Negratín optimizes project planning and proactively identifies deviations through real-time geospatial analytics

Negratín Group, a global company specialized in integrated solutions for the energy sector, is reinforcing its commitment to advanced digitalization of project execution through the integration of aerial data capture and geospatial analytics technology developed in collaboration with Sitemark.

This partnership enables Negratín to evolve toward a construction oversight model based on objective, continuous and time-comparable data, enhancing visibility over actual project progress and strengthening its ability to anticipate deviations during critical execution phases.

The solution is currently being deployed across four of the group’s projects at different stages of execution, totaling approximately 295.9 MWp—representing around 80% of Negratín’s current construction activity. Its implementation is being progressively extended to all projects where its application is viable, including developments in both international and domestic markets for clients such as Verbund and Plenitude, as well as Negratín’s own projects under development.

The growing complexity of renewable project execution, combined with increasing pressure on timelines and costs, is driving the adoption of data-driven monitoring models aimed at improving construction oversight and minimizing deviations. In this context, solutions such as Sitemark enable a shift from supervision systems based on periodic reporting to continuous analysis frameworks that reflect actual project progress.

Through this platform, data captured via regular drone flights is processed and integrated into a digital environment that enables systematic comparison between planning and execution, early detection of deviations, and real-time decision-making.

This model reduces on-site verification times by between 60% and 80%, while improving the accuracy of progress measurement and the quality of reporting by transitioning from lagging monitoring systems to management based on up-to-date, comparable data. In addition, the application of this technology helps reduce execution deviations by around 20% and optimize resource planning, indirectly contributing to cost efficiency and improved adherence to delivery timelines.

According to David Torrego, Energy & Installations Managing Director at Negratín, “the integration of geospatial analytics and drone technology allows us to move toward a more precise, transparent and data-driven execution model. This continuous monitoring capability strengthens our control over construction and enhances our efficiency in highly complex projects.”

The adoption of these tools also improves execution traceability, optimizes resource management, and strengthens coordination among the various stakeholders involved in the project, particularly in international and technically complex environments.

This model forms part of the group’s broader evolution of its execution system, where digitalization is embedded as a core lever to reinforce both technical and operational control. In this regard, the adoption of solutions such as Sitemark reflects a business-driven innovation approach aimed at enhancing efficiency, risk management and execution reliability.
