📋 Tender Overview
Adif has carried out the load tests with satisfactory results on the new viaduct over the Tordera river on the Barcelona-Matar-Maanet conventional gauge line whose old structure was seriously affected by the storm Gloria last January.To carry out the load tests once the track assembly was completed a train made up of three locomotives was used with a total weight of 300 t which was positioned on several of the spans of the new structure to the static test and has performed 4 passes at different speeds for the dynamic test.In this way Adif continues to make progress in the work necessary to reestablish rail traffic between Malgrat de Mar and Blanes before the end of the year meeting the initial forecasts.In the following link you can download graphic material of the load testshttpsoan.adif.esindex.phpsAyFOgQ9oF1VJondThe action planned by Adif once the damage has been analyzed and the best technical solution has been evaluated It consisted of the construction of a new structure 221.3 m long divided into 5 spans with spans between 33.15 m and 51 m and 7.3 m of useful deck width. The foundations established for the execution of the piers have been made by piles with a depth of 45 m. These works represent an approximate investment of 8.6 million eurosOnce the track and catenary assembly has been completed the installation and telecommunications works are being carried out. At the same time all the documentation to obtain the mandatory approvals and authorizations prior to the commissioning of the new bridge is still being processed with the State Railway Safety Agency AESF.European fundingThis work contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals specifically SDG 9 Reliable sustainable resilient and quality infrastructures. The reconstruction works of the bridge over the Tordera river will be entrusted by the Solidarity Fund of the European Union.
