In February 2006 a Consortium including Dimetronic, Alcatel and Siemens was awarded by ADIF with the contract for the “Project for the installation of the interlocking, train protection system, telecommunications, GSM-R radio, associated elements and Centralised Traffic Control for the sections Madrid-Segovia and Valdestillas-Valladolid of the new railway corridor to the North and Northwest of Spain, Madrid-Segovia-Valladolid/Medina del Campo”. This 100 km long project is split in two separate sections. Both sections start at the currently ongoing Segovia-Valdestillas section, whose signalling and telecommunications works were also awarded to a consortium including Dimetronic. The first section between Madrid and Segovia will link the section under construction with Spain’s capital through the tunnels of San Pedro (8.905 m) and Guadarrama (28.697 m). The section between Valdestillas and Valladolid links the Castilian capital with the ongoing section. The crossing of the Guadarrama - including two tunnels of over 28 km each already dug by four TMBs, will become at its commissioning the longest railway tunnel in the Iberian Peninsula and the fifth in length in the world. This contract will complete the High Speed Line between Madrid and Valladolid – commissioning being foreseen for the end of 2007. The line will link the two cities in less than one hour. Within the Consortium, Dimetronic will be responsible for the design, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of the Signalling system along the line, including Westrace electronic interlocking and associated Local Control Panels, network communications, Juridical Recorder and Maintenance Aid System. Westrace will be controlling all Signalling equipment along the track. The scope of Dimetronic includes also the national ASFA train protection system and the section’s Centralised Traffic Control, CTC.
