The most demanded urban services can be resumed as follows:
CONSERVATION OF GREEN SPACES
This concerns the execution of traditional work in green spaces to achieve
perfectly maintained conditions throughout the year.
The basic operations are as follows:
-
Regenerative pruning, fertilisation, and plant-protection treatment of the tree
species.
- Reconstruction of pits for improved benefit from water resources.
- maintenance of grass for natural grasslands.
- Watering of the parks.
- maintenance of the paths.
- Regular cleaning up of rubbish.
- Care of hedges including pruning, watering, shaping, and fertilising.
- Fumigation treatment of any plague or disease.
- Fertilisation of green spaces, with organic fertiliser at the end of winter
and mineral fertiliser at the start of spring.
- Mowing.
- Scrub clearing, spading, and hoeing.
- Grassland aeration.
- Raking.
- Replacement.
- Herbicidal treatments.
SUPPLY, LOCATION, AND maintenance OF STREET FURNITURE ITEMS
Street furniture refers to those items that are found distributed
around urban centres in streets, squares, parks, etc., with the following being
the most significant:
-Benches: supply, location, wood treatment, sanding, and painting.
-Waste bins: supply, location and repair.
-Play areas: supply, location and repair.
-Basic sports facilities: replacement, painting and repair of enclosures.
-Ornamental and drinking fountains
-Tree guards
-Signage: in parks, on statues, streets, monuments, pedestrian guardrails with
or without advertisements, enclosures on main roads and highways.
All
these operations intended for full maintenance of street furniture, are normally
carried out in situ with a number of mobile workshops having the means
necessary to undertake the most common operations.
ROAD CLEANING
This includes everything from General Cleaning or a one-off clean-up for a new
work, to cleaning for daily maintenance, with the different treatments to be
applied to the various surfaces depending on their composition. We have
standardised machines and materials to carry out any cleaning operation.
WATERING LINES
This activity can
be split into three different water-distribution systems which we will define
briefly:
a) Network project and installation through the traditional system of sprinklers
of various kinds.
b) Irrigation Network project and installation through a traditional sprinkler
system with total coverage, timer automated or manual.
c) Computer-automated watering systems project and installation with or without
a weather station.
The
first two, with traditional systems, continue to be installed either
independently or to complement each other in order to cover the possibility of
faults in the traditional sprinkler system.
The third watering system currently installed and set up in the Parque del
Retiro, the most significant park of Madrid, was as a pilot experiment in Spain,
consisting of a traditional sprinkler system regulated by a programme preset by
a computer. This system can include one or more weather stations that sense the
watering needs of each area to be watered, and alter the computer program in
accordance with these needs.
The commands can be sent from either the weather stations to the computer, or
the computer to the system control centre by telephone cable or radio waves. We
are making a diagram of the system that we are currently installing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
This activity is one that is continuously being undertaken by the company. It
has truly developed as a product in the last five years.
We should highlight the treatments carried out to consolidate the banks of the
recent main roads, reforestations, thinning and gapping of pine forests and
woodland, silvicultural systems, etc.
URBANISATION WORKS
The
purpose of these is to complete the tasks necessary for organisation,
urbanisation, and establishment of usage areas, so that once the works and
installations are complete, they are ready for operation and to provide the
required service.
