It has been a great honour for Grupo Azvi and its Mexican subsidiaries, Construcciones Urales and Cupisa, to have been involved from the very outset in the execution of the Mexico–Toluca Interurban Train. Now, with the commissioning of the Santa Fe–Observatorio section this strategic project has been officially inaugurated in its entirety by the s President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum.
During the official ceremony, the president highlighted the commitment and responsibility of the companies involved represented in our case by engineer Julio Cruz in meeting the established deadlines and delivering “El Insurgente” with the highest quality standards.
Project highlights:
- Construction of more than 78 km of slab track across viaducts, open track sections, and tunnels.
- Installation of 35 km of flexible catenary and 5 km of rigid catenary in tunnels.
- Overcoming major technical challenges as the alignment passes through viaduct areas, mountainous terrain, and densely populated urban areas.
- Supply of materials to heights of up to 80 m in certain sections.
In this landmark infrastructure project for metropolitan mobility, Construcciones Urales and Cupisa have contributed their full technical expertise to a project set to revolutionize mobility in the Valley of Mexico, benefiting over 100,000 passengers every day.
Great job! Great team!
