Connecting Line 1 tram with Carmen district takes another step.
The Governing Board has given its approval to the award of the Feasibility Study for the connection of the existing tram line 1 from the Plaza Circular to Station de El Carmen, in favor of the Joint Venture formed by TRN Engineering and Mecsa .
In total there have been thirteen deals of which two were rejected for lack of technical report.
Although the offer presented by this joint venture was the second technically, is positioned as the first economically, reducing by 35% the initial budget.
So, this feasibility study is a cost of 95,364 euros, when the planned investment amounted to 150,000 euros.
These engineering firms have also demonstrated a consolidated experience as TRN Engineering has developed, among others, the feasibility study of the train-Villablino Ponferrada, informative study abroad Round of Valladolid, informative study of high performance rail corridor Córdoba -Jaén, the construction management of the LRT Line 1 of Granada or the study of the path of the extension of the 7 train to Madrid.
Meanwhile Mecsa experience brings as conducting feasibility studies and platforms reserved tram in Valladolid, Majadahonda, Vitoria and Santander.
The feasibility study will be ready within seven months since its development has a period of four months, to which must be added a month to present arguments, one for the last month and a resolve to carry out the final report.
The Completion of the study team will be composed of a lawyer, an economist, an engineer an engineer of roads, canals and ports and an environmental expert.
Among the most significant will be making the following should be noted:
?
It carried out an analysis of the current tram system to know its features in detail.
?
It will carefully consider the connectivity and joint management with existing Line 1
?
It will determine the stops of the new section in accordance with the conclusions of the study of demand
?
It carried out an analysis of opportunities for exploitation by simulating marches, ie speed data business, operating ranges, time traveled, number of units needed, line capacity and power lines.
Moreover, as the specification improvement, the UTE will conduct a reordering of public transport and a study of urban and landscape integration.
Also, and as improvement, there will be a traffic study reordering both 'indirect impact' (how does the new section of the tram to the city overall traffic) as the 'direct impact' (which occurs on the road inserted on the layout of the new tram line).
Similarly the impact study of the project will be supported by a comparative study of real cases, analyzing the economic and social effects observed following the introduction of the tram lines in the central of Zaragoza and Tenerife, studying the revitalization of the historic center, the impact in trade and tourism, environmental appreciation, time savings, improved road safety and environmental
In its bid, the companies estimate that will make use of this new axis around 20,000 passengers a day in both directions.
The subject area covers the area between the Plaza Circular and Station del Carmen.
This extension will run along Gran Vía and study different alternatives for access to the station will depend on the width of the road, among other things.
Furthermore, as noted in the statement, we will analyze the possibilities of eliminating catenary between at least the Plaza Circular and Square González Conde
