Below, a selection of some of the largest projects in execution.

> Railways

RER3 Go Expansion On-Corr Project. Toronto - Ontario (Canada).
Mega-project for a complete renovation of the GO TRANSIT system, commuter rail in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It covers the renewal and extension of the existing rail infrastructure including electrification, supply of railway rolling stock, and maintenance and operation of the network for 25 years.

Railway contracts in Romania (Romania). Rehabilitation of the Sighisoara-Atel and Atel-Micasasa sections of the Brasov - Simeria railway line. Rehabilitation of the Barzava-Ilteu and Gurasada-Simeria sections of the Curtici-Simeria railway line on the Romanian-Hungarian border. Upgrading of the Caransebes-Timisoara-Arad railway line: section Lugoj-Timisoara Est. Upgrading of the Cluj-Episcopia Bihor railway line: section Alesd-Poieni.

Modernization of the Western Line, Mira Sintra / Meleças – Caldas da Rainha section, between km 20+320 and 107+740. Subsection B: Torres Vedras-Caldas da Rainha (Portugal).
The main actions are the rectification of some curves on the railway layout, the electrification of the line, and interventions in 6 stations and 3 halts, with the creation of passenger docks with minimum lengths of 150 m and technical rooms to accommodate the command and control equipment for circulation and telecommunications.

Access to La Sagrera Station (Barcelona, España). The works consist of the execution of the access sections to the future La Sagrera Station and the two lines Villafranca-Maçanet and Vilanova-Mataró, which will be placed between screens in the lower level of the same, as well as the platform where the Madrid-Barcelona-French border high-speed line will be located, which is available over the previous ones. The layout of the commuter tracks is depressed at the entrance of the station and returns to ascend to the initial level at the exit of it, while the High Speed line would have a substantially horizontal layout.

Track assembly and execution of installations in technical areas for trains at La Sagrera (Barcelona, España). The contract for the main work has been complemented with the track assembly contract, which includes the complete work for the commissioning of the high-speed tracks at La Sagrera, and the contract for the architecture and installations of the technical treatment area for trains (A and B phases).

Arterial railway network of Valladolid. East by-pass. Railway substructure and civil works (Valladolid, España). It has a total length of 17.5 km, with 2 branches in the initial section and two provisional links with the current route at the beginning and end of the section. A variant in Iberian gauge will be developed, mainly for the transport of merchandise, on which will be located a New Railway Complex, which will have access in international gauge. The layout in plan with design speed of 160 km / h, runs on the surface along its entire length except in 2 km in which the ground runs underground, being mostly false tunnel. The type section of the platform is suitable for a double track of Iberian gauge with an entree of 4.0 m, although in a zone of 6 km the platform is extended to accommodate a third track in UIC gauge, to be installed in the future. As for the structures, the variant has 1 viaduct, 5 underpasses, 8 overpasses and a pedestrian walkway. The most unique structure is the viaduct of "Los Tramposos", on the N-601 road, with a total length of 1,130.5 meters.

Construction of the freight terminal of the railway complex and its connection with Valladolid’s new arterial railway network (Valladolid, España).
Construction of the freight terminal of the new arterial network’s railway complex. It has a set of tracks for the entry, exit and formation of trains, and a loading/unloading area consisting of a concrete slab 750 m long by 50 m wide.

Track duplication of the R-3 commuter line. Parets del Vallés - La Garriga section. Track and electrification (Barcelona, España). Track duplication in a 16 km section including platform and track, structures (9 viaducts, 7 overpasses, 9 underpasses, 28 walls), drainage (19 culverts for drainage, ditches, collectors), electrification (catenary), railway installations, and restoration of affected services and easements.

Undergrounding of Renfe's R2 commuter line in Montcada i Reixac (in Vallès Occidental, Barcelona, Spain). The project includes the construction of the new station in this municipality and will involve an unprecedented urban and railway transformation, due to the diversity and technical and constructive complexity.

Complete remodelling of Fuente de San Luis Station for the implementation of standard gauge track (Valencia, España).
Renovation of the superstructure of the mixed gauge track or adaptation to this gauge where it does not yet exist on the general track and on a large part of the rail yard, including optimisation of the geometry. Other works to be carried out are the creation of new platform to sort rail tracks, and the adaptation of the drainage, electrification, railway installations, services and easements and auxiliary installations to the new track configuration.

> Metro and Metropolitan Infrastructures

Riyadh Metro. Lines 4, 5 and 6 (Saudi Arabia). The project includes the design and construction of lines 4 (yellow), 5 (green) and 6 (purple), which will have 25 stations for which 64.6 kilometers of subway tracks will be required, 29.8 kilometers of viaducts, 26.6 kilometers of underground roads and 8.2 kilometers of surface roads. For the construction of the three lines, two Tunnel Boring Machines of the type TBM (tunnel boring machine), of 9.77 meters in diameter, were used to excavate complete section tunnels.

Lima Metro. Line 2 and branch line 4 (Peru). The project includes the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of Line 2 of the Lima Metro and a branch of Line 4, which will reach the airport, for an amount of 3,900 million euros.
