OHLA, a global infrastructure group, has been named a finalist in the 2026 Dalux Awards, one of the leading international competitions recognizing excellence in construction digitalization, for the Chiquián Health Center, a healthcare facility located in the Peruvian Andes at an altitude of 3,300 meters.

The project stands out for its implementation of BIM methodology and the use of Dalux as a Common Data Environment (CDE) to centrally manage the information generated throughout the construction process. The platform connects the technical office with on-site teams and enables the safety, quality, planning, engineering and construction areas to work with shared, up-to-date and readily accessible information.

This information management model enhances coordination between the different teams, improves document traceability, reduces rework and contributes to a more agile and efficient construction process. In addition, the project incorporates 360° photographic capture technology, providing a continuous visual record of construction progress and facilitating the identification, assignment, monitoring and resolution of issues based on information captured directly on site.

The Chiquián Health Center also has a strong social dimension. Located in a remote area of the Peruvian Andes, it will bring essential healthcare services closer to families in the region, reducing the need to travel long distances to receive medical care. It will also contribute to the development of new economic activities in the surrounding area.

Peru is one of OHLA’s key markets in Latin America. The company has been developing strategic infrastructure in the country for more than two and a half decades, with a portfolio of projects spanning the healthcare, transport and mining sectors.

This distinction adds to other recognitions received by OHLA for internationally renowned projects. In 2024, Engineering News-Record (ENR) recognized the Sullana Hospital in Peru with a Health Care Award of Merit, while the Northern Extension of the COSAC Corridor was named Rail/Transit Best Project.

Translation choices: I’ve used natural corporate English rather than a literal translation, particularly with expressions such as “construction digitalization,” “on-site teams,” “document traceability,” and “construction progress,” so the text reads like an international OHLA press release while preserving the original meaning.
