COMMISSIONED IN RELEVANT PROJECTS
For the Administrator of Railway Infrastructures ADIF
Madrid-Galicia High Speed Line: In addition to the design, installation and maintenance of the ERTMS N2, Thales has been in charge of the axle counters, switch drives, detectors of falling objects on the track and wheel sensors and the fixed telecommunications system, and construction of part of the technical buildings and signalling cabins. Thales has also been responsible for the deployment of the signalling solution on the conventional line to avoid the effects of the High Speed. It will also be responsible for the maintenance of all the systems installed until the end of 2035.
Execution of the signalling installations, train protection systems, fixed telecommunications, video surveillance and centralised traffic control on the Chamartín-Torrejón de Velasco section. With 37 kilometres of section, the project includes the Atocha-Chamartín tunnel, which is just over 7 kilometres long, as well as the maintenance of the installations for 36 months.
Commissioning of the signalling and detection systems project on the Humanes-Montearagón section (100 km), CTC from Seville and detection equipment between Talavera-Monfragüe (132 km), including fixed telecommunications between Humanes-Monfragüe.
Commissioning of new electronic interlockings at Tortosa and Campredó stations, and modification of the one at L'Aldea to achieve better management of train movements, communications and signalling, as a result of the award of a contract by Adif. At the same time, circulation cabinets and the installation of Local Operations Posts (PLO) are some of the improvement actions carried out with Thales technology on this section of the R16 line of the suburban and medium-distance rail service.
The safety installations at Irún station have been modernised, specifically the old safe traffic control or interlocking system, made with electrical technology based on relays, which dated from 1990, has been replaced by a state-of-the-art Thales technology Electronic Interlocking, with the consequent increase in safety, comfort, sustainability and reliability. From a technological point of view, the biggest challenge that these works have posed for Thales has been the non-interruption of passenger and freight train traffic. This commissioning is the first phase of a contract that continues with the transformation of the station's track bed.
On the Mediterranean Corridor, more than 35 DMM mixed turnouts have been put into service on tracks in operation, which involves the assembly and adjustment of around 150 L700H drives and a dozen Evaluators, both of which are our own technology.
The company has carried out auxiliary civil works, cable laying, terminal boxes and field wiring for the tramway network linking Chiclana de la Frontera with San Fernando. On the other hand, it has been necessary to install new exit, entry and advanced signals in different PKs to the original ones; as well as to signalise the first section of the new connection between the Bahia Sur railway station and the La Ardila tramway station with ADIF requirements. In Chiclana, both the base and the maintenance workshops and the command and control post for the tramway section up to the La Ardila exit have been built. The entire project has been put into service and only the ADIF section will be in operation in 2019. The tramway section will come into operation in 2022.
Commissioning and operation of the new track layout between Huércal and Almería, in order to adapt to future routes compatible with the Murcia-Almería high-speed line. The new underground entrance to Almería station and the new route between Huércal and Almería have been brought into service, installing a new electronic interlocking for the blocking ratio and introducing the new Thales track circuits.
Commissioning and operation of the Tamarguillo Triangle track interlocking and the new electronic interlocking at La Negrilla in Seville, enabling ADIF to decommission the last GRS free connection interlocking at the Seville Headquarters. New Thales track circuits have been installed in both stations in coexistence with the existing track circuits.
