GARCIA FAURA involved in the construction of the new cruise terminal in the Port of Barcelona
For the new infrastructure at Moll Adossat, the company will develop and install almost 4,000 square metres of curtain walling and almost 3,000 square metres of double skin with metal mesh, among other works.
GARCIA FAURA is participating in the construction of the new cruise terminal G being built at Moll Adossat in the Port of Barcelona, which is due to be operational around spring 2027.
The new terminal will result in the closure of the World Trade Center South Terminal in 2026, so the Moll Adossat will house all seven of the city’s cruise terminals, a fact agreed between the City Council and the Port of Barcelona.
Terminal G has been designed for efficient and sustainable passenger mobility, so that it can connect seamlessly with the city or with other transport systems such as the train or the airport.
The new infrastructure has also been designed with renewable energy solutions in mind, with photovoltaic panels and other installations (such as systems enabling cruise ships to connect to the electricity grid) to achieve a zero emissions balance.
Work by GARCIA FAURA
For this project, GARCIA FAURA will manufacture and install 3,800 square metres of curtain wall with large uprights to support the heights of the project (over seven metres between anchors), forming a design with opaque areas with aluminium panels and viewing areas with glass.
2,700 square metres of double skin with aluminium metal mesh will also be installed on an aluminium framework, which will be fixed to the main curtain wall façade at a 45 degree angle to the plane of the façade.
All this in a unique and singular building, for which GARCIA FAURA is carrying out important technical development work, in collaboration with the construction company Dragados and JG engineering, for Royal Caribbean.
Finally, the 1,300 square metres of mesh cladding, in this case fixed to the load-bearing iron structure to conceal the boarding areas, and the 200 square metres of glazed railings are also worthy of note.
