ACCIONA unveils Atlas to drive safer, greener construction

ACCIONA, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure, has unveiled a new digital platform designed to transform the way construction projects are managed worldwide. The system, known as Atlas, integrates multiple digital tools into a single platform to enhance efficiency, safety and sustainability across a wide range of infrastructure developments.

The launch reflects ACCIONA’s ongoing commitment to support the ambitious development and sustainability agendas of the Middle East, where governments are increasingly embracing digitalisation and green technologies to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects.

Atlas brings together data monitoring, automation and real-time analytics to optimise project performance. Its user-friendly design allows project teams to monitor, control and manage construction activities seamlessly.

The platform has been designed with versatility in mind. Whether applied to roads, highways, tunnels, railways, metros, ports or buildings, Atlas can be customised to the specific needs of each project. Its modular, scalable structure enables clients to choose from a wide range of applications including tunnel boring machine (TBM) data management, geotechnical monitoring, asset tracking, concrete traceability and earthwork production tracking.

Beyond performance optimisation, Atlas strengthens workplace safety. The platform incorporates air quality monitoring, emergency alerts, video surveillance and worker location tracking in real time, giving project managers the ability to identify hazards quickly and respond effectively.

Sustainability is also at the core of the system. In line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy, Atlas integrates environmental monitoring tools to track both real-time and historical data, helping to reduce environmental impacts and support decarbonisation initiatives. Fully digitalised concrete production improves compliance, lowers emissions and enhances traceability across the supply chain. Automated inventory and maintenance management tools further reduce waste and improve operational efficiency.

While Atlas is a new launch for the Middle East, the platform has already been successfully deployed on major international projects. In the United States, it supports the Fargo-Moorhead Flood Diversion project – one of the country’s largest infrastructure undertakings – with fleet and fuel management systems designed to cut carbon emissions.

In Brazil, Atlas is being used on the São Paulo Metro Line 6 to improve TBM operations and instrumentation monitoring. The system has also been applied to a reservoir project in Chile and the S19 road tunnel in Poland, where it has optimised asset tracking and strengthened safety systems.

Supporting Middle East transformation

By bringing its global expertise and proven technologies to the Middle East, ACCIONA aims to accelerate the region’s digital transformation in construction. Atlas provides a powerful solution for governments and developers looking to balance rapid urbanisation with sustainable practices, while also ensuring worker safety and operational excellence.

With its focus on integration, adaptability and environmental responsibility, Atlas marks a step forward in how infrastructure is delivered – smarter, safer and more sustainable.
