Structure and Architecture
Comprehensive Engineering Services for Metro Systems
We offer multidisciplinary engineering services for the integral development of metro systems, encompassing both the design and coordinated management of all involved specialties.
Our proposal covers the entire project lifecycle: from preliminary studies and initial diagnostics through final testing and commissioning, ensuring efficient management through integrated planning, control, and monitoring.
We include the development of interface matrices and requirements plans, guaranteeing the proper integration between systems and disciplines.
Engineering Scope
We provide a multidisciplinary service covering the full project lifecycle:
Preliminary studies and diagnostics.
Conceptual, basic, and executive engineering.
Detail engineering and construction documentation.
Construction-phase Assistance and support.
Testing, commissioning, and start-up.
Engineering Specialties
Infrastructure and Underground Works
Advanced structural analysis and definition of construction methodologies
Tunnel design and calculation using the NATM method
TBM tunnel design, including assembly engineering, operation, and launch structures
Cavern station design (NATM) and cut-and-cover station design
Groundwater depression and pumping system design
Pumping station engineering and special structures (rectifier substations, ventilation rooms, emergency exits)
Engineering for complex crossings with significant interferences (existing metro lines, underground rivers, large stormwater and sewer collectors), including coordination and approval with concession holders
Architecture
Comprehensive architectural design for:
• Stations
• Maintenance Depots
• Parking Facilities
Each development encompasses:
• Needs assessment
• Room data sheets
• General layout
• Sizing and placement of technical areas
• Architectural detailing (walls, finishes, openings, flooring, and paving)
• Definition of material specifications and technical standards
Additionally, associated subsystems are integrated:
• Electrical installations
• Plumbing and sanitary/sewer systems
• Fire protection systems
• Means of egress
• Escalators and elevators
• Pumping pits
Railway and Electromechanical Systems
Track alignment engineering and railway geometry
Power and traction engineering
Ventilation systems (comfort and smoke control in fire scenarios)
Engineering and specifications for the procurement of escalators and elevators
Depot equipment
Interface Management
We develop and manage interface matrices that ensure proper integration between the following specialties:
Civil works
Track
Forced ventilation
Depot equipment
Power and traction
Signaling
Communications
Escalators and elevators
Rolling stock
SCADA systems
Our comprehensive approach minimizes risks, optimizes costs, and ensures technical coherence in high-complexity projects such as underground mass transit systems.
Innovative Solutions
We craft unique and innovative designs, working closely with our clients to bring their visions to life.
