SENER in the Unveiling of Barcelona's Metro Line 9 Between Zona PRESS RELEASE SENER in the unveiling of Barcelona’s metro line 9 between Zona Universitària and Barcelona airport The engineering and technology group worked throughout the full life cycle of this project, which set new standards for metro lines worldwide. Barcelona (Spain), February 12, 2016 – The engineering and technology group SENER attended the unveiling of the South section of Barcelona metro line 9, which took place during the morning of February 12. Guests included the president of the Catalonia Government, Carles Puigdemont, and other representatives of public institutions. The new line section connects the following municipalities of the metropolitan area: Barcelona, L’Hospitalet and El Prat de Llobregat. This addresses the demand from different urban areas which, until now, lacked a public transport railway connection. The newly opened section connects the two airport terminals, the exhibition sites, industrial areas, residential areas and the city centre (15 stations and a depot situates in Zona Franca). Many passengers are currently using line 9, the first section of which was launched in December 2009. SENER played a key role in line 9, being responsible for providing technical assistance for the integration of all infrastructure and systems, and participating in the Project and Construction Management of systems, stations and civil works. The project was one of notable technical complexity, its 52 stations and total length of 47.8 km making it the largest automated line in Europe and one of the most modern in the world. In this regard, the Director of SENER in Catalonia, Òscar Julià, highligted “the excellent work of the SENER team, as they were not only responsible for defining and supervising the technical functionalities, managing the integration of interfaces and providing assistance during the operation of the line, but also delivered an exhaustive global risk analysis. In it, SENER defined, distributed and assigned the safety requirements for each of the subsystems, making Barcelona metro’s line 9 one of the safest on the continent.” The longest driverless line in Europe Barcelona metro’s line 9 runs as a driverless Unattended Train Operation (UTO), allowing trains to circulate autonomously. This offers users a service with greater safety, regularity and availability, and there is more flexibility to bring supply into line with demand, since trains are added or removed automatically, in accordance with transport requirements. This automation also offers high levels of safety: all platforms have panels preventing access to the tracks, fitted with doors that open in sync with the opening of the train doors to give access to the cars. The closing-off of the platforms offers other advantages, such as better temperature control and soundproofing of the platforms. Furthermore, the stations have large-capacity elevators. The signaling system is automatic and wireless, as it is the video transmission system installed in the trains, which gives the control center a real-time view of the cars and the track. The entire line operation is managed from a central control center, where qualified personnel supervise the trains’ For more information: Oihana Casas. Communication. SENER.

Continuous communication is maintained between the control center and the trains to regulate intervals and timetables. At the same time, other telecommunication systems keep passengers informed and supervise security by means of video surveillance cameras, telephone, intercom and megaphone systems. These also allow continuous communication between the controllers, as well as access to the emergency services. These systems are organized through two independent data networks that converge onto one IP data platform. There are manifold subsystems that in conjunction underlie the functioning of the metro. Their integration, which was the responsibility of SENER, is critical to guarantee the efficiency of the installations. In point of fact, the launch of line 9 sets new standards in the design and construction of metro systems, making Barcelona a global example for urban transport.

    120 SEA WATER ENCROACHMENT IN THE LLOBREGAT AND BESOS AREAS, NEAR BARCELONA (CATALONIA, SPAIN) 1 by Emilio Custodio, Dr. Ing. ABSTRACT The Llobregat and Bes6s areas, though small, are highly important aquifers for the Barcelona peripherical zones, and support a complex of urban, industrial and irrigated areas. They are young river deltas containing a two aquifer system, interconected upstream and at the delta boundaries. The deep aquifers support most of the abstractions, specially in the Llobregat area, the most important one. Since 1965 different studies have been completed and a partial observation network has been operated. Sea water encroachment proceeds into the deep aquifer through two main tracts along the Llobregat delta sea limit, corresponding to more coarse alluvial deposits, and their effects appear with a delay of 10 to 15 years. In between the salty water penetrations there are portions of re­ sidual fresh water, in the less permeable formations. Industrial wells pumping salt water aid in controling the salinization of other areas upstream, but when abandoned there is a step increase in chloride content. A wide mixing front develops and no Ghyben­ Herzberginterface can be found, though the general consequences apply. 1 Barcelona's International Groundwater Course.

  • Automated Metro, Safer and More Efficient
    Automated Metro, safer and more efficient State-of-the-art technology at your service Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona Barcelona, on the road to automation The Barcelona Metro is on the road to automation. The medium- or long-term perspective is for 43% of the TMB network (70 to 160 kilometres) to be automated. The new lines, such as the L9/L10, have been conceived as automated lines and some of the existing ones will be progressively converted. Following L9/10, which was put into operation as an automated line from the outset, L2 will have to be technologically converted and adopt automated operation, as was recently done with L11. This is because, when it is extended to the airport through the Parc Logístic fork, L2 will share part of the infrastructure with L9. The two lines will require compatible trains and systems to operate jointly on the same infrastructure. The benefits of automation TMB’s commitment to automation is consistent 2) More passengers in less time with its desire to provide the best possible service. Automation enables more passengers to The introduction of automated metro systems not be transported in less time using the same only provides more safety, reliability and flexibility infrastructure.

  • Planning System of Metro Networks. Comparison Between Copenhagen and Barcelona Jordi Frigola Almar 57
    Planning system of metro networks. Comparison between Copenhagen and Barcelona 3. The Barcelona’s metro 3.1. Introduction Barcelona, unlike Copenhagen, has a big metro network for more than 80 years. This metro, together with suburban railways, bus service and the new tram provides Barcelona with a great public transport network to move through the Metropolitan region. However, the increase of population, work places and the development of private transport need to offer a better public service, with better connections between different transport modes to compete directly with the private transport, such as cars and motorbikes. For that reason, in 1997, the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM) was created in order to plan the public transport infrastructures in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. Aside from that, ATM acts as a mediator between the public Administrative and the different operators that take part in the public transport. Hence, ATM created the Infrastructure Master Plan for public transport 2001-2010 (PDI), which basically describes the development of the public transport in the Barcelona Metropolitan Region within the next years. That means the improvement of the actual network, enlarging the existing lines, putting new rolling stock, etc, or creating new ones to fulfil the demand. But also ATM is responsible to plan and coordinate the services, define an integration fare system and manage the mobility. One of the most important infrastructure within the PDI and improvement in the public transport will be the new metro line, L9, the largest in Europe, which will connect the Barcelona’s airport with L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, the northern part of Barcelona, Santa Coloma de Gramenet and Badalona, as well as The Zona Franca, which is the largest industrial area in Spain.
