Challenge
The city of Lima, Peru, with over 9 million inhabitants, is among the most populated cities in the world. Lima is also the third busiest city on the planet, according to Forbes. The Lima metro consists of 21 miles of railway, 35 stations, 2 depots and 42 trains. Engineering helped implement two new smart underground lines to enable more green and efficient public transport throughout the bustling urban scene.
Approach
The project also proved to be more complex than expected, due to delays accumulated by previous suppliers that did not respect stringent project requirements for quality and safety as required by the Peruvian government. By providing a versatile and competent team, we were able to realign the timing of the project and obtain all the approvals needed for its implementation.
Engineering's expert transportation team was called in to design, install and activate advanced video surveillance systems equipped with video analysis of anomalous behaviors and situations, sound diffusion systems, telephone emergency systems, as well as electric power distribution systems in the stations and in the tunnels of the two new underground lines.
Furthermore, we locally created a laboratory where we reproduced the model of the systems to tests the various functionalities required and system integration dynamics. As a result of this Digital Twin, we were able to foresee and anticipate possible issues during the implementation and running phases.
