Adif has awarded Inse Rail the contract to provide technical assistance in the supervision of the works to remodel and modernize the Grisén railway station on the Madrid-Zaragoza conventional-gage line, located in the Ribera Alta del Ebro region (Zaragoza).
The construction project for the remodel was designed by Inse Rail to expand the functionality and operation of the station’s layout to improve traffic performance and improve operating efficiency.
The comprehensive remodeling of the station, which has several siding tracks and an industrial siding for the Opel automobile factory, includes the overhaul of the track yard configuration and layout to increase the travel speed of passenger trains between Madrid and Navarra/Basque Country/La Rioja, and the reorganization of the tracks in the siding to extend the useful length of two of them (3A and 3B) to 750 m. The platform will also be expanded to respond to the needs of the new track configuration and the structure over the Canal Imperial de Aragón will be prepared.
The work includes the installation of new elements (rails, sleepers and ballast) and trackside devices, the comprehensive modernization of the electrification system, and the relocation of the lighting installations. The platforms will also be raised, a new central platform will be created, the main platform next to the passenger building will be reconstructed, and a new underpass equipped with stairs and ramps will be built under the platforms.
