Ineco is in charge of the feasibility study for the development of the railway between Medellín and Bogotá in Colombia, through the Aburrá Valley. This project, financed by the Fund for the Internationalisation of Enterprise (FIEM), is the first step in planning to transform connectivity between the country's two main cities, which are currently only accessible by air or car.
Colombia is in a growth phase and, although the transport infrastructure sector is already one of the country's main economic drivers, it is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Colombia does not currently have long-distance, high-capacity railway infrastructure system, so this design, in addition to having the technical and operational criteria of the Spanish experience, will become a driving force for the internationalisation of companies in our country, by opening up the possibility of future tenders at more advanced stages.
For the development of this study, the technical feasibility of the line will be analysed through various alternatives, calculating the potential demand, designing the route and a proposal for operation. Depending on the initial information available, Ineco will evaluate the application of AI through the Charli tool, an innovative software developed by Ineco, designed to speed up layout work, based on Machine Learning techniques. Finally, an economic feasibility study of the corridor and a preliminary proposal of management and financing models for the project will be carried out.
Our experience in Colombia
Since its origins, Ineco has worked intensively in Colombia and in the '80s, it was contracted to carry out the study for the Bogotá Metro and as a consultant for the National Railways of Colombia. Recently, Ineco has participated in key projects for the country, such as the Medellín Metro, where he was responsible for the technical management of the design, construction and commissioning of the rolling stock, as well as supervising all stages of the project. Also, the design of the control tower for the El Dorado airport in Bogotá or the Master Plans for the Simón Bolívar airport in Santa Marta on the Caribbean coast, as well as the Germán Olano airport in Puerto Carreño.
