The president of Elmasa, Pedro Agustín del Castillo, has highlighted the role of technicians from the south of the island to highlight sustainable solutions to industrial processes such as water desalination. This December, Del Castillo has given its workers awards for internal projects that subsequently allocate the money to NGOs in the south of Gran Canaria, a region that is the economic capital of the Canary Islands and the European leader in profitability of the tourism sector.
Thus, Alejandro del Pino, with his Zero Emissions project, has been awarded and assigned to an association on Parkinson's; Dolores Martel, for her initiative 'Educational campaign in San Bartolomé de Tirajana', a prize that she will donate to children with cancer in Pequeno Valiente. Finally, the team formed by Cruci Diez, Jon Escalante and Patricia Vega received two awards for their respective initiatives: 'Landscaping of the EDAM Maspalomas I' and 'Sustainable Platanera Plantation', with the Multiple Sclerosis Association being the beneficiary NGO.
Elmasa and INTA are the enclaves of scientific research in the south of Gran Canaria. In the case of the water company, its activity has been focused on desalination, both seawater and brackish water, with work closely linked to tourism development in the south of Gran Canaria. It can handle any job from the preliminary phases of design, manufacturing, assembly, commissioning and subsequent operation. The strength of the former Eléctrica de Maspalomas lies in the presence of professionals specializing in multiple branches of engineering, which allows us to face projects with a comprehensive vision.
In recent years it has specialized in energy improvement works and expansion of desalination plants. To face the improvement of facilities that are in service and that do not have long shutdown windows, a high dose of design engineering is required to face the improvements with the greatest safety and quality possible, minimizing the impact on normal production. of the installation.
It also has its own manufacturing workshop that has allowed it to carry out the latest work carried out in its entirety, highlighting the execution of containerized plants, a line of business that fits perfectly with its work philosophy. But his field of action is not only limited to desalination; He carries out works and loans of exploitation services in hydraulic installations, desalination, purification, reuse and remote control and automation systems
