The Turolense town of Utrillas will have a new quartering of the Civil Guard located on the avenue of Valencia, on a plot ceded by the City Council, with access from the TE-V1010 road. The President of the Society of Penitentiary and State Security Infrastructures and Equipment (SIEPSE), Mercedes Gallizo, and the Secretary General of the Subdelegation of the Government in Teruel, Enrique Gómez, presented today the project of these facilities, which has a budget of 3.5 million euros, has been awarded to the company MLN-Mariano López Navarro and will be finished at the end of this year 2024.
The quartering is composed of two buildings - one for official premises and another for housing - to respond to the needs of the Civil Guard’s endowment. In total, they add up to an area of about 800 useful square meters.
The two buildings, although independent, maintain a unitary character and create a set of modern and functional construction with an aesthetic integrated into the environment. They have sloping roofs and an SATE (Outdoor Thermal Insulation System) type enclosure for easy and reduced maintenance, very suitable for the rigors of the climate of the area.
In the building of the official dependencies - on the ground floor and on the first floor - there will be a parking lot, warehouse, meeting room, offices, offices and customer service. In the housing building it also has a ground floor and first floor.
The project has been carried out from the perspective of sustainable construction. Particular emphasis has been placed on the environmental criteria pursued, based on the construction of an Almost Zero Energy Building (EECN) in accordance with the objectives defined in the project.
In addition, the sustainability criteria with which it has been designed have allowed to obtain the VERDE prequalification through the institution Green Building Council Spain (GBCe). Among these criteria are: the use of sustainable materials; energy savings - natural lighting and installation of low-energy LED luminaires and lighting control system, aerothermal system for air conditioning and the production of sanitary hot water and photovoltaic panels in the roofs; controlled ventilation and water saving - systems for the reduction of water consumption and network for the use of stormwater for use in the tanks of the toilets and irrigation -; energy monitoring system, waste management, landscaped area with indigenous plants, and recharging points for electric vehicles and bicycle parking, among others.
In addition, the building has been designed according to accessibility criteria to facilitate its use by people with reduced mobility. In this sense, accessible elevators are going to be installed in both buildings and the car parks have places for people with reduced mobility.
