FCC’s know how in this
type of project and the
experience of its human
capital represent a
guarantee for the success
of the project
Diciembre and Comunidad de Nuevo Tocu-
men urban districts.
FCC has currently executed more than 625
foundations of the necessary 1,190; 380
pillars and 221 column capitals. It has built
228 of the u-shaped beams for the viaduct
of which 159 have already been placed. The
Company is working of 14 of the 16 sta-
tions simultaneously and has completed the
complete form structure of three stations. In
addition, it has delivered the first section of
the GDE viaduct to make it possible to start
assembling the rail, thereby achieving the
contemplated milestones.
Line 2 of the Panama Metro extends the
benefits of the suburban transport system,
integrated in the Master Plan for the Pana-

tion and, by means of an elevated viaduct,
will stretch to the East Sector, along Domingo
Díaz Avenue and the Pan-American Highway.
Line 1 was executed in record time
The construction phase of Line 1 was execu-
ted in record time, over a period of just slightly
more than three years. The project contem-
plated the construction of a 15.9 km metro
line of which 7.5 km were built underground,
7.1 km above ground, and 1.3 km in tren-
ches. There are 14 metro stations (six above
ground, seven underground and one which
is half-buried); two trenches (from where the
train goes from the above ground section into
the underground part); five ventilation shafts
and an industrial area of patios and work-
shops housing the operating centre of the rail
transport system.
The route was inserted in a corridor with great
demand for public transport, benefitting more
than one million commuters. Operations star-
ted on 5 April 2014 carrying 16,000 passen-
gers per hour during peak hours. Maximum
demand has reached 280,000 passengers in
one day.
Great experience in building metropo-
litan railways
FCC has demonstrated its sound expe-
rience in building metropolitan railways. In
Madrid, it executed the extension of Line
10 of the Madrid Metro system to Metrosur,
Line 8 of the International Madrid Barajas
Airport; Line 2 of the Madrid Metro (Las Ro-
sas) and the Puerta del Sol Suburban Train
Station. In Barcelona, the Company built
Line 9, 4th Section; Bon Pastor to Cam
Zam and Sagrera university area; Line 5,
section Horta-Vall d’ Hebron and Line 2,
Clot- La Pau section.
In the international front, the Company’s
most representative projects include the
Lisbon Metropolitano (Portugal), Alameda-
Expo section; the execution of the Athens
Metro (Greece); the above-mentioned Line
1 of the Panama Metro. The Company is
currently involved in the execution of the
Toronto Metro (Canada); lines 4, 5 and 6 of
the Riyadh Metro; the Doha Metro; Line 2
of the Panama Metro; and Line 2 of Lima
Metro (Peru).
