The environment, which takes centre stage on this autumn\u2019s cover, increasingly influences our projects and activities in Spain and around the world. With the support of Ineco, Ecuador\u2019s capital Quito has launched initiatives to reduce waste and foster a circular economy of resources<\/a>; this will without a doubt translate into improved welfare and quality of life for the city\u2019s inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Public policy is key in the move towards more sustainable cities. We are honoured with the opinion of Mar\u00eda Ver\u00f3nica Arias Cabanilla<\/a>, Environment secretary for the Municipality of Quito, the highest authority for environmental policy in the Ecuadorian capital. The city\u2019s environmental policy includes the \u2018Cero Basura\u2019 programme, based on the integrated management of resources; this is an ambitious project in which Ineco was responsible for the Master Plan for Comprehensive Waste Management and its legal framework. This coincides with Quito\u2019s selection by the UN to host the Habitat III Sustainable Cities Conference in October 2016. In addition to this, as Ver\u00f3nica Arias points out in her interview, Quito is Ecuador\u2019s most sustainable city and one of the 17 finalists for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) award for the world\u2019s most sustainable city.<\/p>\n

Optimal management of an environmental resource such as the sky is another area of interest that we will address in these pages. Specifically, we have a report dedicated to ENAIRE\u2019s significant technical efforts and investment to guarantee air safety with the highest levels of efficiency. The high concentration of flights in Europe requires a complex new automated air traffic control system: SACTA<\/a> (so-called for its initials in Spanish) is a series of systems and equipment which ENAIRE is investing over 16 million euros to renovate. Ineco engineers, who are collaborating in the project, offer us a detailed description of the function of these services and what they bring us.<\/p>\n

Public policy is key in the necessary move towards more sustainable cities<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also worth highlighting is Ineco\u2019s more than 20 years of experience in supervising the manufacture of trains. This issue features an in-depth article on rolling stock design validation, supervision and testing<\/a>, particularly in Spain, Chile, Brazil and Colombia, where we have recently renewed our contract.<\/p>\n

Finally, I am proud to present the new modernisation project at Chiclayo airport<\/a> in Peru, where a new terminal is being designed. This large aeronautical project will complement our existing project at Lima\u2019s Jorge Ch\u00e1vez airport. These are big jobs and big challenges in a globalised world where we want to demonstrate the skills and capabilities of Spanish engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
