Acefat (infrastructure of public services) manages all the works of service companies that are carried out in the city of Barcelona since 1990. In the past seven years has coordinated 2.858 works on the street of the city of Barcelona.

First came a company and opened the road to bury the cables. Months later the gas operators dug the same ditch, and shortly thereafter were those of Telefónica that repeated the work to the optical fiber, for example. Result: constant discomfort, a waste of time and resources, and the neighbours stress by the noise of the hammers. To put an end to this mess, was born Acefat in order to develop a project of integrated management of the works of services which are carried out on the street of the city of Barcelona.

In the past seven years have saved nearly 450 kilometres of works in Barcelona and have avoided that they take place in the 3.956 city new. In this period (2002-2008), as a result of his work, Acefat achieved 2.858 works carried out on the street of Barcelona to be coordinated.
