One hundred kilos of dynamite and a record-breaking performance: this is the blasting that will enable the Huerna bypass. Perforaciones Noroeste is behind most of the blasting projects performed in our country and will be in charge of carrying out this emergency work which will require ‘80 holes of between three and six metres’. Work will continue on the Huerna motorway to temporarily set up a bypass with a single lane in each direction to allow vehicles and lorries to circulate on the AP-66.

Perforaciones Noroeste has begun the works of slope stabilisation for ASCH and Grupo Terratest (UTE Pantalla 1). Deadline for the execution of the work is 12 months.
