ADIF has awarded INSE RAIL, in a joint venture, the contract for the supervision of the works of the projects to increase the length of the siding tracks in the Fernán Núñez, Montilla and Puente Genil stations to 750 m. These stations are part of the conventional gauge L/430 Córdoba Mercancías – Los Prados line, which connects the provinces of Córdoba and Malaga.
INSE RAIL also drafted the project for the three stations.
These actions are aimed at achieving the conformity of the stations and to allow the parking and crossing of trains up to 750 meters long. The extension of these siding tracks will improve the capacity, efficiency and competitiveness of the line, helping reduce external and internal costs of freight transport.
The works consist of the extension of the platform, the refurbishment of the old platform in the platform area and the installation of the track on the extended route. The extended tracks will also be electrified and the catenary in the stations will be adapted to equip them with rigid frames. The drainage system will also be adapted to the new track configuration.
