The company continues with several civil works projects, technical assistance work and design and feasibility studies for the Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga metros. Track inspection and monitoring work is being carried out on the Malaga metro; different unique and regulatory projects are underway on the Barcelona metro in addition to monitoring work. Aside from the Framework Agreement projects, Ineco has been hired to provide technical assistance during the inspection of track cars in the Madrid metro.

With regard to Light Rail West –which connects the towns of Pozuelo de Alarcón and Boadilla del Monte to Madrid–, work includes speed validation studies. In 2004, Ineco carried out the construction of Light Rail West infrastructure and facilities.

Ineco is carrying out the Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) of lines L1 and L2 of the Panama Metro for the company Alstom. Specifically, Spanish public engineering is carrying out the ISA for the revision and adaptation of L1, in commercial service since April 2014, increasing its capacity. The new trains of this latest line will have five cars instead of three, and the fleet will include 26 trains instead of 20, involving modifications to the tracks and installations, new supplies and other complementary works. In relation to L2, the ISA includes all subsystems, amongst others, rolling stock, a signalling system, energy supply, supervision and control of trains, communications and SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition).

The ISA can only be performed by an accredited assessor and they are essential for ensuring that a new line is reliable and safe, and can enter into or continue in service. Ineco has the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) recognition as an inspection entity for the Independent Safety Assessment of railway applications at an international level. The company has been working for more than a decade carrying out independent safety assessments on the Spanish rail network, (see IT56).

Ineco has begun technical studies to modify the alignment and infrastructure of the line 5 track of the Madrid Metro. Specifically, the works –which were tendered within the Framework Agreement signed by both companies– refer to the section between the stations of Eugenia de Montijo and Aluche. The studies have the objective of increasing the speed in this section. The modification requires actions on foundations and structures, land treatment, soil-structure interaction, a study on filtration, alignment and the superstructure of the track, mapping, installations and environmental integration.
