This year, the so-called “innovation tunnel” was on display at the Callao Square in central Madrid, where more than 30,000 visitors could get a taste of the innovative advances made by the civil engineering sector in Spain. The display featured 225 square meters of artefacts relating to construction, materials, and technology through a dynamic programming with participatory workshops, guided tours, and other activities aimed at showing how engineers come up with ingenious solutions to huge technical challenges happening in the sector.
