Three innovative projects in which Sorigué participates are recognised at the latest edition of Construmat
May 23, 2023
Construmat recognises the Pallars building, the hospital annexes built during COVID and the Corrochip system, all unique projects in which Sorigué was involved
The latest edition of Construmat, the leading construction sector trade fair in Spain, has selected three innovative projects in its TOP3 programme, in which Sorigué has collaborated and participated.
The projects are the sustainable wooden building containing 42 homes on Carrer de Pallars in Barcelona; the multi-purpose hospital spaces built in Catalonia during the pandemic, where Sorigué was responsible for the extension of the Germans Trias i Pujol hospital in Badalona; and the Corrochip system that warns of concrete corrosion through sensors, installed in the brine collector in the Llobregat river basin and managed by the group.
With the aim of highlighting innovation in the construction sector, Construmat has created the TOP3 programme, through which it has selected these three initiatives that have stood out for their uniqueness in the fields of sustainability, industrialisation and digitalisation.
The projects were presented as part of the programme of events taking place at the congress, which is celebrating 22nd edition from 23 to 25 May at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via exhibition centre. The focus of this year’s edition is sustainability.
Industrialised construction of a sustainable timber building
In the category of sustainability, the Pallars building was selected, a sustainable wooden residential block, with 7 floors and a rooftop, which is currently under construction by Sorigué in the Besòs i Maresme district of Barcelona.

Industrialised construction of a sustainable timber building
In the category of sustainability, the Pallars building was selected, a sustainable wooden residential block, with 7 floors and a rooftop, which is currently under construction by Sorigué in the Besòs i Maresme district of Barcelona.
The building will consist of 42 social rental housing units, promoted by the Municipal Housing Institute, in which techniques are applied to reduce the environmental impact and the execution time, with industrialised wood from sustainable forests and the use of prefabricated parts.
Expansion of hospital spaces during the pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Catalan Health Service promoted the construction of 5 temporary hospital extensions that increased the medical care capacity by 490 beds. This set of actions has been recognised in the industrialisation category.
In record time and thanks to the use of off-site and modular construction solutions, between September 2020 and February 2021, 5 new annex spaces were built in different hospitals. Among them, Sorigué executed the extension of the Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol. The company group built an I-Covid Compact module with an industrialised construction system, attached to the hospital’s premises.
High-tech sensors to prevent corrosion
The winning project in the digitalisation category was Corrochip a smart monitoring system that detects and evaluates corrosion processes in concrete structures in ports, rivers and motorways, among others.
This technology, developed by Witeklab, has been installed by Sorigué in three load-breaking towers of the Llobregat river basin brine collector, with the aim of extending their useful life, reducing maintenance costs and guaranteeing the safety of these structures for the Catalan Water Agency (ACA).
