Invensys Dimetronic has won a contract worth over Euro 4 million to supply signalling equipment for use on line 5 of the Valencia Metro in Spain.

Operated by Valencia Regional Railways (FGV), Metro line 5 is being extended by 3.2 km from Quart de Poblet, via four new stations, to the airport. Under the contract, Invensys Dimetronic is to supply its Westrace electronic interlocking technology, joint-less track circuits (JLTCs) and automatic train protection (ATP) system. The company is also modifying FGV’s control traffic centre (CTC) and providing the company with track-train radio communications – together with supply and installation of the associated fibre optics. The contract is due to be completed within nine months.

Based in Madrid and with facilities in Barcelona, Valencia, Lisbon and Porto, Invensys Dimetronic is the leading supplier of signalling and control systems for both mainline and mass transit railways in the Iberian peninsula.
