Adif selected a consortium composed of Alstom, Siemens Rail Automation and CAF Signalling to install the ERTMS level 1 train safety and protection system which starts in the Atlantic Corridor this month, on the La Coruña-Santiago and Santiago-Vigo links.
The works to install the ERTMS (1) level 1 train safety and protection system will start in the Atlantic Corridor this month, on the La Coruña-Santiago and Santiago-Vigo links.
The value of the project is EUR 63.2 million and, in addition to the installation of the safety and traffic control system the consortium will also maintain it for 20 years.
Alstom will install its Atlas 100 solution, for ERTMS level 1 between Redondela and Villagarcía de Arousa (35 km of dual track) on the Vigo-Santiago high-speed section of the Atlantic Corridor. This link has Alstom Smartlock interlockings. The company will also install an ERTMS control centre with Atlas technology.
Siemens will install its Trainguard Futur 1300 for Level 1 ERTMS on the Vilagarcía de Arousa – Santiago – Cerceda link, where the interlockings use Siemens Trackguard Westrace technology; and on the Cerceda – La Coruña link. Siemens will also install two new ERTMS control centres with Trainguard Futur technology to control the Atlantic Corridor train protection systems.
CAF Signalling will install its Level 1 ERTMS AURIGA system on the Vigo-Urzaiz – Redondela high-speed link, which currently uses electronic interlocking with QUASAR S3e CAF Signalling technology.
Each member of the Consortium will install its ERTMS system on connections where they have previously installed signalling technologies.
