The rail network in Spain

Understanding the ground before we mobilise

Network of about 15,500 km, Iberian broad gauge (1,668 mm) and standard gauge on high-speed lines, about 64% electrified. Infrastructure and operations: Adif.

World's second-largest high-speed network (over 3,000 km), broad-gauge conventional network, Cercanías in the main metropolitan areas, Mediterranean and Atlantic corridors under construction.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ studies jobs in Spain case by case: road-rail MEWPs and excavators shipped by road or sea with their certified operators, operators provided on long-distance assignment, training of local teams with AK FORMATION, as a subcontractor to French companies or in partnership with local players.

Our road-rail plant is built for 1,435 mm standard gauge; compatibility with the gauge in use in Spain (Iberian broad gauge (1,668 mm) and standard gauge on high-speed lines) and approval by the infrastructure manager are confirmed during the study.

Which track gauge in Spain?

The network in Spain uses Iberian broad gauge (1,668 mm) and standard gauge on high-speed lines. Our plant is built for standard gauge; adaptation to another gauge is studied with the manufacturer before any mobilisation.
