Antea Group Spain will draw up the plans for a key facility for the future of urban transport in Guadalajara.
Guadalajara (Spain).
Antea Group Spain has been awarded the contract for comprehensive technical assistance, the scope of which is to define the facilities for the future depots, workshops, electrical infrastructure and associated urban development that will support the urban public transport service in the city of Guadalajara. The scope of the contract includes the preparation of all necessary preliminary studies, including a topographical survey, a geotechnical study and a hydrological and hydraulic study, as well as the complete drafting of the construction project, which will enable the subsequent tendering process for the works on the new facilities.
The project will be carried out in the Henares Industrial Estate, in the vicinity of Avenida de Roanne and Calle Guadalajara-Jalisco, and will include the comprehensive development of the site, the construction of a workshop building with technical and administrative spaces, parking and manoeuvring areas for buses, washing facilities, service networks and specific infrastructure for the electric recharging of vehicles.
This project is a key element of the local authority’s strategy to modernise public transport and advance the transition towards more sustainable, efficient and emission-free mobility. The facilities to be designed are intended to meet the operational needs of an increasingly electrified fleet, incorporating the technical, environmental and safety requirements demanded for this type of facility.
This new contract reinforces the solid experience of Antea Group Spain in the development of infrastructure linked to electric mobility and the decarbonisation of transport. Among the most significant projects in this field carried out by the company are the works undertaken for AENA, where it has participated in the installation of 1,950 charging points for electric vehicles at various airports across Spain and 530,000 photovoltaic panels totalling more than 316 MW of installed capacity.
Furthermore, Antea Group Spain has carried out, on behalf of the Madrid Municipal Transport Company (EMT), the site management for the installation of 170 bus chargers using pantograph technology and 50 pedestal chargers, as well as 1,665 photovoltaic panels totalling 1 MW of installed capacity – one of the largest public transport fleet electrification projects undertaken in Spain. In addition, the company has collaborated with VEIASA, a body under the Regional Government of Andalusia, on the roll-out of charging infrastructure at various vehicle inspection points across the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, and with the Provincial Council of Pontevedra on the roll-out of public recharging points (PVRE) in various local councils.
