Ferrovial, through its construction subsidiary Ferrovial Agroman, has received the "Major Contractor of the Year 2010" award in Ireland for its soundness and the exceptional amount of construction activity carried out in the country this year. The award, known as "CMG Building and Design Awards 2010" has been granted by Commercial Media Group (CMG).

The jury, comprised of recognized engineers, architects and entrepreneurs, have honored Ferrovial Agroman’s ability to manage and deliver complex projects within the international engineering scene. In 2010, Ferrovial Agroman has put into operation - several months ahead of schedule - the M3, M1, M50 and A4, four of the biggest highway projects tendered in recent years to develop Ireland’s major transport corridors.
