This will be Adif and Adif Alta Velocidad’s first facility of this kind, and with it, the rail infrastructure manager aims to provide first-line maintenance of the twenty-two standard-gage locomotives and inspection trains that it has to carry out maintenance, examination and inspection work on the network.
The workshop will be built in Adif’s Madrid-Sur infrastructure maintenance sub-base and will be connected to the conventional line. It will also have the capacity to carry out the different maintenance operations on both standard and conventional-gage rolling stock.
Specifically, it will initially accommodate the twenty-two standard gage locomotives that Adif Alta Velocidad acquired in November 2019 to carry out examination, rescue, snowplowing or maintenance work support functions on high-speed lines.
However, the workshop will also be sized to handle the maintenance of the inspection trains and will be equipped with pits, longer bays and wheel turning equipment.
This new contract covers the analysis of the different options open to the Madrid Sur maintenance sub-base for building the workshop and connecting it to the conventional network, followed by the drafting of construction project.
