SARMIENTO CITY LINE
The Argentine Ministry of Transport, through the railway company SOFSE (Sociedad de Operaciones Ferroviarias, Sociedad del Estado), has planned the complete rehabilitation of the existing historic Sarmiento line, about 36 km long from the peri-urban station of Moreno to the Once station near the downtown area of Buenos Aires. The line, currently in operation, is to be completely modernised and equipped with a new technological system capable of ensuring a 3 minute frequency and passenger loads comparable to a metro system, all in a highly urbanised area.
After two years of specialised preliminary designs, Italferr was identified by the G&S Consortium to play the role of Main Designer for the entire design, executive and construction support process of the project. Due to the complexity of the work, the volume of the services and their duration (5 years planned from March 2018 until the complete construction of the work), the initiative represented the most challenging project within Italferr's international activities.
The work was completed in 2019.
