<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\tPLANNED WORK<\/h4>\nInfrastructure: civil engineering tunnel works<\/h5>\n\n- 1,166 metres of track box will be constructed between concrete walls<\/b>. The 590-metre long section of line will feature a cover slab<\/b> that will be constructed using the cut-and-cover tunnel system. The width of the box will range from 10.00 metres at the platform access and exit areas to 18.50 metres in the station itself. The height of the covered area is 6.5 metres along its entire length.<\/li>\n
- Execution of a central platform<\/b> 9 metres wide and a usable length of 410 metres.<\/li>\n
- Safety installations in the tunnel<\/b>, featuring signalling, emergency lighting and ventilation systems. A total of 5 emergency exits have been defined, in addition to access from the station.<\/li>\n
- Regarding drainage<\/b>, a drainage plan has been drawn up for the railway platform, featuring a network of collectors under the cover slab. A pumping system with a well will be used to extract the water collected by the drainage network and accumulated at the low point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Track superstructure<\/h5>\n\n- Execution of 1,636 metres of double track<\/b>. 1,180 metres<\/b> of this will be slab track, <\/b>with the remainder laid on ballast<\/b>. 3 track devices <\/b>will also be installed.<\/li>\n
- Demolition and construction of rail facilities and services<\/b> at the site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Electrification system<\/h5>\n\n- Work will be done to replace the existing track electrification system<\/b> and track devices for the access track to the locomotive workshops and to the planned track that will connect the tunnel works with the Iberian gauge track that currently allows access to Le\u00f3n station (3G).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Station building<\/h5>\n\n- Interior renovation and extension of the current passenger building<\/b>: the station will undergo internal modifications to rearrange its layout, and will be extended to the west to encompass the new underground railway track. As part of this extension, a vertical access space will be created with a new underground platform.<\/li>\n
- Reconfiguration and enlargement of the station\u2019s access road<\/b>: the area will be provided with a taxi stand, bus stop, kiss&ride area and parking reserved for ambulances and emergency vehicles. A new 76-space car park will also be created.<\/li>\n
- The upper slab of the tunnel works will be paved<\/b> to create a pedestrian walkway from Avenida del Doctor Fleming to the station. This walkway will run below the canopy of the old station\u2019s passenger building and will feature different covered skylights that will provide natural light and facilitate ventilation and extraction of fumes from the underground platform. This longitudinal walkway will integrate the space by removing the barrier created by the existing surface railway, providing a connection between the existing population centres on either side of the railway corridor above the new underground railway platform.<\/li>\n
- Restoration of the canopy of the old station\u2019s passenger building<\/b>. The canopy\u2019s metal structure will be restored by cleaning and the application of a protection system. The missing polycarbonate panels in the western fa\u00e7ade will also be replaced and the lighting system will be renovated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Installation of the new superstructure: type and reinforcement<\/h5>\n
The new track will be installed on ballast and concrete slab:<\/p>\n
\n- Installation of track on ballast<\/b> in the tunnel\u2019s uncovered section and secondary track centres.<\/li>\n
- Installation of the 3 track switching and crossing units on ballast<\/b>.<\/li>\n
- Installation of<\/b> EDILON EBS-SS 54E1 HR Pol with 25mm TRACKELAST STM\/RPU\/Blue mat and slab 0.60 metres thick in the tunnel section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All track installations will have a conventional gauge of 1,668 mm in phase one, and standard gauge in the future. The total track installation length is 3,598.33 metres, of which, 1,274 metres is track on ballast and the remaining 2,325 slab track.<\/p>\n

- Type 1 crushed-stone ballast:<\/strong> this track ballast will be obtained from approved quarries and will be used for track beds and track liftings. A total volume of 3,109.40 m3<\/sup> of ballast will be supplied, with 1,554.70 m3<\/sup> will be for track beds and the rest transported by hopper for track liftings.<\/li>\n
