Inside the JV team, Subterra is responsible for the Site Technical office,
Geotechnical aspects of the lot (slopes, embankments, foundations, earthworks
etc.) and Tunnels.

The section concerned is approximately 15.1km long and will run between the
municipalities of Tafalla and Campanas in the autonomous community of Navarre,
northern Spain. The work will be carried out by our client, state-owned railway
infrastructure manager ADIF.

> The Tafalla – Campanas section is an essential rail link in the ADIF
> programme, which aims to integrate Navarre into the Spanish high-speed rail
> network. This project represents a significant success for SYSTRA Subterra and
> we are delighted that our client has placed its trust in our teams to carry it

### A major national high-speed rail initiative

The Cantabrian-Mediterranean High Speed Railway Corridor is a significant
section of Spain’s railway network, intended to connect the Basque Country and
the autonomous community of Cantabria with the city of Valencia. It was
initially announced in 2004 and later incorporated into Spain’s 2005-2020
Strategic Infrastructure and Transport Plan.

### Benefits for the movement of freight and passengers

The project aims to facilitate the transport of freight and significantly reduce
passenger travel times. Once operational, the Valencia-Santander route is
expected to take just over four hours, compared with the previous journey time
of more than 12 hours.
