SYSTRA awarded two new contracts for railway lines in Chile

These wins follow on from SYSTRA’s biggest ever project for EFE awarded in 2023 for work on the same railway lines. The assignments will be carried out in collaboration with teams from SYSTRA Ibérica & Hispanic America, and SYSTRA France.

Alameda Melipilla Train Project (TAM)

The project involves a 61-km line, covering 11 stations in 48 minutes. EFE estimates that more than one million residents will benefit from rapid access to Santiago thanks to this new line. SYSTRA Chile will carry out the detailed design studies for the tracks and catenary.

During this mission, we will carry out a track verification and provide our consulting expertise after the detailed design studies have been completed. These will cover:

• the incorporation, for both track and catenary systems, of temporary track diversions and comprehensive BIM modelling using ISTRAM and Civil 3D software.
• ensuring seamless coordination with Sacyr and EFE to optimise technical and economic aspects, actively managing interfaces according to the established Interface Management Plan.

We have a long history of effective collaboration with both EFE and Sacyr and we are pleased to have the opportunity to leverage the combined expertise of our teams to deliver innovative solutions for these railway projects which further reinforce SYSTRA’s reputation in Chile.
