Main products and services

Thanks to its comprehensive, multidisciplinary and technological approach, Ineco has remained a leading player in Spain in the railway sector, with a solid track record that began more than 50 years ago. Among the main projects carried out at national level are the continuation of the works for the modernisation and extension of Atocha Station, the works carried out at Ourense station, the extension of Valencia-Joaquín Sorolla station and the design of the works for the construction of the access canal to Valencia. The construction and commissioning of the high-speed line to Murcia and the new Atocha-Chamartín tunnel should be highlighted. On the other hand, in the international field, Ineco continues to work on large projects such as Rail Baltica, the consultancy project for the Paso de los Toros works in Uruguay, the Tren Maya in Mexico, and the analysis and evaluation of the technical regulations for Centralny Port Komunikacyjny Sp.z o.o. (CPK) and in the deployment and development of the ERTMS system on the nine main European corridors for the European Commission.

Activities by year

The liberalisation of the railway sector in Spain, getting back to normal after Covid-19 and the growing investment in the sector sponsored by the arrival of the funds associated with the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism have accelerated the need for changes and advances in the sector. Changes that Ineco has had to not only adapt to, but also promote in its role as the General State Administration`s own medium.
As part of the progress towards the aforementioned liberalisation of the network, during the year work continued on the drafting of the projects for the modernisation and extension of the Atocha station, the projects for the Ourense station, the Valencia-Joaquín Sorolla extension and the design of actions for the construction of the Valencia access canal were completed. Ineco has also played an active part in the execution and successful commissioning of the high-speed line to Murcia and the new Atocha-Chamartín tunnel, and continues to work actively on the access to Asturias and the improvement of the Ourense-Monforte-Lugo line.
At the same time, activities related to those challenges that commit us to sustainability have increased, with work as important for society as the start of a pilot project for the implementation of ERTMS on non-main lines, the design of a photovoltaic plant for ADIF in Miraflores de la Sierra and the performance of energy audits also for ADIF with the aim of reducing consumption.

Collaborative projects: works in which Ineco participates in coordination with other companies to achieve a common goal.

SHIFT2RAIL Program
Shift2Rail is the European Commission's sectoral program devoted to innovation in the railway sector. Ineco participates in it through its Open Calls, of which it has been awarded as part of several consortiums.

-OPTIMAL (2019-2022)
Develops several rail traffic control center demonstrators as specified by the Shift2Rail program. Ineco participates together with ADIF supporting our shareholder in the implementation of its demonstrator.

HORIZON 2020 Program

-RAILGAP (2020-2023)
It continues the work started with ERSAT GGC and addresses the integration of various sensors (GNSS, LIDAR, etc.) to define the "Ground Truth" of the train position. Ineco is leading the ground truth definition work package.

Strategic Line Projects of the State Research Agency (AEI)

-SMART BRIDGE (2021-2024)
Ineco, in collaboration with the Universities of Cordoba (UCO) and Granada (UGR) presented in May 2021 a proposal with the aim to meet the challenges identified in the strategic line "Predictive maintenance of infrastructure through intelligent systems" of the call for Strategic Line Projects of the State Research Agency (AEI) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation. The action is financed by EU NextGen funds through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

Europe´s Rail JU programme

- ERJU (2022-2026)
The ERJU programme brings together all the innovation in the railway sector sponsored by the European Commission. A Partnership has been established between the Commission and the European railway industry to promote the railway of the future. Ineco participates as an affiliate of ADIF. Throughout 2022 ERJU launched the first call for projects of its multi-year programme of works (2022-2026). Ineco was part of 5 proposals and all of them were awarded the contract.

Internal projects: Since 2011 Ineco has invested in its own projects for the development of high value-added products and services. Some of the projects to be highlighted in 2022 are:

- CHARLI:
Linear routing tool with machine learning, applied only to high speed and hyperloop, for the development of a tool capable of routing linear infrastructure in a few minutes, manually and automatically, characterising them, reflecting whether the infrastructure sections are above ground, elevated or underground.

- iPackage Factor Humano (iPackage Human Factor):
Incident analysis tool for railway operating environments related to human performance factors. Tools and methodologies development for the identification of critical factors affecting human performance, enabling the analysis of human fatigue, and providing an environment for the analysis of changes and their impact on human behaviour.

- Methodology for the identification of operational requirements and their transformation into ERTMS design rules:
Development based on the characterisation of operational requirements and their transformation into design rules in an automatic way.

- Efficient of railway infrastructure in BIM:
Automated creation of IFC files from the digitalisation of the infrastructure to generate a 3D twin in BIM.

- GEOF (Efficient Rail Operations Management):
Model to identify failure modes of infrastructure equipment and critical elements from a timeliness point of view.

 

Innovations
