Press Release Summary = Valoriza, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sacyr Vallehermoso,
one Spain\'s largest publicly traded construction and engineering conglomerates,
announced the formation of a strategic alliance with The ADGECO Group in Abu Dhabi.

Press Release Body = The alliance was formally inaugurated in reception at the
Emirates Palace Hotel held on February 7th.

The VALORIZA-ADGECO alliance will center upon Valoriza\'s core competencies in
designing, constructing and operating desalination, sewage treatment and power
generation plants. Given Valoriza\'s tradition of providing \'best-in-class\'
environmental protection and conservation solutions, the scope of activities will

solar and renewable energy technologies.

According to Mr. Pablo Abril-Martorell Hernandez, Valoriza\'s Director General,
\'Entering into this alliance is an historic step forward in Valoriza\'s broader
expansion plans in the Gulf region. Our company will be establishing a major office
presence in Abu Dhabi, and is budgeting large amounts of seed capital for the
establishment of joint venture entities involved in Build -Own/Operate -Transfer
projects.

\'These projects will create treatment and generation plants delivering significant
employment opportunities for Emirati nationals, while at the same time providing
cutting edge solutions to Abu Dhabi\'s desalination, power generation and waste
treatment challenges in the years ahead.\'

Mohamed Dekkak, Founder and Managing Director of The ADGECO Group, characterized the
alliance as \'a huge opportunity for progressive, Emirati holding companies to
partner with one of Europe\'s most widely respected experts in specialty plant,
finance design construction and operation.\'

Sacyr Vallehermoso, Valoriza\'s parent, has an annual turnover in excess of US$5.5
billion, and a stock market value approaching US$18 billion. Plants constructed
and/or owned by the company serve the needs of over 2.6 million customers each day.

The ADGECO Group is one of Abu Dhabi\'s most prominent holding companies active in
the construction, project management and real estate development sectors.
