MIGUEL JURADO VISITS THE ABRERA COLLECTOR WORKS AS AREMA EXPERIENCES A PERIOD OF INTENSE ACTIVITY

November, 2026

Last Friday, Miguel Jurado, CEO of Grupo Rubau, visited the Abrera collector works (Barcelona), a project being carried out by AREMA, a Group company specialising in integrated water cycle solutions. The project is being promoted by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), which will invest €1.7 million in the works.

During the visit, Miguel Jurado was able to see first-hand the progress of the works, which are essential for optimising the local water network, as well as the main technical aspects of the project and the challenges faced by the site team. He was accompanied by Sergio Pepió, Director of AREMA; Pere Peya, Group Manager; Juan Stagnaro, Production Manager; and Miguel Sánchez, Site Foreman, with whom he discussed the project’s progress and ongoing activities.

The visit comes at a time of intense activity for AREMA, which currently has a significant portfolio of projects underway across different areas of the integrated water cycle, ranging from water supply and sanitation infrastructure to water treatment and reuse facilities.

A diverse and growing project portfolio

Among the main projects currently being carried out by AREMA are:

• Ter Drinking Water Treatment Plant (Girona): improvement project at Catalonia’s largest drinking water treatment plant, for ATL, as part of a joint venture with Construcciones Rubau, Ferrovial and Cadagua.
• L’Ampolla Drinking Water Treatment Plant (Tarragona): improvement of the dosing, mixing and control systems for reagents used in coagulation and flocculation processes, for the Consorci d’Aigües de Tarragona (CAT), in a joint venture with Vilor.
• Castelldefels Interceptor (Barcelona): construction of a new pressurised pipeline for Agbar, in a joint venture with Veolia Infraestructuras.
• Bonmont Golf Course (Mont-roig del Camp, Tarragona): construction of a tertiary water treatment and pumping system for ARUMGROUP.
• Ripoll Drinking Water Treatment Plant (Girona): works currently nearing completion for SOMASRSA.
• Reus Drinking Water Treatment Plant (Tarragona): commissioning of a nutrient removal system for Aigües de Reus.
• Llers Collectors (Girona): construction of new sewerage pipelines for the Agència Catalana de l’Aigua (ACA).

The diversity of these projects reflects AREMA’s technical capabilities in delivering projects of varying scope and complexity, working with public administrations and organisations as well as private operators and clients.

This high level of activity strengthens AREMA’s position as one of the Group’s specialised companies and highlights the growing importance of the water and environmental business within Rubau’s diversification strategy.

Behind each of these projects are the technical expertise, dedication and commitment of our professionals, whose daily work is essential to consolidating this business area and successfully taking on new challenges.
