Azvi begins concreting the upper slab of the Seville Metro Line 3 tunnel

Azvi has begun concreting the upper slab of the tunnel it is building on Seville Metro Line 3, with nearly 300m already completed. The slab includes a series of openings to excavate inside the tunnel. Excavated material will be removed through these openings and then disposed of from the surface. This procedure enables excavation to continue beneath the completed slab

Works on the OGI axle gauge changer at Irún station completed

Azvi has completed the installation of an automatic OGI gauge-changing facility at Irún station, including the associated track and electrification works. The project, on the Madrid–Hendaye line, forms part of a pilot test for the use of this technology in commercial freight services, enabling trains to run between networks with different track gauges by automatically changing the gauge of their axles. As this is an experimental installation, the works have been carried out with the least possible impact on the activity of the intermodal terminal and without modifying the existing interlocking system. The OGI system enables trains equipped with variable-gauge axles to automatically adapt their gauge when travelling across different railway networks. This technology contributes to: Eliminating break-of-gauge points. Avoiding axle changes or the transshipment of goods between wagons. Reducing journey times and logistics costs. Improving the interoperability and competitiveness of rail freight transport.

Transforming Madrid Chamartín-Clara Campoamor Station

The transformation of this station marks a turning point for one of Spain’s main railway hubs. At Azvi, as part of the joint venture with COMSA, Vías y Construcciones and San José, we are proud to have been involved in a project that has redefined the station’s capacity, functionality and the travel experience of millions of passengers. The station has undergone a major transformation: a main concourse four times larger than before, new high-speed rail tracks and platforms, a complete overhaul of the commuter rail facilities, improved accessibility and intermodality, and infrastructure designed to meet the mobility demands of the future. All of this was achieved without interrupting
