Maintenance of the Internal Circuit System for Television (ICTV) of Metro de Lisboa SICE SICE has received the awarding, from the company Metropolitano de Lisboa, EPE, for the contract of Preventive and corrective Maintenance Services of the Internal Circuit System for Television (ICTV) of the Lisbon metro network, includes more than 1750 surveillance cameras distributed along the four lines together with monitors, racks, keyboards and system control panels, which represents a total of more than 3.000 units. Lisbon has four independent lines, along 43 kilometers and 55 stations. It is a network designed in a global and intermodal way to optimize all the city resources for transportation. The Metropolitano de Lisboa is the backbone of urban transport of the city.

Because of the characteristics of the track (urban and underground) and to reduce the vibration and the noise, the railway will be con- structed on top of a floating slab, made up with precast reinforced concrete, and supported by elasto- mers, directly above the concrete base. The electrification works will be carried out using a rigid cate- nary system, type PAC-110 and an oval contact wire of 150 mm2, be- cause of the reduced gauge inside the tunnel. This solution, applied to underground tracks, enables the replacement of the contact wire by a supporting cable, reduc- es the use of feeders and, in case of a power outage, it allows the faster replacement of a contact wire section.
