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 55 years ago. Among the main projects carried out at national level are the completion of work on the Pajares railway bypass between Asturias and León, the integration of the railway in Valencia, the development of CMS systems for the new railway access branch to the port of Gijón and the continuation of work on the modernisation and extension of Atocha Station. In the international context, Ineco has continued to be present in major projects in Europe (implementation of ERTMS, high speed in the United Kingdom, Rail Baltica corridor), America (Tren Maya in Mexico) and Australia, with the Sydney commuter trains.

Top products: ENGINEERING AND CONSULTANCY: 1. Integration of the railway in Valencia. 2. Medellín-Bogotá Train.

If there is one thing that has characterised the railway industry in the last year, it has been its clear commitment to research, innovation and technological development, which has had a positive impact on the development of the sector. Taking advantage of the new tools offered by the market, Ineco has promoted its own developments for the improvement of railway infrastructures, such as the development of DIGAV, as well as maintaining its presence in major national railway projects such as the inauguration of the Pajares Bypass belonging to the Madrid-Asturias high-speed line. It has also launched a new project for the creation of the CMS for the railway access branch to the Port of Gijón. 
In the international context, the company has continued to be present in major railway projects in Europe (implementation of ERTMS, high speed in the United Kingdom, Rail Baltica corridor), America (Tren Maya in Mexico, Tren de Colombia, Panama metro), Israel, where it has been present for 12 years, and Australia, with the commuter trains in Sydney, among others. New contracts include the feasibility study for the development of the Medellín-Bogota railway in Colombia and the review of the technical standards for the development of the high-speed railway in Poland together with CPK.

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 dedicated 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 (2019-2023)
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.

HORIZONTE Program 2020

-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. Projects to be highlighted:

- 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.

At Ineco, innovation is understood as a fundamental lever for consolidating technical leadership, with the aim of continuing to provide clients and society as a whole with a differential, value-added service.
