The rail network in Peru

Understanding the ground before we mobilise

Network of about 1,900 km, several gauges (standard and narrow gauges), mostly non-electrified. Infrastructure and operations: Ferrocarril Central Andino / PeruRail / AATE.

Ferrocarril Central Andino to La Oroya, southern line to Cusco and Machu Picchu, Lima metro line 1 and line 2 under construction.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ studies jobs in Peru 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 Peru (several gauges (standard and narrow gauges)) and approval by the infrastructure manager are confirmed during the study.
