We promote sustainable mobility

We promote sustainable mobility in cities

The Purple Line light rail in Maryland (USA), bus rapid transit systems in Peru and Colombia, more than 200 high-speed rail projects in Spain or the Lund Arlöv railway line in Sweden… Our sustainable mobility projects help us reduce our carbon footprint and make life healthier for millions of people. Take a look at a sample of our work.

UNITED STATES

Purple Line, Maryland

Light rail system with 26.1 km of track and 21 stations. The project will also transform the Washington D.C. region’s transportation network by adding a light rail service to the interconnected transit system. It is estimated that it will prevent the displacement of 17,000 vehicles per day, thus reducing carbon emissions.

South Corridor Bus Rapid Transit, Florida

We are working to convert the South Corridor (South Dade Transitway) to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). It will improve travel times for users, create a dedicated lane, install a prepaid system to speed up access and improve road safety.

New York City Subway

The company has left its mark on the Big Apple subway and its main lines. It is currently executing, among others, three projects that will improve the accessibility, structural integrity and design of several subway stations in the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn.

LATIN AMERICA

Bus rapid transit systems in Peru and Colombia

OHLA is participating in the northern extension of the Metropolitano in Peru, which will improve the mobility and quality of life of more than 350,000 people. In Colombia, it is carrying out the project to adapt the Troncal Avenida Ciudad de Cali to the Transmilenio system, which will benefit more than 100,000 people.

Railway projects in Mexico

double cantilever viaduct on section 3, both belonging to the Mexico-Toluca intercity train; Line 3 of the Guadalajara Light Railway; and section A of the extension of the Lechería suburban train to the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Mexico City.

Panama Metro

The extension of Metro Line 1 from the capital to Villa Zaita includes the construction of a terminal station with a maximum capacity of 10,000 passengers at peak hour. The project stands out for the implementation of the BIM methodology in all phases of the work.

EUROPE

Lund-Arlöv railway line, Sweden

The project includes the construction of 8 km of line with four tracks and 5 km of two temporary tracks parallel to the existing route. It is a pioneering example of the use of BIM, geographic information systems (GIS) and drones and will benefit 80,000 passengers per day.
