Infrata, a dss+ company, is pleased to have supported Terminal Puerto Tartessos, a joint venture between Moeve and Exolum, on reaching Financial Close for the Muelle Sur Terminal at the Port of Huelva, Spain and looks forward to continuing to provide monitoring services throughout the construction and operational phases. The operation was structured with BBVA and Kutxabank   The project represents a significant investment in future-ready #energyinfrastructure, comprising a new 511m marine terminal with dedicated berths for both conventional fuels and biofuels, together with associated #pipelineinfrastructure connecting the facility to the La Rábida Energy Park and Exolum's storage network. Once operational, Muelle Sur will strengthen the Port of Huelva's position as a key logistics hub while supporting the growing demand for sustainable fuels, including SAF and HVO.   For any additional information, please contact Antonio Moya & Alejandra Amigo Pastore & visit the Infrata website https://lnkd.in/dtN9ySdg #MaritimeInfrastructure

A great recap of AT3 from David Castro Santos, capturing what made the forecasting community coming together in Munich so worthwhile.   Infrata's Mitchell Stirling, Managing Consultant, spoke at the conference earlier this month, presenting “Global Air Traffic Demand Elasticities: Directionality, Market Archetypes and Long-Term Forecasting Applications” to a room of airport forecasting professionals. Co-developed with David Castro Santos of Groupe ADP, the session made the case that directionality is central to understanding air travel demand: the way passengers respond to fares and market conditions is rarely symmetric across a route and treating it as if it can obscure the real drivers of growth. Built on a large panel of directed market flows, the work set out a more behaviourally grounded way to think about elasticity and its place in long-term forecasting and was designed as an update to the Intervistas/IATA work in 2007.   We appreciate the opportunity to share the platform with Groupe ADP and to take part in such an engaged set of discussions. Our thanks to the organisers, and to everyone who contributed to the conversations. #AT3 #AviationForecasting #AirTravelDemand #AirportAdvisory

From traffic data… to daily operational value For many toll road operators, the challenge is not data availability, it is to create a consistent dataset, that can be leveraged to gather useful insights, and actionable measures across a complex portfolio. We recently worked with Metropistas (Abertis) in Puerto Rico to build a tool designed for day-to-day operations. We developed a Traffic Performance Dashboard that provides daily updated, multi-level visibility - from yearly and monthly trends to detailed hourly traffic profiles, across the entire network, individual roads, and down to specific toll plazas. By consolidating multiple data sources and KPIs into one platform, it allows to: 🟢 Monitor traffic performance consistently across assets 🟢 Detect anomalies at an early stage 🟢 Strengthen traffic and revenue assurance processes 🟢 Significantly streamline and standardise internal reporting This collaboration is a strong example of how leading operators like Metropistas (Abertis) are already leveraging data to enhance #assetmanagement. It also reflects a broader shift across #infrastructure operators towards using data more efficiently in the daily operations. Thinking how this could apply to your assets? We’d be glad to discuss how similar approaches could be applied - reach out to Eva García Jiménez and Luca Benedini.

Educational and social infrastructure are the foundations of thriving communities. Congratulations to Invesis, Alheembouw NV, and lenders KBC Bank & Verzekering on reaching the second financial close of the Evara Schools Cluster project — a major milestone towards delivering a new educational campus for Sint Laurens College and KISP in Zelzate, Belgium. The Evara Schools Cluster highlights the strength of long-term collaboration and the DBFM model in delivering sustainable, high-quality and future-ready educational infrastructure. Beyond buildings, projects like this create inspiring learning environments that will support students, educators and local communities for generations. #Infrata is proud to have supported once again as Lenders’ Technical and #SustainabilityAdvisor and looks forward to continuing to provide assurance services throughout the construction and operational phases.
