Eiffage<\/a> is reinforcing its position as a key player in major infrastructure projects and international events through its involvement in the construction of the new F1 circuit in Madrid, as well as the extension of Halls 1 and 2 at IFEMA Madrid<\/strong>, which will house the new Pit Building area for the 2026 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix to be held in Madrid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

The project is currently progressing through various execution and transformation phases across the IFEMA<\/a> Madrid and Valdebebas site, as it prepares to host one of the major international fixtures on the sporting calendar.<\/p>\n\n

The construction of the circuit is being carried out by a joint venture comprising Acciona<\/a> and Eiffage Construcci\u00f3n<\/a>, while the extension of Halls 1 and 2 at the exhibition centre is being undertaken by Eiffage Construcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n

In the words of Jos\u00e9 Manuel Mart\u00ednez, CEO of Eiffage Energ\u00eda Sistemas and Country Manager for Eiffage in Spain and Portugal<\/a>: \u201cThe Eiffage Group\u2019s involvement in the construction of the new Formula 1 circuit (Madring) reflects the value of our internal collaboration. Combining Eiffage Construcci\u00f3n and Eiffage Energ\u00eda Sistemas enables us to deliver end-to-end solutions for highly complex infrastructure, bringing innovation, efficiency, and safety to a project that will place Madrid among the leading international benchmarks<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Scope of works at the IFEMA halls<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3>\n\n

The scope of works includes the construction of two new buildings to extend the existing halls, alongside the installation of temporary structures to house team garages, logistics facilities, and VIP areas during the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix. <\/p>\n\n

Once the race has concluded, the temporary installations will be dismantled, and the expanded halls will serve as permanent additions to the exhibition centre. <\/p>\n\n

Topography and project tracking using drones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

To maintain a continuous, precise, and up-to-date overview of construction progress, our drone team is carrying out a weekly topographical survey programme across the IFEMA Madrid halls and the track layout associated with the 2026 Spanish F1 Grand Prix. <\/p>\n\n

To achieve this, automated mission flights are planned and executed specifically to capture high-precision LiDAR and photogrammetric data with optimized longitudinal and transverse overlaps. These operations are pre-coordinated with IFEMA\u2019s security team and the relevant aviation authorities, ensuring full compliance with all operational and regulatory requirements. <\/p>\n\n

Flights are conducted using drones equipped with RTK\/PPK positioning systems supported by ground control points (GCPs), achieving centimetre-level accuracy. The periodic capture of georeferenced data ensures consistent and continuous monitoring of site evolution, enabling the technical team to rigorously track progress, earthworks, and terrain modifications across all project phases. <\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, the Eiffage Energ\u00eda Sistemas<\/a> Group is responsible for the execution of all Pit Building MEP<\/strong> (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) infrastructure required to adapt these spaces to the demanding standards of a top-tier competition like Formula 1.<\/p>\n\n
