Pajares Tunnel (25km). 6 th longest in Europe Drilling with TBM world record: 90 meters/day at La Cabrera Tunnel. (Madrid-Valencia HSL) Viaducts: Ulla Viaduct (Galicia Line), the tallest viaduct in Spain (higher pylons, 117 m; tallest central arch, 105 m) Deza Viaduct (Galicia Line), built by employing a very accurate and complex constructing procedure, by lowering 2 half arches. Contreras Viaduct (Levante HSL): one of the longest concrete arch spans in Europe (261 m) Track: automatic track gauge switches for different gauge performed at 30 km/h Switches: 350 km/h switches (220 km/h secondary line) 2 km/day track laying over ballast Catenary: Spanish HS catenary (350 km/h + 10%) interoperable TSI Sub-stations: own design 2 x 25 kv Maintenance technologies: laboratory and track inspection trains R+D+i: energy efficiency, raising ballast, track models 40 40

42 Spanish Experience in ERTMS Still nowadays, each country still has its own rail "language" for managing the movement of the trains on its network. Rail interoperability is a key goal for Europe, so that trains can cross borders without stopping. ERTMS aims at replacing the different national train control and command systems in Europe. The deployment of ERTMS will enable the creation of a seamless European railway system and increase European railway's competitiveness. In addition, ERTMS is arguably the most performant train control system in the world and brings significant advantages in terms of maintenance costs savings, safety, reliability, punctuality and traffic capacity. This explains why ERTMS is increasingly successful outside Europe, and is becoming the train control system of choice for countries such as China, India, Taiwan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. SPAIN IS PIONEER IN ERTMS: 1,974 km of High Speed lines equipped with ERTMS (more km than any other European country) ERTMS level 2 (>300 km/h. October 2011) deployed in Madrid- Barcelona line 42

Our expertise in PPP s and retail in stations allows us to design services in this field (commercial activity) as well as to provide the best management for basic services to passengers and rail companies, station maintenance, operation, renewals and refurbishing ). INTERIM MANAGEMENT: implementation of best-in-class processes and operating standards via professionals from our organization. 51

52 Adif s strengths. A competitive offer Training Adif`s broad expertise in every aspect of railway networks design, construction and management has allowed us to offer comprehensive technical training packages is areas such as safety, traffic management, technology, executive and managerial skills in order to ensure the best qualification of the company s experts to accomplish the task. Constructive Technical Assistance Management of the construction projects design, from the earlier stages up to the phase of operation: planning and control of activities technical supervision logistics consultancy environmental management commissioning legal compliance, etc 52

53 Adif s strengths. Examples around the world Mexico DF Suburban Railway Adif has cooperated with the Buenavista-Cuautitlán suburban railway line (27 km, 7 stations) through a technical assistance project to the concession holder for the commissioning of the line and further support in commercial operation. The project was headed by CAF with the participation of Spanish companies from the railway industry (OHL, Thales, Indra, Telvent, Inabensa, Ineco, Constructora Hispánica, ADIF) Adif provided technical assistance in the following issues: Definition of the Circulation Management age e Model Staff training Rules, Specification, Regulations and Handbooks Information Management Systems and Train Regulation 53

54 Adif s strengths. Examples around the world FENOCO, Colombia Adif signed a contract in Colombia with FENOCO (Ferrocarriles del Norte de Colombia), for the construction and operational technical assistance to deploy and operate a 230 km long freight line (coal export from La Loma mines), operated as a concession since 2004 (currently, 40 M tons/year of coal are being carried on the La Loma Puerto Santa Marta line). ADIF has provided technical assistance for: Staff training Elaborating rules and procedures Assistance in infrastructure and installation construction and maintenance Further support given to operations and technical commissioning Information Systems for traffic management and regulation 54

55 Adif s strengths. Examples around the world Turkey. TCDD Training (Turkish Railways) Turkey is deploying a new High Speed Network, and Spanish companies and technology have been part of the project from the very beginning. In 2009, the first section of the HS Line between Ankara and Istambul (Ankara -Eskisehir, 206 km) started operating and the section Ankara- Konya (212 km) was commissioned in Adif trained TCDD experts prior to the commissioning of both HS Lines, using the experience of ADIF in this critical issue. The specialists were trained in the areas of Traffic Management and Road Maintenance, as well as monitoring of the conditions of commissioning and inauguration. Globally. Adif has trained 190 TCDD experts and is currently carrying out new seminars, in areas such as Planning and management of rail traffic on high-speed lines Maintenance of infrastructure and track in high speed lines Traffic Control Systems and Signalling Safety Capacity management in railways Traffic Management System ERTMS Enterprise Resources Management Freight villages Speed increase on freight trains Intermodality 55
