📋 Tender Overview
* With this action, the capacity of the lines whose trains pass through the Sol Tunnel, which will have one more route, benefiting travelers of lines C-3 and C-4 is increased * In addition, the platform 5 is enabled for travelers of the C-5 and the old route of section 10 becomes direct route of circulation * All this will facilitate the management of the traffic, especially in case of incidence * Some of the work affects the work What Renfe will reinforce the service with 20,000 additional places per day, between July 2 and August 30 Adif advances in the implementation of a new road scheme (4+4+2) in nearby atocha that, with a global investment of 54 million euros, will increase capacity, improve railway exploitation and speed traffic in case of incidence. The works, collected in the Madrid Cercanias Plan, enter a new phase that will affect the circulation, between July 2 and August 30, so Renfe will reinforce the service with 20,000 additional seats per day, increasing the offer in lines C-4 and C-10 at peak hours. With this action, the capacity of the lines whose trains pass through the Sun Tunnel, which will have one more route, which directly benefits travelers from lines C-3 and C-4 will increase. In addition, the platform 5 is extended, which serves the roads 9 and 10, to increase its capacity and thus allocate it to the uprising/drop of travelers of the C-5 line. Likewise, route 10 ceases to be a section of section little used to convert directly for trains to/from ambassadors. In addition, it is allowed that route 8 work as a section for line C-5 in case of incidence. With all these actions, circulation management will be improved at the Athocha station near, which last year recorded 88 million users. To date, the works - initiated last year - have developed without affecting traffic and have focused on three main areas: platform 5 and route 10, the new connection between the ambassadors and suns tunnels, and the expansion of the mango tracks. Initially, this new phase of the works was planned to begin last January, but the support works of the A5 Highway and the consequent reinforcement of the C-5 line of nearby motivated that, in common agreement with the Madrid City Council and the Regional Transport Consortium (CRTM), they were postponed to the summer months, when a minor demand for transport in the Madrid network is recorded. The main actions of the summer The main actions planned for this summer focus on the connection of the 10th road with the main diagonal of Atocha, so that the trains that circulate on other ways can access the 10 and vice versa, as well as the execution of a new exhaust between tracks 9 and 10. This action will improve the operation of the existing roads. In the northern zone a new escape between tracks 8 and 9 will also be installed, before turning to the ambassadors tunnel. At the same time, lane renewal, ballast and mischievous work will be carried out in the links between the 10/9 and 8/9 roads, to give continuity to the road that runs from Atocha to ambassadors. The installation of the electrification (catenary, brackets, etc.) will also be carried out in all the areas in which it has not been previously installed when being in service. At the same time, new channels, cable lines, rail signaling, as well as the renewal of hardware and software will be executed. In the southern part of the station, the connection between all nearby roads will be improved, with the installation of a new journey that connects with the main diagonal. Carril, ballast and mischievous will also be renewed in the link areas, new electrification (posts, porches, catenary, etc.), channeling, new wiring and signaling will be installed. During the summer, road renovation work will also be carried out on road 7, catenary and installation of a track device in the new connection between the new connection tunnel and the suns sun. New scheme 4+4+2 The configuration of roads in a scheme 4+4+2 in the northern header, compared to the current roads 1 to 4 to the Recoletos tunnel, tracks 5 to 8 to the Sun Tunnel and tracks 9 and 10 to the ambassadors tunnel. The station is mostly used by nearby trains, although they also have various medium and long distance services of Iberian width. The trains that go to/from the south and have origin/destination at the Chamartin station, circulate through the Sun Tunnel and park on a long time, since they have greater times of rise and downstairs of travelers, which causes trains of vicinity coming from sun to stop in the tunnelto have a free road to access Atocha, slowing down the circulation. With the new scheme, Sun trains will have one more way to circulate and these waiting times can be reduced. To establish the new road scheme it is necessary, among other actions, connect the ambassadors tunnel with the sun (via 8 with via 7 in the northern header); create a new escape between tracks 9 and 10; Expand the platform 5, remodel route 10 and connect it with the main Atocha diagonal. In addition, it is necessary to build new mango roads and move some diagonals, to facilitate the passage of the trains of one -way to others. In addition, the control, control and signaling (CMS) facilities to the new exploitation scheme must be adapted. To do this, the field elements (drives, signals, road circuits, beacons, etc.) are modified depending on the track configuration and the location of the new devices. Likewise, the interior teams of the interlocks - devices that allow controlling the circulation - and centralized traffic control (CTC) are adapted. The action is completed with works in the wiring -adaptation or new deployments -, both of the signaling and telecommunications systems. This action contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Objective (SDGs) 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), which has among its goals the development of reliable, sustainable, resilient and quality infrastructure.
