Within the framework of the construction project of the Tesla gigafactory in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, progress is reported in the infrastructure works that precede the construction of the most important electric car plant in the world.

In the last days of last December, work crews carried out various fundamental tasks to prepare the land. This included ground leveling, area layout, topographical and general cleaning in the area where the imposing gigafactory will be erected.

These preliminary works made it possible to precisely determine the control points, the layout for the structures, as well as the section intended for the access ramps and the expansion of the third lane on the Monterrey – Saltillo highway.

One of the highlights of this initial phase is the construction of an upper vehicular bridge, crucial to facilitate the flow of vehicles in the area. 

In addition, the expansion of a third lane on the Monterrey – Saltillo free highway is planned, an anticipated measure to address the expected increase in vehicle flow, a consequence of promotion strategies to attract foreign direct investment and take advantage of nearshoring.

In order to ensure the efficiency and solidity of the construction, surveys will begin to verify the load of the deep foundation. 

These studies, carried out using soil mechanics, will provide crucial information on the characteristics, qualities and load capacities of the materials on which the foundations of the bridges to be built will be based. The results of these surveys will be decisive for the structural design of each of the projects involved.
