Are you also one of those who likes to reflect back over the year when this festive period arrives? Thinking back on the good times, and perhaps on difficult ones too. A reflection which tends to give us a boost with which to face the challenges that the coming year will no doubt bring.

And this is precisely what we do at Ferrovial’s communications team. Every year we select some of the most highly ranked shared content. And what we conclude is that Instagram has become one of the star platforms this year. This new boost for the platform, which started with the #UrbanPeek competition held towards the end of last year, encourages us to share with you all the Instagram posts which, due both to their significance and their impact, provide a summary of the best of this great year 2017.

We also want to thank you all for following us, and for making us grow yet another year! We wish you a good festive season and a happy and prosperous 2018!

And with no further delay, here’s a summary of the year as seen on Instagram.

Ferrovial milestones for 2017 through 18 Instagram photos

??The Northern Line Extension reached a major milestone today: huge tunnel boring machine broke through at Kennington, which means that the two 3.2km tunnels from Battersea Power Station, via Nine Elms, have now been built. ? #transportoflondon #project #tunneling

On Wednesday, May 24, work was completed on the regeneration of pavement of runway 18L-36R and its associated taxiways at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas #Airport. This is the first time that #Ferrovial Agroman has faced such a challenge, since it has worked on the runway in a record time of 24 continuous hours for five consecutive days, regenerating 70,000 tonnes of flexible pavement. #Record #Madrid #Project #Construction #Barajas

Here’s a shot of the impressive I-285/SR 400 #highway project in #Atlanta, #Georgia, which is currently under reconstruction by Ferrovial Agroman. Once finished in 2020, the #infrastructure will entail new flyover ramps, collector-distributor lanes and other elements which should reduce delays for all users by 20,000 hours per day! ??? #usa #road #project

We are undertaking one of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of the #Azores: the Scut Azores highway. #Project #Highways #Green #Bridge #Portugal

Airports hardly ever sleep, and life in them is usually frantic. This means that cleaning must be carried out without inconveniencing passengers. In order to ensure that cleaning is efficient and employee safety is improved, robots and automated processes are an essential part of the system. These devices can improve efficiency and promote safe interaction with passenger flows, as they are equipped with obstacle avoidance systems. #Innovation #Project #Services #MadridBarajas #MadridAirport

Today’s #throwback takes us back to 1995, when Ferrovial acquired Agroman. This resulted in the company doubling in size and positioned us as one of Spain’s most important constructors. #throwbackthursday #tbt #tb #construction #Spain #building
