Underground works
North West Rail Link Sydney
Sydney, Australia
The design and construction contract for the North West Rail Link project in Sydney involved the delivery of one of Australia's most significant metropolitan rail expansions. The project included the construction of two twin tunnels, each 15.5 km long with an internal diameter of 6.17 m, running between the existing Epping station and the new Bella Vista station. In addition, five underground stations were built—Cherrybrook, Castle Hill, Showground, Norwest, and Bella Vista—each with approximate dimensions of 180 m in length and 20 m in width.
High Speed – Sector 2
Guipúzcoa, Spain
The High-Speed Rail Sector 2 project forms part of the Basque Country High-Speed Rail Network and includes more than 11 km of tunnels and underground galleries along the route between Mondragón and Bergara.
WestConnex New M5
The WestConnex New M5 forms part of the largest road infrastructure programme delivered in Australia in recent years, designed to connect western and south-western Sydney with the city centre, port and airport through a high-capacity motorway network.
CSST – Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel
Ottawa, Canada
The Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) is a key component of the Ottawa River Action Plan, developed to improve river water quality by reducing wastewater discharges during periods of intense rainfall. The project consists of two underground tunnels designed to operate both as wastewater collectors during normal conditions and as stormwater storage tunnels during peak flow events, helping prevent direct discharges into the river.
Barcelona Metro - Lines 9 and 10
Barcelona, Spain
The Barcelona Metro Lines 9 and 10 project is one of Europe's most innovative urban railway developments, based on the Continuous Station Concept, which integrates stations and tunnels within a single large-diameter structure. DRAGADOS has participated in the construction of several sections of the Lines 9 and 10, a landmark project that incorporates the Continuous Station Concept. The company has delivered three separate contracts covering the sections Gorg – Sagrera Shaft, Sagrera Shaft – Habaneras Extraction Shaft, and Zona Franca – Mandri Station, the latter currently under construction.
Crossrail C-305
London, United Kingdom
The Crossrail C305 project was the largest contract awarded within the Crossrail Project and one of the largest infrastructure contracts in Europe at the time. The works involved the construction of twin tunnels lined with precast, fibre-reinforced reinforced concrete segments, using four Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) tunnel boring machines. Excavation was carried out mainly through London Clay formations.
Madrid Metro Extension
Madrid, Spain
Line 11: Plaza Elíptica – Conde de Casal The Madrid Metro Extension Programme represents one of the largest underground transport developments undertaken in Europe, delivering more than 165 km of new lines and 168 stations between 1995 and 2011. DRAGADOS is currently delivering the extension of Line 11 of the Madrid Metro, along the section between Plaza Elíptica and Conde de Casal. The contract includes the construction of 7 km of single-bore, double-track tunnel, with an excavation diameter of 9.38 m, executed mainly using an EPB tunnel boring machine, launched and operated from Comillas station towards Conde de Casal. The project also comprises the construction of five new stations —Comillas, Madrid Río, Palos de la Frontera, Atocha and Conde de Casal— together with seven emergency exits, six ventilation shafts, and five pumping shafts, integrated into different structures along the alignment.
