    Construction of Fortaleza Metro in Brazil, construction of a 10 km of double track railway line with tunneling between Sandbukta and Såstad in Norway, construction of Line 6 of São Paulo in Brazil, construction of Tunnel of Mularroya in Zaragoza in Spain, construction of Copenhagen Metro's Sydhavn M4 line in Denmark, Tunnel Line 1 of the Quito Metro in Equator.

    What do these tunneling works have in common? These are just a few of the projects that Spain's ACTYON has contributed in one way or another with their tunneling expertise. If you ever pass through the small Galician town of A  Rúa (population 4359), you would not think this remote town (almost a 5 hour-drive to Madrid) would host the headquarters of a company with worldwide projects from Europe, North America to South America.

    For a company set up only in 2007, ACTYON has had an exponential expansion having been involved many prestigious tunneling projects, having set up subsidiaries in Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Equator, Panama, Norway and Denmark.

    It is a tunnel specialist company which 'along with its associated companies, focuses its activity on the supply of labor in projects of TBMs. As a complement, offering services in conventional tunnels, being able to provide qualified personnel and specific machinery for these projects'.

    Basically, ACTYON is chosen as the trusted tunnel-specialist partner by the big contractors who got awarded tunnel construction projects. ACTYON supplies the likes of Acciona,  Ghella, Sacyr etc with highly specialized personnel and equipment, as well as running tunnel segment factories.

    ACTYON is a solid example of the fact that specialization always triumphs no matter what. After all, those big construction companies like Acciona have got big by picking the best wherever they can find it...

    This is their website. I have no affiliation with ACTYON.
