Activities by year |
In 2023, we have continued the maintenance of the Haramain High Speed Railway in Saudi Arabia, managing to maintain high quality standards throughout our operations. In addition, we have fully realized the prestressed concrete monobloc sleepers for the rehabilitation of 28 km on the metric gauge railway line between Kampala and Malaba (Uganda), demonstrating our ability to manage complex projects and deliver high quality results. In Spain, we have successfully completed the Maintenance Service of the Electrical Installations of the ADIF-Alta Velocidad Telecommunications Parks in various provinces and we have almost completed the construction of the new Fuencarral II high-speed workshop, the largest railway workshop built by RENFE FABRICATION AND MAINTENANCE to date.
Saudi Arabia
In the project of the high-speed line between the cities of Makkah and Medina, we have continued the operation service. During 2023 we have continued with the maintenance tasks of the infrastructure and the track superstructure while the operation of the passenger line has been carried out. It is worth mentioning the performance of adjustment and maintenance tasks of both high-speed and conventional track devices; periodic geometric monitoring of the track and dynamic monitoring of the track with accelerometer equipment integrated into a commercial train at a speed of 300 km/h; as well as the performance of the auscultation of the rails with ultrasound equipment. We have also carried out the annual grinding of the track in order to achieve greater durability of the rail using a grinding train made up of three units. With regard to the preventive, corrective and inspection tasks of track maintenance, the company has the complete equipment of machinery, auxiliary elements and specialized human resources for the total and autonomous development of the tasks provided for in the Comprehensive Maintenance Plan for the high-speed track.
We are closely following the high-speed activity in the region and are present in several ongoing tenders.
Spain
- During 2023, the construction project for the new Fuencarral II high-speed workshop and the self-propelled track yard at the Madrid Norte Complex has made significant progress. We are pleased to report that the workshop hall is already 100% finished. With continued and sustained progress on the rest of the facilities, we estimate to complete and deliver the work fully completed by June 2024. This breakthrough reaffirms our commitment to excellence and the ability to meet deadlines on high-scale projects.
- In 2023 we have successfully advanced in the Maintenance Service of the Electrical Installations of the ADIF-Alta Velocidad Telecommunications Parks in various provinces. This project is essential to ensure the efficiency and security of high-speed telecommunications infrastructures. Thanks to our specialized team and the implementation of state-of-the-art maintenance practices, we are ensuring the continuity and reliability of these critical services.
- In 2023, the work of emptying, containment and execution of the structure up to ground level of the residential building at Calle Hermosilla 47, Madrid, was successfully started and completed. This project has been a technical challenge that we have overcome thanks to our experience and a highly qualified team. Not only does the work comply with all quality and safety standards, but it has also been executed within the established deadline, demonstrating our ability to manage and complete complex projects in urban environments.
- In 2023, the "06/10 Bajo Iregua Outfall Project" in La Rioja has progressed successfully. This critical project for the region's water infrastructure has been managed accurately and efficiently. Through meticulous planning and the use of advanced technologies,
- At the end of 2023, we were awarded the first phase of the rail access branch project to the New Cadiz Container Terminal. This project is crucial to improve the connectivity and efficiency of freight transport in the region. With a focus on accuracy and quality, we have started the works in January 2024 and estimate to complete them in May 2025. This project reinforces our expertise in railway infrastructure and our commitment to the sustainable and efficient development of transport networks.
Uganda
- In 2023, the manufacture of sleepers for the 28 km rehabilitation project of the Kampala – Malaba line in the Kampala – Mukono section was successfully completed. This factory, the first of its kind in the country, is currently waiting to start production of prefabricated sleepers for new sections of URC's metric gauge line, which will allow new renovation work on the railway line to be undertaken during 2025.
Egypt
- Preparation of offers for track renovation and deepening in the establishment of alliances in the market for the manufacture of prestressed concrete sleepers.
Iraq
We have continued to work on opening the Iraqi market, exploring other international markets and developing new strategic alliances to expand our operations. In particular:
- We are currently collaborating with the Iraqi Ministry of Transport in the definition of a PPP project for the construction of a new high-speed corridor between the holy cities of Karbala and Najaf.
- During 2024 we will carry out the design of a 36 km long double-track section between the towns of Basra and Salamanch, whose works will begin in early 2025.
