Line 12, Mexico Subway
Golden Line Drafting Project
Mexico City, Mexico
Status: under construction
Line 12 (Mexico’s Subway) is an ambitious construction and expansion project of public transport networks in Mexico City. It will provide high volume transportation to passengers in a fast, safe, economic and ecologic fashion that is also sustainable.
Connecting seven of Mexico City’s delegations will have an influx of 367,000 passengers daily on working days along 24.5 km and 20 stations. Line 12 will occupy the fourth place in influx and will improve the operation of the subway network by connecting four more lines in the south of the city.
Ayesa is covering all technical implications of the project: feasibility studies, blueprints, project management, site construction processes, electromechanical equipment and systems, technical assistance on-site, etc. Also very different fields: architecture, geotechnics, structures, mobility, design, electromechanical equipment and communications, etc.
Designing a subway line in one of the biggest cities in the world, with high seismicity and continuous sinking clay subsoil is a real professional challenge. The sheer technical complexity of this project makes this subway line currently one of the most complex infrastructures that has been undertaken in Mexico.
