# SYSTRA to accompany the metro network in Lima, Peru

The Metro de Lima is a rapid transit system that serves the cities of Lima and
Callao, which together make up the Lima metropolitan area. The metro currently
has one line in operation linking the district of Villa El Salvador in the south
of Lima with San Juan de Lurigancho in the northeast of the city. There are five
additional lines planned for the network. Work is progressing with the first
trial run on Line 2 which took place on December 21, 2023.

The study will evaluate the impact of the construction method on the acquisition
of land and services interferences, to water and electricity supply for example,
during the execution phase of the project for the planned Line 3 of the Metro de
Lima. The assignment includes a comparative analysis of the construction methods
of the stations (Cut & Cover and Cavern) and the tunnels (TBM\* and NATM\*\*).

### A sustainable solution for Lima’s mobility issues

The absence of a comprehensive transport plan for Peru’s capital has aggravated
the issue of constantly increasing road traffic, leaving the metropolitan region
without a sustainable solution.

The Metro de Lima is providing that solution. By improving the quality of life
of citizens and driving economic progress in the country, the Metro de Lima
project qualifies as a major global infrastructure initiative that addresses
urban challenges.

\*\*The New Austrian tunneling method (NATM), also known as the sequential
excavation method (SEM) or sprayed concrete lining method (SCL), is a method of
modern tunnel design and construction employing sophisticated monitoring to
optimise various wall reinforcement techniques based on the type of rock
encountered as tunnelling progresses.
