In October 2016, METALESA S.L. received a subsidy from the Valencian Business Competitiveness Institute (Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial - IVACE), specifically the R&D Projects Certification Programme. The aid is funded by the ERDF Operational Programme of the Valencian Community 2014-2020.
The demand for Transitions between META13/16 parapets and concrete barriers continues to grow
METALESA has completed the work to manufacture and assemble vehicle containment systems designed for the viaduct on the Aix-Noulette route in France. In addition to the 170 metres of META13 metal parapet with an H3 containment level, four transition units from META16 to concrete barrier were installed, a product unique in that it underwent full-scale testing done by a Spanish road safety company.
This product is the result of METALESA’s commitment over many years to solve one of the main black spots of European roads, the connections between systems with different containment levels. The company has been working on other solutions for years to cover the widest possible range of transitions.
METALESA completes the viaduct over the Tajo river of the Madrid-Extremadura high-speed line
In April 2019, METALESA completed work on the Cañaveral-Alcántara Reservoir section of the construction project of the Madrid-Extremadura high-speed line between Tayuela and Cáceres.
This section includes a 1,488 metre long viaduct on the river Tagus, with a signature 324 metre central arch span. At the same time, two bridges have been projected, 162 metres on the Regato de Cuervo and on the 114 metres on the Roman road Vía de la Plata.

METALESA has been responsible for manufacturing and installing all the metal equipment for this section, specifically more than 3,000 metres of bird protection screens, 636 metres of ADIF railings, 226 metres of ADIF vandal-proof fencing and 180 metres of our META16 parapet with H3 containment level for overpasses.
With this project, METALESA further consolidates its position as a leading company in the roll out of the national high-speed network, in which it has been actively involved for many years, through many recent projects in the Basque Y and the Madrid-Galicia line.

Metalesa will be present in flagship project over Cadiz bay
METALESA SV has been awarded 1.250 m2 of noise walls 2.5 m high, of which the first meters is metallic sheet and the rest is methacrylate. This panels will be placed in the section of River San Pedro Industrial Park, reducing the noise from car traffic crossing the new bridge.
Following this awarding, METALESA SV becomes a part of the companies participating in this emblematic project, aimed at improving the access to the city center and improving road communication of the Bay area, contributing to the economic and social development of the city of Cadiz and its port.
The Second Bridge is the most important infrastructure currently under construction in the whole of the European continent. It is the cable-stayed bridge with longest span in the world, overpassing Tianxingzhou Bridge in China (504 meters) and Oresund Bridge that unites Sweden and Denmark (409 meters).
Completion of work for the Cavaillon Viaduct (France)
The work carried out by METALESA involved supplying and installing of 1.5km of META13 parapet, acoustic screens and protection against the passage of birds and cladding the edge of the deck using aluminium cornices to channel rainwater and electricity on the viaduct crossing the river Durance.
This viaduct is located between the toll and the industrial area south of Cavaillon, connecting the boroughs of Bouches du Rhône and Vaucluse.
The structure is a girder composite viaduct extended by two annexed bridges of prestressed concrete slabs.
