Renovation of Line 1 of Metrovalencia

Lantania, in a joint venture with COMSA, is carrying out the comprehensive renovation and modernization works on Line 1 of Metrovalencia. The actions are taking place in the section between the Valencia Sud and Villanueva de Castellón stations on Line 1 of the Valencian metro, with a length of about 50 km.

The works mainly consist of replacing existing turnouts and the activation and modification of interlockings and centralised traffic control systems (CTC) due to changes in track configurations at some stations. Several branches will also have their tracks replaced, the most significant being the section between Paiporta- Torrent (3,600 m) and Espioca- Almaguer (1,880 m). In addition, the level crossings will be renovated, both for vehicles and pedestrians, which will involve refurbishing the track in the affected area. A Strail type level crossing which is made from a mixture of recycled and new rubber will also be installed.

The project includes the renovation of 45 detours, 37 level crossings, several sections of track renewal, sectional roads and related signaling and electrification actions.
