From the outset, SAITEC has strived to provide comprehensive Rail Transport Engineering Services. As a consequence, the firm has become one of the leading companies in this field. SAITEC covers all the links in the engineering value chain: from planning to design, construction, operation and maintenance.

Its scope of action includes all types of rail networks and nodes, both of passengers and freight:

High-Speed Rail Network

SAITEC holds a prominent position in the development of the Spanish High-Speed Rail Network. It is a benchmark worldwide and a model to pursue in other countries, as a consequence of its important growth in recent years. SAITEC takes part both in the design (proposal outline, concept, scheme and detailed design) and project management for many sections in the many lines that make up the network.

Intercity transport: conventional network

SAITEC provides rail engineering services for intercity transport networks. Its clients are Spanish public railway infrastructure managers, as well as construction companies, joint ventures and concessionaires.

Metropolitan transport

Since the rail network has a high passenger transport capacity in large cities, it is a system in line with the principles subscribed by SAITEC of efficiency and sustainability. The company has gained specialised experience in comprehensive engineering for metropolitan transport networks, as a consequence of the need for integration of specialities such as underground works, architecture and railway functionality.

Stations and interchanges

SAITEC has developed many railway station projects all over Spain. Its departments include functional design, architectural design, urban development and installations.

Freight transport network

Due to its contribution to sustainability and environmental conservation, the railway stands as one of the main alternatives for the future when building a new and more efficient freight transport system.

In this sense, from the outset, SAITEC has been involved in all the stages (planning, design, construction and operation) of projects for freight transport infrastructures: classification stations, container terminals, intermodal stations, dry ports and port rail networks.

Power supply, signalling, safety and telecommunications systems

SAITEC relies on a highly qualified technical team dealing with the design of systems for rail networks. It is a department inside the company specialising in the following:
  • Power supply installations.
  • Rail signalling (ERTMS, CBTC, ATP/ATO, classic signalling).
  • Fixed and mobile rail communications.
  • Ticket validating and vending systems.
  • Control centres.
  • Associated electromechanical systems (electrical systems, ventilation, heating/air conditioning, fire protection systems, detection systems, etc.).

The department's work covers all the rail transport systems mentioned in the sections above.
