Metrotenerife Secures Three International Tram, Metro Consulting Deals

Metrotenerife is expanding its business internationally, having recently won three contracts to provide technical advice. These contracts involve tram systems in Jaén (Spain) and Alexandria (Egypt), and Metro Line 1 in Monterrey (Mexico). In the last financial year, the Tenerife tram operator submitted 7 bids for technical projects, with decisions still pending on four of them.

Helping the Jaén Tramway

In Spain, a group of companies won the contract to provide technical help for the Jaén tram system to start running. They have chosen Metrotenerife to support the Andalusian Government's Mobility Department. This support includes creating all the necessary documents for operating and maintaining the system. It also covers training staff in areas such as driving, preventing fare evasion, and managing the Central Control Post (CCP). Metrotenerife's assistance will cover the system's setup phase and its first six months of commercial operation.

Upgrading the Alexandria Tramway

Metrotenerife, working with Artelia and BECT, has won a contract to provide consulting services for the renovation of the Alexandria tramway. The group will advise the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT), the agency responsible for the project. Their tasks will include selecting, supervising, and coordinating technical support contracts, calculating operating costs, and assisting with the procurement process.

Applying RAMS to Metrorrey

Finally, in Mexico, Metrotenerife will implement the RAMS methodology for Metrorrey Line 1. With support from Leedeo Engineering, Metrotenerife will guide Monterrey's Public Transport in using this method. RAMS stands for Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety, and it will be used to evaluate how well this Mexican metro system performs in these key areas.
