Transport installations

We provide installations for the transport sector through our comprehensive and efficient services, drawing on our expertise in railways, airports, roads and unique buildings to do this.

At Ayesa, we have been designing installations for the transport sector for more than 30 years. Over this time, we have carried out a wide range of work spanning all the phases of projects, from conceptual through to detailed design. We also supervise construction work and are even involved in operations and maintenance. We offer an impressive range of comprehensive services, unrivalled by any national engineering firm.

We are a leader in the rail industry and have a portfolio featuring projects of all kinds, including metro systems, trams, light rail systems, conventional railways and high-speed lines. As such, we cover all the fields involved in the operation of railway lines and installations for stations as well as train and road tunnels. We are also experts when it comes to installations for roads, airports, ports and unique buildings.

Since being founded, we’ve been especially committed to creating sustainable systems of transportation. This sees us place particular emphasis on the optimal use of energy through well-thought-out and environmentally friendly designs. To do this, we invest in R&D projects aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of rail transport, and use our own simulation software to maximise energy efficiency.

Capabilities and technology

Overhead lines

We provide services for all the phases of railway electrification projects. Our work covers everything from conceptual design and calculations for electrical installations through to the detailed design of each component involved and installation supervision.

Substations and high-voltage installations

We design and supervise the construction of electrical substations, including traction, distribution and transformer substations, with or without sectionalising switches, for metro systems, trams and high-speed railway lines.

Signalling and telecommunication solutions

We have extensive experience in all the subsystems that make up railway safety and telecommunication systems. In fact, we hold two of Adif’s biggest framework contracts for the detailed design of railway signalling systems, and have undertaken major projects in various Latin American countries involving both intercity and mass rapid transit systems.

Mechanical installations

We are able to design all the subsystems that make up mechanical installations, and provide technical assistance to construction management teams in all the areas involved, placing sustainability and energy efficiency at the heart of our approach.

Electrical installations

We provide front-end designs, as well as provide technical assistance to construction management teams in all the areas and components involved in electrical installations, including medium-voltage systems, transformer substations, power engineering, indoor and outdoor lighting, earthing systems and lightning arresters.

Installations for airports and railway stations

We have extensive experience in designing and supervising all the installations required at airports and train stations, including electrical, electromechanical, ventilation, smoke/fume extraction, fire detection and suppression, sanitary, telecommunication and centralised control systems.
