Spain is the third biggest handler of air traffic in Europe. Airports such as Madrid or Barcelona are among the ten top European airports in terms of passenger traffic and flights.
Each year approximately 200 million people use the country’s 47 airports, which, thanks to expansion and improved infrastructures, have sufficient capacity to assume the estimated growing demands of passengers in coming years. The Spanish operator Aena has invested heavily in achieving this and has relied on the services of Ineco to plan, draft, manage and commission the most important airport expansion plans in the country.

Paragraph:Paragraph title:Plan Barajas: one of the biggest infrastructures works in the worldParagraph body:Adolfo Suárez - Madrid Barajas is one of the top ranking airports in Europe with the biggest influx of travellers. In order to cope with the increasing demand, Aena set up an expansion project, embodied in its Plan Barajas, on which Ineco actively collaborated, and was responsible for the project management and commissioning.
The expansion included two new runways in the airfield, taxiways, movement areas and various associated systems. A new terminal building was also built, in order to meet the requirements of over 35 million passengers per year, as well as a satellite building with capacity for 15 million, and a new control tower. Other works included in the Madrid-Barajas expansion project were an air port services tunnel, a car park, new access and an automated luggage system able to process 16,000 pieces of baggage every hour.
In terms of air navigation, all the arrival, departure and approach manoeuvres have been designed to adapt to the new requirements, endeavouring to reduce any environmental impact to a minimum. Thus, a new TMA (terminal manoeuvring area) was projected, with new control sectors, in order to deal with traffic operating on four runways and to respond in a flexible manner to geographic variations in demand. In addition, prior to commissioning, operational safety studies and real time simulations were carried out, in addition to a runway capacity study in order to establish the maximum performance of the four runways and the specially developed procedures.
Paragraph title:Plan Barcelona: a hub for the MediterraneanParagraph body:Plan Barcelona has put El Prat airport firmly on the map of European air transport.
Ineco has provided technical assistance to the project, managing development and implementation of the Plan. The scope of its remit included infrastructures such as the terminal building, equipped to deal with 40 million passengers, a third runway, a new air traffic control tower, an intermodal connection building, and development of a new airport city, extending the aeronautical service and industrial area.
Ineco carried out the requisite studies for resizing and restructuring airspace, due to extension of the airfield and operational needs, endeavouring to keep environmental impact to a minimum.
When constructing the new control tower we also worked on defining arrangement of the control positions of the airport’s two control towers.
Paragraph title:Plan Malaga: outstanding airport services in the heart of the Costa del SolParagraph body:Malaga’s airport is the fourth largest in Spain in terms of traffic volume. The expansion is designed to double the airport’s capacity enabling it to cope with up to 20 million passengers, modernising its facilities and increasing intermodality and economic and social development in the area and on the Costa del Sol in general.
The project is technically and organisationally extremely complex, as it is concentrated over a short period of time and with limited space, thus a considerable amount of construction work will take place while the airport continues to operate.
Ineco is providing technical assistance to the consultancy managing the programme which includes, planning, addressing requirements, defining functional specifications, design, construction, testing, commissioning and final delivery to the airport.
The expansion project will include a new terminal building with capacity for processing 9,000 passengers per hour, a new runway and three taxiways, a new platform, new accesses, and new multi-storey car parks.
In the light of the work carried out in Malaga air space, Ineco also designed the departure, arrival and approach manoeuvres so that the runways are able to operate independently without affecting special areas close to the airport. The new Malaga scenario with two runways was the subject of an operational study which defined the possible operating modes and adapted them to the demands of air traffic, making best use of the infrastructures available.
Following its expansion, Malaga airport has become one of the foremost tourist areas in the Mediterranean in terms of capacity, quality and safety.Paragraph title:Spanish presence in the most important airports in the worldParagraph body:Our experience in modernising the Spanish airport network and in developing air navigation systems and managing airport infrastructures has enabled us to export our know-how beyond Spain’s borders and to work on plans for some of the world’s most important airports, such as project management of Kuwait Airport or Heathrow Airport’s Winter Resilience Programme.

In 2013, the Civil Aviation Authority of Brazil (the Secretaria de Aviação Civil or SAC) launched an extensive logistical investment programme in airports in conjunction with the Banco do Brasil. Its first phase, in which Ineco collaborates, consists of modernising, newly constructing and enlarging 270 airports belonging to various states and municipalities.
In 2014, Ineco and its local partner were awarded the tender to carry out preliminary and feasibility studies, preliminary and construction projects, as well as geological and pavement analyses, on 65 regional airports.
The country boasts 2,890 private aerodromes and 721 public airports (28 exclusively for military use), of which 10% are managed by their owner, Infraero, and the rest belongs to states and municipalities.
Regional aviation is extremely important in Brazil due to the country’s extensive land mass of more than 8.5 million square kilometres and the fact that more than half of it is covered by the Amazon rainforest, which means regional air transport is vital to economic development and mobility. In addition, Brazil has one of the largest government fleets in the world, only eclipsed by that of the USA, with approximately 2,100 aircraft and a strong aviation industry. Therefore, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has calculated that by 2017 the domestic Brazilian aviation market will be the third largest in the world, with 122.4 million passengers.

The Ecuadorian Ministry of Transport and Public Works commissioned Ineco for the expansion of Manta Port, aiming to avail of a deepwater port that would allow entry to the country through the routes of large Post-Panamax ships and the new Panamax class ships, prepared for the expansion of the Panama Canal.
After analysing the different options for carrying out the expansion, Ineco performed a complete marine geotechnical campaign, a study of currents and an analysis of coastal dynamics in order to plan the optimal way to expand the port.
The design includes a 16.2 metre deep docking pit, with a new pier for the docking of ships up to 330 metres long and 48 metres wide. The new port design involves an extension and reorganisation of port spaces, including new areas for container storage.
The work carried out includes the extension of pier number one and the existing seawall, the esplanade between the pier and the seawall- including the closing dock between the breakwater and the first international pier, treatment to compact or consolidate the fill, dredging the international pier access canal and the design of the new fishing pier.
The modernisation of the installations is also included in the new design, since ship-to-shore (STS) gantry cranes, rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTG), conveyors for solid bulk and sockets for electrical containers, etc. are necessary for the operation of the port.
Thanks to this extension, Manta Port will be able to manage traffic of four million tonnes and 300,000 TEUs a year. A second expansion has been planned which will allow for nine million tonnes and 700,000 TEUs a year.
The total planned investment is 156 million dollars and the completion time for the work is 24 months.

(HSRC), includes demand studies; prior analysis of alignment alternatives; calculation of journey times; selection of the rail technology to be implemented (track gauge, track superstructure, electrification, communications and safety installations, etc.); necessary special works; regeneration and resettlement of affected populated areas; environmental analysis; rolling stock and operation and maintenance. Lastly, an economic-financial analysis will be carried out, which will be used to determine the feasibility of the new line as well as the most adequate method of funding.
The extensive Indian rail network has great potential and its own industry, but also many challenges: only 33% of the network is electrified, there are very few fibre-optic networks, there is a lack of enclosure, stations do not have ticket purchase systems or security checks, etc. The project includes the adaptation of the current stations to high speed, or failing that, the proposal of locations and preliminary designs for new stations. The construction of this railway infrastructure is a greatly significant advance for the Indian railway network.
Paragraph title:Experience: a key factorParagraph body:Ineco’s participation in the development of more than 3,000 kilometres of Spain’s high speed rail network, along with excellent references for previous works in the area, were fundamental in HSRC’s decision to opt for this consortium.
Between 2011 and 2012, Ineco conducted a feasibility study on the high speed rail connection between Haldia and Howrah for Indian Railways; the study was carried out with the Spanish companies Ayesa and Prointec, and also constitutes part of the projects planned in the Diamond Quadrilateral Program. Furthermore, Ineco in 2012 provided technical assistance in the Bombay metro works and advised Indian Railways in the design and implementation of the strategy for the Suburban Railways train service.

Paragraph:Paragraph title:Description of the workParagraph body:Ineco has created drafts of the Santo Domingo–Esmeraldas high capacity road, which is approximately 190 km in length. It also participated in designing some sections between Río Siete and Tíllales, which links the south of the country with Peru, and supervised expansion and improvement works on the Pifo–Papallacta road. It is worth highlighting, finally, the technical, legal and financial structuring carried out by the company for concessions for the two roads mentioned at the beginning of the article.
Another of the work highlights in Ecuador is the existing road of Corridor E-25 Río Siete – Huaquillas, which links the south of the country with Peru. In this case two works were carried out. For the first stretch, between Río Siete and Tíllales “Y”, the final design of a high capacity route with all international standards was carried out. For the second stretch between Tíllales “Y” and Huaquillas, the existing road was improved to make it into a motorway. The works included service lanes, agricultural roads, junctions, expansions and road safety improvements.
In terms of construction supervision, one of the most noteworthy projects Ineco carried out was to audit the enlargement and improvement of the Pifo – Papallacta route. This route of approximately 35 kilometres crosses the western part of the Andes. Also included was one of the highest-altitude paved cycle lanes in the world.
Paragraph title:Highlights of Ineco’s participation in project executionParagraph body:Ineco, thanks to its long history and experience in high performance road solutions, carried out the designs that run through the main areas of the country. These designs were characterised by having several access points to many local farms.
The layouts, in which Ineco participated, were optimised following the prescriptions and requirements of The Spanish Ministry of Public Works’ Standard 3.1-IC. This Standard is well renowned and has consistent design parameters to define and calculate high capacity road infrastructure.
Ineco has created drafts of the Santo Domingo–Esmeraldas high capacity road, which is approximately 10 km in length. On the first stretch, designs focused mainly on improving road safety, prioritisation of movements, ordering and regulating all current main line connections. On the second stretch, a new layout design was made using a dual carriageway, by assessing the maximum use of the existing carriageway, with occasional layout tweaks and designing a new, independent carriageway.
Another noteworthy work in Ecuador is the existing road of the E-25 Corridor from Río Siete to Huaquillas, which links the south of the country with Peru. In this instance two different works were carried out. For the first stretch between Río Siete and Tíllales “Y”, the final design of a high capacity route with all international standards was carried out. For the second stretch between Tíllales “Y” and Huaquillas, an improvement to the existing route was designed to make it into a motorway. The works included service lanes, agricultural roads, junctions, enlargements and road safety improvements.
On both designs, along with the engineering designs, the technical, legal and financial structuring of the infrastructure was carried out with the aim of conducting an international bid for tender for the contracting – by collaboration between state and private interests – of the administrative concession for the construction, operation and maintenance of the aforementioned motorways over a 30-year period.
Within the structuring works, a wide-ranging study of Ecuador’s legislative framework was conducted in order to be able to articulate these concession designs, a social cost-benefit analysis of the solutions proposed was carried out, as well as an economic and financial feasibility study and risk study with the aim of proposing solutions that would be attractive to private investors and compatible with the Ecuadorian government’s needs and the financial conditions of the markets.
In terms of construction supervision, among the many routes audited on the entire Ecuadorian road network, one of the most noteworthy designs Ineco carried out was to audit the enlargement and improvement of the Pifo – Papallacta route. This route of approximately 35 kilometres crosses the western part of the Andes, which was a great challenge due to its difficult terrain and reconciliation with road traffic maintenance demands. Additionally, one of the highest-altitude paved cycle lanes in the world was audited.

Chiclayo airport opened in 1956 and, though it has been classed as international since 1994, the first regular operations of this type began on 28th July 2016 with the introduction of two weekly Copa Airlines flights to Tocumen Airport in Panama. In 2015, according to CORPAC (Peruvian Airports and Commercial Aviation Corporation, airport owner) data, it recorded 7,813 operations, 431,840 passengers, all nationals, and 731,120 kilograms of air cargo. AdP aims to increase these figures and boost Chiclayo as the air transport hub for the whole region of northern Peru. The goal is to increase passenger traffic fivefold to 2.6 million by 2038. To this end it has put in place a process of modernisation that comprises overlaying the runway (2,520 metres long and 45 metres wide) and, once feasibility studies are complete, building a new terminal building, as well as remodelling access ways and other improvement works, including a new control tower, firefighting services, hangars, fuel area, freight terminal, etc.
Peru Airpors (AdP) is the concession company of the first group of airports located in the north and centre of the Republic of Peru. In 2006 it operated a network of 11 air terminals in the north of Peru located in Tumbes, Talara, Piura, Cajamarca, Chiclayo, Chachapoyas, Tarapoto, Trujillo, Anta (Huaraz), Iquitos and Pucallpa; as well as the new Pisco Airport.
AdP’s goal is to position itself as one of the most important airport operators in Latin America, through an approach of “Integrating Modernity and Culture”. Its commitment to users will be reflected in renovated space, top quality services, state-of-the-art technology and in the fulfilment of the national and international safety standards.
AdP will perform renovation and enlargement work in the 12 airports that it has in its concession according to its US$ 1 billion investment plan. In the first phase they will work on Chiclayo, Piura, Trujillo and Iquitos airports. And in the second phase, they will work on the air terminals of Tarapoto and Pucallpa, due to several of the airports reaching their capacity limit. As part of this plan Cajamarca, Anta and Trujillo airports were improved in 2015 and there are plans to execute works on the runways and passenger terminals of Iquitos, Piura, Trujillo and Talara airports, as well as that of Chiclayo, which will require an investment of US$ 260 million.

Ineco has extensive experience in drawing up architectural designs as well as construction management and technical assistance for various kinds of stations.
Spanish commuter train networks (Cercanías) have the clear mission of providing transport services under the criteria of safety for passengers, quality, profitability, efficiency and innovation of their services, without forgetting the social purpose and commitment to the environment, such that use of the railway is encouraged.
Ineco has participated in the execution of accessibility plans and comprehensive plans for station improvement promoted by ADIF and Renfe-Viajeros, bodies that are part of the Ministry of Public Works, as major driving agents of collective transport by rail.
Spain has an extensive commuter train network operated by Renfe and Feve, as well as several autonomous operators such as FGC (Catalonia), FGV (Valencia), SFM (the Balearic Islands) and EuskoTren (Biscay and Gipuzkoa).
Since 2013, Ineco has been participating actively in the activities under Renfe’s Stations Plan. In the first stage, these collaborative activities have been regulated via individual contracting for each work or limited group of works.
In 2015 this system developed when a Framework Agreement was signed for the “Technical Assistance for Drawing Up Detailed Designs, Project Management and Health and Safety Coordination for works on stations managed by RENFE VIAJEROS, S.A. Execution of Stations Plan 2014 – 2015”.

The main purpose of these works is to meet the accessbility needs at commuter train stations with a total investment of €40m. To date, the Project Management of 41 works within this contract has been ordered.
The works comprise the total or partial remodelling of the stations with the aim of meeting the accessibility needs of every station. The main works are installation of lifts, extension and overlay of platforms, execution of underpasses and escalators, and adaptation of existing stairs, parking spaces, lighting, shelters and exterior walls.
Paragraph title:New commuter train halt: Soto de HenaresParagraph body:On 22nd July 2013, the General Government Administration (AGE), the Madrid Regional Government (CAM) and the Torrejón de Ardoz City Council (AT) signed the “General Protocol for Collaboration between the General Government Administration, the Madrid Regional Government and the Torrejón de Ardoz City Council for the improvement and modernisation of railway connections in Torrejón de Ardoz”.
In this protocol, the General Government Administration, through Spain’s railway infrastructure administrator (ADIF) planned the construction of a new commuter train station in the suburb of Soto del Henares. The new station will be located on a plot connected to the railway line between kilometre points KP 26 + 400 and KP 26 + 700 of lines C2 and C7 of Madrid’s Suburban Railway between Torrejón de Ardoz and La Garena stations. The new station is located close to the new Torrejón hospital and the new residential developments of Soto del Henares, Mancha Amarilla, La Zarzuela, Saucar and Juncal, as well as Casablanca industrial park.
ADIF’s Associate Directorate of Maintenance and Operation of the Conventional Line Network entrusted Ineco with the drawing up of the detailed design and construction management for a Commuter Halt at Soto del Henares (Torrejón de Ardoz).
This new halt, the main building of which was made with a modular structure of gantries forming a free floor plan, which together with the potential for adaptation to different dimensions, forms a totally flexible system, adaptable to any size of commuter station. Within the area are distributed all uses of the building through independent buildable volumes (building within a building). The dimensions of the halt were chosen to serve 6,000 passengers a day, enabling easy subsequent expansion to service a larger number of passengers.
On 31st August 2015, the President of the Madrid Regional Government, Cristina Cifuentes, and the Ministry of Public Works, Ana Pastor, opened the new Madrid commuter stop of Soto del Henares, located in the city of Torrejón de Ardoz.

The importance of air transport to an island nation is a decisive factor in the gateway character. Sangster International Airport is the access point for three out of four visitors who come to and leave Jamaica, a figure which represents 80% of the total tourists in the country.
MBJ Airports Limited, the private consortium that manages the airport with a 30 year concession, commissioned Ineco in 2009 with the implementation of a Master Plan, which has again been commissioned and updated during 2016 in accordance with the recommendations of the ICAO, to forecast the growth in demand and ensure that the airport’s capacity is in line with it in the short, medium, and long term, with a time horizon of 2035. The Plan takes into account the environmental factors, such as the fact that the airport is located beside the sea, within the Montego Bay Marine Park, the proximity of residential areas, and the new recent regulatory developments in reference to operational safety and the airport’s certification.
Furthermore, Ineco drafted four projects (refurbishment of the runway and a new perimeter pathway; a new firefighting service building; enlargement of the runway; refurbishment of the taxiways and some areas of the apron). In relation to these projects, Ineco was also commissioned with the support services for the tendering and awarding of the refurbishment of the runway, the perimeter pathway and the new firefighting service building, as well as the technical assistance for the supervision of this work. Currently, it is updating the Master Plan and the Project Management for the refurbishment of the taxiways and the apron.
