The project to be developed by Ingerop and BEWS joint venture will develop includes the reconstruction of the current Renfe Regional Workshop, optimizing it and adapting it to the new functional needs.

 Objectives

The objectives also include the execution of the new segregated road tunnel between the Palomar bridge and the Santa Coloma boulevard. The purpose is to renovate the parking lot, as well as the train repair and maintenance areas of the current regional workshop. A building will be constructed beside the main building, a parking area for light vehicles, the roof of the main building will be conditioned for the future installation of photovoltaic panels, and the parking rail tracks and a section next to Paseo de Santa Coloma of the High Speed rail line and conventional lines will be covered. The structure of the new segregated road tunnel between the Palomar Bridge and Paseo de Santa Coloma will also be designed, with an exit access from the depot.

The project will be directed by the company BARCELONA SAGRERA ALTA VELOCITAT, S.A. (BSAV) and will be supervised by the technical services of RENFE, in everything that affects the depot, and by ADIF in everything that affects the coverage of the railway line.

Ingerop is deploying its expertise in architecture and railway infrastructure for the development of this urban integration initiative in Vilafranca del Penedès, on the outskirts of Barcelona. This construction project involves covering the existing line over two separate areas to reduce the impact of train traffic and improve urban continuity.

Accessibility to the station will also be optimised through new facilities that ease user movement. Ingerop is responsible for the architectural and structural design of railway infrastructure and stations, while integrating electrification systems and civil protection measures adapted to the constraints of the underground railway environment.

The installation of sound barriers will notably help reduce noise pollution and improve the comfort of local residents. The mission includes drafting the construction project, as well as providing support during the tender process and the initial phase of the works, incorporating technical and regulatory requirements.

Finally, special attention will be given to critical components for safety and reliability, such as bogies, car bodies, braking equipment, the traction system and safety systems.
