PROJECT of the MONTH 2025 | Ground-Borne noise and vibration consulting services: Tren Alameda-Melipilla / Section 3
Rail transport in Chile is currently undergoing a renaissance: significant investments are being made to expand and modernize the railway network – with the aim of promoting sustainable mobility and meeting growing transportation demands. A particular focus is being placed on improving the connection between the metropolitan area of Santiago and its surrounding regions.
A key project in this context is the Tren Alameda–Melipilla line. The 61-kilometre route is planned to transport not only freight but also thousands of daily commuters between Estación Central and Melipilla.
We are proud to have contributed our expertise in noise and vibration protection to section 3 for this forward-looking project. On behalf of the company Colas Rail, VCE reviewed two comprehensive noise and vibration prediction reports, performed a plausibility assessment, and evaluated the proposed mitigation measures – including special bi-block sleeper systems – with regard to their effectiveness in reducing emissions.
A great example of how our expertise is making an impact worldwide!
