SENER has been the company responsible for the Design and Supervision of the Works of the platform in the Spanish side. It has also carried out the design project for the Perthus Tunnel and the proposed railway and non-railway installations in tunnel (electrification, signaling and communications, control centers, track, safety installations, etc). SENER has also carried out the Project and Construction Management of all Preliminary Projects and implementation of the diff erent sections in which the line was divided between Spain and France.
With a total length of 44,4 km, the Figueras-Perpignan line runs through the Pyrenees by Le Perthus tunnel, being 8,4 km long. This is a fi rst-class infrastructure that has been a landmark in the European high-speed network since for the fi rst time a private company has gotten the approval and certifi cation of the line for high speed circulation in accordance with modern European standards. Maximum Design Speed of 350 kmph.
