The ITeC has just published the update of the Bank of Drinking Water Supply Networks 2026 (BANC AB 2026) that can be consulted through any device, whether mobile or desktop.

The 12th edition of Banc AB 2026, available in Catalan, is a discreet bank with 17,407 reference prices for drinking water supply networks with technical specifications and environmental data, downloadable in FIEBDC-3 format from the ITeC website.

The prices are adapted to the province of Barcelona and, by extrapolation, are applicable to urban environments. The specifications are applicable to the area of Catalonia. As for environmental data, they include energy cost, CO2 emission eq., and waste (construction, demolition, excavation and packaging).

This year’s update includes the update of 100% of the prices of the simple elements, both generic and common to the BEDEC bank, as well as specific for the drinking water supply network bank at 2026 prices, as well as the update of descriptions, justifications and specifications, the result of experience in its use, within the process of continuous improvement.
