Solutions that have maximised efficiency in Lisbon metro expansion works

The expansion of the Lisbon Metropolitan yellow line comes to life with the new Estrela station, an engineering landmark that will make the route between Rato and Cais do Sodré circular. The works have been carried out on three construction fronts: The Pharmacy Building of the Old Military Hospital, the Station Shaft and the Station Tunnel.

The collaboration between ZAGOPE and ULMA throughout all phases of the project has been crucial, resulting in innovative solutions that have overcome every technical difficulty. ULMA's formwork and shoring systems have made it possible to build anything from straight to curved walls, through its ability to adapt to complex geometries, to slabs of different thicknesses, and supporting structures with large wingspans. The BRIO scaffolding carriages, capable of handling more than 20 tonnes, have been essential for the steel reinforcement work and the MK formwork carriages for concreting the tunnel walls, demonstrating the robustness and flexibility of their systems. ULMA has been present from the initial design to the final delivery, bringing its know-how to each stage of the project.
