Dragados has played a major role in the development of the high speed rail (HSR) network in Spain which, with more than 2,660 kilometres of network, is the second largest in the world. We have constructed 1,016 kilometres of the Spanish HSR network, completed 126 kilometres of HSR tunnels and numerous HSR stations. Our involvement in HSR began in 1988. Since then, we have completed 41 major HSR projects and in the last 10 years we have designed and constructed 12 major projects in Spain, France, and Portugal with individual project costs in excess of £1.2bn and an overall project cost of more than £6bn.
Our experience in the development and execution of significant HSR and major infrastructure projects has given us a thorough understanding of the preparation, planning, specification and contract requirements that make these huge projects a success.
In the last 10 years our major HSR projects have included main HS stations as Madrid Atocha and Barcelona Sants.
We have completed more than 270 km of HS infrastructure including tunnelling, viaducts, track, electrification:
- High Speed Train, Madrid-Zaragoza-Barcelona-French Border Line. 127.41 km
- High Speed Train, Madrid-Sevilla Line. 50.95 km
- High Speed Train, Madrid-Valladolid Line. 53.75 km
- High Speed Train, Madrid-Valencia Line. 51.7 km
