1. Large-Scale Multi-Disciplinary Sports Infrastructure (€30m)
This project type focuses on integrated recreational hubs. It involves a complex mix of specialized sports facilities (all-weather pitches and air-supported structures/domes) combined with heavy civil engineering, including road access, bridge construction, and massive earthmoving and drainage works.
