CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT 1ST HALF 2019 | 7 2. ABOUT US Infraestruturas de Portugal, S.A. (IP) is a public com- pany that results from the merger between Rede Ferroviária Nacional - REFER, E.P.E. (REFER) and EP - Estradas de Portugal, S.A. (EP). The merger entered into force on 1 June 2015, following the publication of Decree-Law 91/2015 of 29 May. IP is responsible for the management of road infras- tructures, in accordance with the General Concession Contract for the national road network concluded with the State. IP also provides the public service for the management of the infrastructure of the National Railway Network (RFN), under a system of delegated powers from the Portuguese State, through the im- plementation of a Programme Contract for the railway sector. We are the largest Portuguese group in the mana- gement of transport infrastructure and aim to provide a safe, efficient and sustainable multimodal mobility service. In this context, IP is a reference company at national and international level, which combines unique kno- w-how, through the experience and skills of its staff, with a keen appetite for and openness to innovation, a decisive factor in the current context of continuous evolution of mobility services. 8 | INFRAESTRUTURAS DE PORTUGAL GROUP - ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED DOCUMENT 2.1 THE IP GROUP The subsidiaries aim to set up profit centres for the purpose of optimising the IP Group's non-core re- venue, making the excess capacity of assets not The IP Group incorporates the technical know-how used in the main activities profitable.

    Finisterra, LIII, 108, 2018, pp. 135 -159 ISSN: 0430-5027 doi: 10.18055/Finis12057 Artigo ESPAÇOS INFRAESTRUTURAIS E VACÂNCIA: TRAÇOS DIACRÓNICOS NA FORMAÇÃO DO TERRITÓRIO METROPOLITANO DE LISBOA João Rafael Santos1 RESUMO – A formação do território metropolitano de Lisboa assentou numa com- plexa articulação entre o suporte fisiográfico e hidrográfico e o traçado de diversas redes infraestruturais, nomeadamente rodoviárias e ferroviárias, aterros e espaços portuários, limites e estruturas militares. Dessa articulação resultaram espaços de interface com tecidos urbanos de diversa natureza. A sua reconstituição e interpretação cartográfica permite descodificar as lógicas subjacentes aos processos de territorialização que, frequentemente, coexistem e se sobrepõem, resultantes também de alterações de uso e de racionalidade programática. Numa perspetiva diacrónica, revelam -se os traços da sua transformação: adi- ções, justaposições, mas também persistências, subtrações e demolições. Alguns resultam fragmentados e desagregados, restos de estruturas que se perderam no esteio de mudanças tecnológicas e funcionais, descontinuados no espaço e no tempo. Espaços vacantes na atualidade, constituem áreas de oportunidade para intervenções tópicas, temporárias e imprevistas em lógicas de maior formalidade. Neste sentido, o artigo propõe uma leitura dos processos de infraestruturação do território metropolitano de Lisboa, focando -se no solo portuário e industrial e nas coroas de circulação, demarcação militar e equipamento da capital, articulando -a com o reconhecimento de espaços vacantes na atualidade. A partir desse confronto, propõe -se uma interpretação territorializada das relações entre infraestru- turação e produção de vacâncias segundo uma pauta tipológica e temporal. Palavras -chave: Infraestruturas; espaços vacantes; áreas metropolitanas; Lisboa. ABSTRACT – INFRASTRUCTURAL SPACES AND VACANCY: DIACHRONIC TRACES IN THE SHAPING OF LISBON’S METROPOLITAN TERRITORY.

  • Management Report of the Board of Directors 2016 11 I
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Cover: Hercílio Luz Bridge | Florianópolis | Brazil Annual Report 2016 Having started its activity in 1921, Teixeira Duarte currently leads a major Economic Group with over 10,000 employees, who work in 18 countries, in 6 activity sectors, achieving an annual turnover of over 1,100 million euros. Based on its structural Values: Resourcefulness, Truth and Commitment, Teixeira Duarte has accomplished its Mission: Doing, contributing to the building of a better world. Its foundational reference as an Engineering Establishment characterises Teixeira Duarte’s action in all its Areas of Construction from Geotechnics and Rehabilitation, to Buildings, Infrastructures, Metalworking, Underground Works, Railway Works and Maritime Works. The sustained growth in Construction over decades has enabled the Group to progressively develop other Activity Sectors due to the business opportunities it has encountered and knowingly fostered since the 1970s, such as Concessions and Services (since 1984), Real Estate (since 1973), Hospitality (since 1992), Distribution (since 1996), Energy (since 1996) and Automotive (since 1991). Although in 2016 it still operated in the Energy sector - where it had operated since 1996 - Teixeira Duarte divested its stake in the entity through which it maintained its activity in this sector in the first quarter of 2017. With a consolidated process of internationalisation, Teixeira Duarte has long operated in other markets which are nowadays still important in its operations, such as Venezuela (since 1978), Angola (since 1979), Mozambique (since 1982), Spain (since 2003), Algeria (since 2005) and Brazil (since 2006), currently also added by France, Belgium, United Kingdom, United States of America, Colombia, Peru, Morocco, South Africa, China, Qatar and Dubai.

Pedro Pinto Mestre em Economia pelo ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa André Pires Mestre em Gestão pela Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) Resumen El cierre de la red de ferrocarriles del Duero empezó en 1988 con el Plano de Modernização e Reconversão dos Caminhos-de-Ferro (Plan de Modernización y Re- conversión de los Ferrocarriles). En las últimas dos décadas y varios planes para los ferrocarriles portugueses, solamente 179 de los 578 quilómetros de la red ferro- viaria del Duero tienen servicio. La metodología usada en el trabajo es de carácter cualitativa y se presentan como casos de estudios la línea de Duero y sus ramales de vía estrecha Tâmega, Corgo, Tua y Sabor. Nuestra investigación tiene como prin- cipal objetivo caracterizar y describir las razones que llevaron al cierre de la gran mayoría de estos Itinerarios ferroviarios en las regiones de Trás-os-Montes y Duero.

In the last two decades and after several strategic plans for the Portuguese railway sector, only 179 of the 578 kilometres that formed the Douro Region railway network have still commercial services.

  • Compendium of Definitions and Acronyms for Rail Systems
    APTA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM APTA STD-ADMIN-GL-001-19 GUIDELINES First Published June 20, 2019 American Public Transportation Association 1300 I Street NW, 12th Floor East, Washington, DC, 20005 Compendium of Definitions and Acronyms for Rail Systems Abstract: This compendium was developed by the Technical Services & Innovation Department and published by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) to provide a glossary of commonly used definitions and acronyms in documents such as standards, recommended practices, and guidelines, so there is consistency within the rail transportation industry. Summary: APTA, through its subsidiary the North American Transit Services Association (NATSA), develops standards, recommended practices and guidelines for the benefit of public rail transportation. These tasks are accomplished by working groups consisting of members from rail transit agencies, manufacturers, consultants, engineers and other interested groups. Through the development of these documents, working groups have created a wide array of terms and abbreviations, many with varying definitions. This compendium has been developed to standardize the usage of such definitions and acronyms as it relates to rail operations, maintenance practices, designs and specifications. This document is dynamic in nature in that, over time, additional definitions and acronyms will be included. It is APTA’s intention that the document be sufficiently expanded at some point in the future to provide common usage of terms encompassing all rail industry requirements. Scope and purpose: This compendium applies to all rail agencies that operate commuter rail, heavy rail (subway systems), light rail, streetcars, and trolleys. The usage of these definitions and acronyms are voluntary. Nevertheless, it is the desire of APTA that the rail industry apply these terms to all documents such as standards, recommended practices, standard operating practices, standard maintenance practices, rail agency policies and procedures, and agency rule books.
