    Press release Lantania to carry out the renovation work of Metrovalencia Line 1 The contract awarded to the company in a joint venture with COMSA amounts to 18 million euros In Madrid, June 3rd, 2021 Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) has awarded the contract to the UTE (Temporary Joint Venture) formed by Lantania and COMSA to complete the renovation work of Line 1 of Metrovalencia. The budget for this contract amounts to 18 million euros, including taxes, and the time period for the completion of the work is 30 months. The work will be carried out on the section between the Valencia Sud and Villanueva de Castellón stations on Line 1 of the Valencia metro. It will mainly consist of the replacement of the existing turnouts and the activation and modification of interlockings and centralised traffic control systems (CTC) due to changes in track configurations at some stations. Several branches will also have their tracks replaced, the most significant being the section between Paiporta- Torrent (3,600 m) and Espioca- Almaguer (1,880 m). In addition, the level crossings will be renovated, both for vehicles and pedestrians, which will involve refurbishing the track in the affected area. A Strail type level crossing which is made from a mixture of recycled and new rubber will also be installed. The main work that will be undertaken is the replacement of 45 turnouts, the supply and installation of 14,374 prestressed monoblock concrete sleepers and the supply and placement of 24,932 m3 of ballast. The renovation work will affect the stations of Paiporta, Picanya, Torrent, Alcasser, Picassent (San Ramón), Benifaió, Alginet, Carlet, Alcudia, Massalaves, Alberic and Villanueva de Castellón.

  • Hizli Rayli Sistemlerin Yolcu Taşima Kapasite Hesaplamalari Ve Türkiyedeki Benzer Sistemlerin Birbirleriyle Karşilaştirilmasi
    HIZLI RAYLI SİSTEMLERİN YOLCU TAŞIMA KAPASİTE HESAPLAMALARI VE TÜRKİYEDEKİ BENZER SİSTEMLERİN BİRBİRLERİYLE KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI Ilgaz CANDEMİR_ , Serhan TANYEL_ SUMMARY Rail transit systems are found to be the most trusted transit systems all over the world. They have become one of the main parts of daily urban life as they provide, fast, safe and comfortable journey for passengers. If they are planned precisely, capacities up to10000-40000 passengers/hour can be achieved. They are also used as an important tool for to maintain well developed cities and provide dynamic city centers. In this study, some of the most important rail transit systems in Turkey are introduced. Their capacities tried to be determined by using different capacity calculation methods and the results are tired to be compared. ÖZET Dünyada halen en güvenilir ulaşõm modu, raylõ sistemlerdir. Gelişen teknolojinin yansõmasõ ile birlikte hõz, sinyalizasyon ve konfor problemlerini çözen kentsel raylõ sistemler büyük şehirler için vazgeçilmez olmuşlardõr.

  • GMT Report2012.Qxp
    GLOBAL METRO PROJECTS REPORT 2012 Metropolitan railways (metros) are high capacity electric transport systems that operate on dedicated routes, and can thereby achieve high service speed and frequency. Over the last few years, metros (also known as subway, underground or tube) have evolved as an efficient and effective urban mobility solution in addressing the growing concerns of urbanisation and climate change. This is supported by the fact that despite high capital requirements the sector witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 per cent between 2005 and 2010. In high density urban areas, metros form the backbone of integrated public transport systems and offer proven economic, social and environmental benefits. Given the huge investment requirement and long life span, metro systems have always been a driving force for technological and financial innovations. Government and metro operators are constantly seeking solutions to improve reliability and customer service, lower fuel and maintenance costs, as well as increase efficiency and safety levels in operations. The Global Metro Projects Report provides updated information on the world's top 101 metro projects that present significant capital investment opportunities. These projects have a total existing network length of about 8,900 km and a proposed length of over 8,000 km. The report covers 51 countries representing about 80 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product. It presents the key information required to assess investment opportunities in the development of new lines, extension and upgrade of existing lines, rolling stock procurement and refurbishment, power and communication systems upgrades, fare collection, as well as station construction and refurbishment.

  • Presentación Metro Bilbao
    Impacto Económico, Social y Medioambiental de la Construcción y Explotación Metro Bilbao. 1987 - 2013 Antecedentes y Objetivos Han transcurrido ya 25 años desde el comienzo de las obras y 18 desde que Metro Bilbao inició su andadura y es evidente que el Metro ha supuesto un impacto individual y colectivo en el Área Metropolitana por razones muy diversas. De hecho, hoy es imposible concebirla sin Metro. Desde esta visión, Metro Bilbao desarrolló en el año 2003 su primer estudio de Impacto Económico, Social y Medioambiental con el objeto de conocer y cuantificar lo que había supuesto para Bizkaia y para la Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi (CAE) en términos de generación de riqueza, empleo y desarrollo social desde el momento inicial de concepción del proyecto, hasta el ámbito de explotación y construcción en el que se encontraba en dicho momento. En los años 2004 y 2006, se realizaron sucesivas actualizaciones de dicha medición. En 2013 se ha realizado la última actualización, aprovechando la mayoría de edad del suburbano y los 25 años del inicio de las obras, así como el avanzado estado de la construcción de la estación de Kabiezes, en Santurtzi, que inaugurándose en 2014, permitirá dar por concluida la Línea 2 en los términos proyectados. Impacto económico, social y medioambiental. Metro Bilbao 1987-2013 Pág.2 Antecedentes y Objetivos Con ello se pretende : . Valorar el efecto económico (1) de la construcción (a 25 años de su inicio) y de la operación (18 años) a través de la generación de nuevas actividades y su aportación a la riqueza para Bizkaia y para la C.A.
