The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) has awarded the construction of the Research Centre on Robotics and Underwater Technologies (Cirtesu), the first research centre of this type to in the Valencian Community and the second in Spain. The new building has been awarded for a total amount of 497,370 euros to three companies: Gimecons Construcciones y Contratas, which will be in charge of the civil works (359,909 euros); Electrónica Monrabal, which will carry out the electrical installations (64,467 euros) and Veolia Servicios Lecam S. A. U., which will be responsible for the hydraulic part (72,992 euros). Work has begun this week and the execution period is six months.

The Cirtesu building will be built next to Espaitec and its most important infrastructure will be a 450-square-metre warehouse that will allow progress in robotic research and underwater technologies with potential applications in archaeology, biodiversity conservation, aquaculture and the oil and gas industry. The water tank will be twelve metres long by eight metres wide, five metres deep and with a capacity of half a million litres, i.e. half an Olympic swimming pool.
