This new urban area will have a particularly environmentally sensitive design that optimises energy efficiency and supply and waste management<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In addition to the two areas described (commercial platform area and technical train management area) there is a third area, which, though not connected to the previous areas, is very close to them. This is a workshop area with reception and working tracks equipped with pits, directly connected to the tracks in the technical train management area, without having to occupy the main track to go from one area to another.<\/p>\n
The intermodal nature of La Sagrera node makes this facility a station of stations. In fact, in addition to everything that has been said about high-speed services, there is also a section devoted to commuter and regional train services on two lines of the conventional network: the line from Barcelona to Matar\u00f3 and the line from Barcelona to Granollers, which continues to Girona and Portbou. In addition, the station is complemented by an underground intercity bus station and the connection with two lines of the Barcelona underground network (lines L4 and L9\/L10). All of this is organised into a structure formed by three main levels: on the lower level of the station, the tracks of the conventional network (four tracks of the Barcelona-Matar\u00f3 line and four tracks of the Barcelona-Granollers line with their respective platforms); on the intermediate level, the station hall (with a part for commuter users; another part for high-speed users) and on both sides of the hall, a parking area for cars; and lastly, on the upper level, the international-gauge tracks and their platforms for high-speed services.<\/p>\n

Currently, the execution of the works is at the point where, having completed the curtain walls that surround the lower level of the station, the floor slab (2.5 metres thick) and having finished the first slab, the line from Barcelona to Matar\u00f3 has been put into service inside the station structure and its accesses. Of course, trains have not yet started to pick up and drop off passengers, but merely passing through the heart of the future station undoubtedly represents a major milestone. Subsequently, a similar procedure will be followed for the line from Barcelona to Granollers, and lastly, the high-speed line will move from its current provisional alignment to its definitive location inside the station.<\/p>\n
The work on La Sagrera station goes beyond what has been described here: its scope goes as far as constructing a piece of Barcelona. The station is also a part of the city. It is located on a railway corridor along which three railway lines run, which will no longer be above ground and will be covered by a city park. With its 40 hectares, this will be the largest urban park in the city, running above the train tracks over a distance of 3.7 kilometres. Its construction is associated with the urban development of the old railway area of La Sagrera, which, from the generation of 1.25 million m2<\/sup> of buildable roof, will mean the creation of housing for 25,000 inhabitants at the end of the whole process (more than 40%, will be protected housing), as well as generating some 30,000 jobs throughout the area.<\/p>\nTHE EVOLUTION OF THE WORK IN PICTURES. \/ PHOTOS_ADIF ALTA VELOCIDAD<\/p><\/div>\n
This new urban area will have a particularly environmentally sensitive design that optimises energy efficiency and supply and waste management. In this respect, groundwater will be used for the irrigation system for the landscaped areas and the sewer tanks of the tertiary buildings; there are also plans to implement a centralised air-conditioning system, which will use the waste heat from an existing incineration plant in cold weather and will provide cooling by using sea water; the buildings will have pneumatic waste collection and will be connected to a state-of-the-art telecommunications network, all in accordance with the criteria of a truly smart city.<\/p>\n
As a result of all this, a new gateway is being built in Barcelona, La Sagrera station, and this gateway will serve not only those who enter and leave the city, but also introduce more efficient, attractive and sustainable form of mobility, based on multimodality. Given the urgency of the situation, we cannot falter in our fight against climate change: this work is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
