizkaiko Hegoaldeko Akzesibilitatea, S.A.
