Long journeys and situations that require a long attention span require, as a minimum, a state of comfort. Although science cannot guarantee driving safety or productivity at work, it can determine some parameters that make it easier to reach those goals.
These are assumptions upon which Ingenia led a project that originated in Idom, whose aim has been to define a model capable of quantifying the relationship between mechanical and physical parameters and the subjective perception of comfort of the individuals involved.
The final result is a cha ...
AEC Engineering has been awarded the engineering design of the enclosure for the National Solar Observatory's proposed Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST), which is planned for construction on Haleakal, on the island of Maui in Hawaii.
ATST will be the largest solar telescope in the world, with unprecedented abilities to view details of the Sun. Using adaptive optics technology, ATST will be able to provide the sharpest views ever taken of the solar surface. It is expected that the 4-meter telescope will have a significant impact on the ...
PORT OF LÁZARO CÁRDENAS (MEXICO)
The Port of Lázaro Cárdenas (Pacífic Coast) aspires to be one of the most important ports in Latin America. Idom has performed the economic study of the planning, pre-investment and technical, economic, ecologic and social feasibility for the installation of the second container terminal, which is an infrastructure necessary in order to achieve the port’s goal.

The operations carried out in major port terminals, such as the Port of Barcelona, require international security codes th ...
Heathrow is the world’s busiest international airport. Regarded as the hub of the aviation world, it is continually growing. Idom is working on several projects as part of this growth.
MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK FOR THE NEW HEATHROW EAST TERMINAL T2A. DESIGN OPTIONS STAGE
As an integral component of the future Terminal 2A, plans are under development for a new car park providing direct access to the new terminal. Various options and distribution strategies have been evaluated by Idom, to provide a building that will have a capacity of 2,000 car bay ...
The first solar thermal power plant to operate in the region of Extremadura, Spain is called Alvarado 1. It has a capacity of 50 MW, which is enough to supply electricity to 28,000 homes. Parabolic cylinder technology was used for this plant, which includes 184,320 mirrors arranged in rows along nearly 74 kilometers (46 miles) occupying an area of 130 hectares (321 acres).
This plant will prevent the annual emission of 98,000 tones of CO2 that would be generated by coal, while still producing the same amount of electricity. The advantage of using ...
The new strategic model that the Government of Spain wants small and medium-sized companies to follow is to incorporate the culture of design and innovation into their business. The State Society for the Development of Design and Innovation (DDI) awarded Idom the assistance to implement this model in more than 120 companies from the regions of Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, and Galicia, in its journey towards the systematization of design and innovation processes. To carry out this project, the largest yet in design and innovation i ...
Midland Quarry Project was “highly commended” in the ‘UK Project Over £1M’ category at the Ground Engineering Awards which was held in London on 6th February 2009. The former stone quarry of some 16 hectares is located approximately 1 km to the northwest of Nuneaton, Warwickshire - situated midway between the cities of Birmingham and Leicester in United Kingdom.
Quarrying commenced about 1885 and ceased during the late 1990’s, when the quarry had developed as two distinct voids – a large deep main void which had partly flooded and a smaller parab ...
