Adif will devote 2.9 million euros to modernizing the equipment of the four substations located on the Abando Indalecio Prieto-Casetas conventional intermodal railway line, as it passes Navarre and La Rioja. The actions included in the project aim to achieve a significant improvement in traffic continuity and reliability.
The facility modernization project affects substations of Tudela de Navarra, Castejón, Calahorra and Alcanadre. The contract, awarded to the Moyale company, includes the work necessary for the installation of protections, the replacement of electric variators, analysis panels and disconnectors.
Likewise, among other actions, the battery charger equipment will also be replaced, the protection disconnectors of the feeder cells by bipolar disconnectors, including a new transmission and a new manual drive. Feeder lines are the conductors responsible for supplying the catenary (overhead contact line) from the substations.
Substations are facilities located along railway lines that are responsible for receiving electrical power and adapting it to the characteristics required by the network. type of electrification of the line they must supply.
These actions contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), just like number 9 which promotes sustainable, reliable and quality infrastructure.
