Tracing its industrial heritage back to 1900 with the founding of Fomento de Obras y Construcciones, FCC Construcción is the dedicated infrastructure and civil engineering division of Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC Group), one of Spain’s largest multinational groups, listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange and controlled by Carlos Slim’s Inbursa/Carso group. Headquartered in Madrid, the company employs over 40,000 personnel across its civil engineering, building construction, industrial EPC, and concession entities.

In railway infrastructure, FCC Construcción has been an instrumental contractor in Spain’s nationwide high-speed rail (Alta Velocidad Española – AVE) expansion for Adif. The company has delivered major high-speed corridors connecting Madrid with Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Valladolid, and Galicia, constructing landmark viaducts and mega-tunnels. Notable achievements include the Pajares Base Tunnel beneath the Cantabrian Mountains—one of Europe’s longest and most challenging railway base tunnel systems—and the Guadarrama Tunnel.

Globally, FCC Construcción is a leader in executing massive urban transit and underground rail schemes. The company led the FAST Consortium to deliver Lines 4, 5, and 6 of the driverless Riyadh Metro in Saudi Arabia, encompassing over 72 kilometers of viaducts, tunnels, and stations. Other milestone international rail projects include the Red Line of the Doha Metro in Qatar, Toronto’s subway extensions (Scarborough Transit Connect and Ontario Line packages) in Canada, the Panama Metro (Lines 1 and 2), Bucharest Metro Line 5 in Romania, and major high-speed rail alignments across the UK and Central Europe.
