Innovation drives
our growth
The pursuit of innovation, sustainability and efficiency is one of the fundamental principles behind Simetria’s work.
Therefore, in order to remain competitive in a changing market, we have made a firm commitment to innovation creating Globalcyclus, a firm dedicated exclusively to operating the whole company Innovation.
For Simetría, innovation is a global strategy that penetrates into every level of the company. In order for our group to be considered innovative, we promote the knowledge, creativity and skills of our employees.
To this end, we have implemented an R&D&I management system in all of our business areas, in line with the UNE 166002 standard, thereby creating an innovation-oriented business strategy that enables us to offer more sustainable solutions to our clients.
Simetria boasts a team of professionals who specialise in the development of R&D&I projects. Innovation Management is developed from Globalcyclus by coordinating the different experts of each business to offer energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions. Our R&D activities chiefly focus on improving process efficiency, waste management and the development of new materials.
The digital transformation of our procedures and services are a key target for Simetria. Globalcyclus focus all the developments of new tecnologies that are made for the different business’ areas, allowing them to conduct an efficient management based in data.
OUR VISION
In Simetria we want to be a national-level referent both in construction and delivery service. We base our growth on innovation as a transversal line in the whole company and we deliver a global and efficient service to our clients, leveraging the synergies we generate among the different businesses of the company.
PAV-DT
A new inertial-type solution designed to provide full and advanced auscultation of the quality, condition and deterioration of road surfaces in real time..
The aim of the project is to develop a class 1 road surface auscultation system that is inexpensive and can be installed in a conventional vehicle, with the additional capacity to detect, locate and quantify any defects that may be present in the road surface.
CRYSTALOFNOISE
Research and development of acoustic screens that use sonic crystals to provide noise barriers for road infrastructure.
Design and development of a new concept for acoustic screens based on sonic crystals, for installation on road infrastructure. These types of screen offer a number of advantages over traditional systems, including: smaller foundations required; enhanced aesthetic appeal; wind- and water-permeability; use of recycled products; adaptability to suit any noise-related problem.
BIOLIGWASTE
This project focuses on realising the commercial potential of garden waste, beyond simply compost. The first stage is the study and selection of suitable raw materials from the pruning of municipal gardens, which is then used to obtain biofuels, lactic acid and bio-oils. A technical and financial analysis of the production of bioethanol was also carried out.
F2URBAN
Research and development of flexible, sound-absorbing elements for use in urban environments.
The main aim is to develop new noise-proofing solutions based on textile systems that have been designed in line with processes to optimise their acoustic performance. These solutions will be used in urban environments to attenuate the ambient noise produced by outdoor hospitality and leisure establishments and construction and demolition works.
