Design and Construction
This project included the expansion of the yard by 10 km of track with 8 sets of No. 10 switches for the reception and dispatch of 100 additional Automaxes and three Automax car loading spurs. Mechanical soil studies, environmental impact studies and hydrological studies were carried out. Formalities with CNA, SCT, FXE and Semarnat. A 1.5 km extension of the consolidation track (ladero) was built on FXE’s right-of-way for dispatching units.
Design and engineering, executive project and permits were completed. Construction of 100,000 m³ of earthworks, 1.5 km of retaining walls, drainage, signaling of 5 level crossings and construction of 10 km of track with concrete sleepers, elastic fastening, welded 115RE rail, and the installation of 13 sets of No. 10 AREMA switches.
