Inse Rail and Bews to design the project to extend the Diagonal – Baix Llobregat tram to the center of Sant Feliu de Llobregat

The Autoritat del Transport Metropolitá de Barcelona (ATM) has awarded the joint venture Inse Rail – Bews the contract to draft the informational study and the final project design of the alternative chosen to extend the Diagonal – Baix Llobregat tram to the center of Sant Feliu de Llobregat.

The informational study will define two alternatives based on preliminary studies, which will incorporate the results of the compatibility studies of the tram alternatives with the most recent project to move the railway line underground and the movement of the terminal stop, updating the route characteristics.

The guidelines from the international call for ideas carried out by the City Council that affect the definition of the alternatives will also be incorporated and must be consistent in the indications of the master urban development plan that will include the changes in the urban planning of the city after moving the line underground.

The alternatives will analyze the new points of view of traffic and mobility, functionality, urban compatibility, tramway operation, existing and affected services, energy supply, environmental compatibility and economy, with sufficient precision to be able to submit the study for public consultation.

At the request of the City Council, a third alternative or variant of the previous two will be considered to include the possibility of a third additional stop closer to the El Pla industrial park.

After the most favorable alternative in terms of sustainability and the objectives of the action has been selected and approved by the ATM, the Inse Rail – Bews joint venture will draft the construction project, including the tramway installation and the urban development of the surrounding area.

Both the planning phase (informational study) and the design phase (construction project) will be developed with BIM methodology.

Inse Rail to draft the project for the railway station of the Alicante airport

Inse Rail, in a joint venture, has been awarded the contract by ADIF to draft the construction project for the new railway access to the Alicante airport, which includes the infrastructure, track, platforms and the new passenger station. The expected completion time for the drafting of the project is 24 months. 

The railway access to El Altet Airport involves the construction of a bypass on the conventional, non-electrified line between Murcia and Alicante, with a platform equipped with multi-purpose sleepers for a final configuration of 2 UIC tracks. The access to be designed will connect to the Murcia-Alicante line near the Torrellano Station after the line enters the municipality of Alicante, with an approximate length of 4.75 Km.

The most important part of the project is the new station at the airport. Its underground design includes both the civil works of the cavern as well as its architecture, in addition to all of the non-railway facilities, on the land that is currently owned by AENA.

An important aspect to be taken into account is that the access point for travelers coming from the new station has already been defined in the airport’s new terminal.

Before and after the station, the route also runs underground between retaining walls, to eliminate the impact on the N-338 highway and the entrance road to the airport that would be generated by the construction of a rail access on the surface.

The section of underground tunnel between the retaining walls to the west of the station will be approximately 825 m long and the one located to the east, 333 m.
