Services 

Planning

We take on projects for large infrastructures starting in their initial phases, carrying out the conceptual and functional design, the preparation of the master plan, the informative and feasibility study and transport planning.

Design

SENER Infrastructure engineers have extensive experience and knowledge, which allows us to offer quality services in:

• Preliminary and detailed engineering.
• Optimization engineering.
• Cost estimation and programming.
• Construction project.
• System integration.

Management and Construction

We provide services for the management and construction of infrastructures in practically all the key engineering sectors.

• Drafting of specifications and evaluation.
• Construction oversight and quality control.
• Construction management.
• Testing and commissioning.

Operation and Maintenance Management

Our knowledge enables us to provide engineering services after the commissioning of large infrastructures, including:

• The operation and maintenance plan.
• Selection and training.
• Support for operations and maintenance.
• Cost optimization.

Risk Management

In accordance with the ISO 31000 and ISO 31001 standards, we follow a strict risk management methodology that gives clients total control over any identified threats to their projects, as well as the associated mitigation measures. SENER’s methodology combines quantitative and qualitative methods for estimating risk, its impact and probability.

Requirements Management

As a fundamental part of Systems Integration Engineering, we carry out Requirements Management through every phase of project execution. Requirements Management involves extracting, documenting, analyzing and controlling the functionalities, features and restrictions of the project (seen as a complete system) in terms of its obligations, performance and properties. Requirements include business objectives, operational features, system/sub-system/equipment features, user features, etc.

Requirements must always be traceable, unambiguous, complete, concise, consistent and unique in order to facilitate the design and subsequent verification and validation. At SENER, we use well-established management tools such as IBM’s Rational DOORS, which has played a key role in projects such as Line 9 of the Barcelona Metro or the Abu-Dhabi Tramway.

Interface Management

We have proven experience in the area of recognition and exhaustive inclusion of physical, functional and special interfaces. We also develop a tailor-made interface management methodology for each project, which is outlined in an Interface Management Plan (IMP) that describes how interfaces are:

• Identified and documented.
• Specified.
• Verified.
• Validated.

Configuration Management

We conduct configuration management throughout the life cycle of a project, to provide visibility and control over the characteristics of the project as a whole and any changes it undergoes.

We ensure that the configuration of the complete project is known and reflected in its characteristics and documentation so that any change management can be always be carried out in reference to the known status (configuration status or baseline). This makes it easier to assess the impact of a change, both in terms of cost and timings, as well as to monitor its implementation in each of the aspects that may be affected.

Configuration parameters may include requirements, cost values, designs (plans), contracts, planning, risk analysis, physical attributes, functional features, operations manuals, etc.

RAM&Safety

We have consolidated our position as a leader in RAMS engineering in the infrastructure and transport sector, especially in railway engineering. A team of experts in this field is responsible for defining, distributing and assigning safety requirements to each of the different

subsystems in a piece of infrastructure, with the ultimate goal of compiling safety evidence from these subsystems and demonstrating that every potential hazard identified by SENER has been covered.

Independent Checking

As an Independent Checking Engineer (ICE), we check third-party designs to ensure that projects achieve the objectives that have been set out in relation to quality, service, works, safety, durability, maintenance, operational capacity and future extension and/or updating potential.

Strategic Consulting

These types of services correspond to the comprehensive management of a project, in which there is normally a contractor or group of contractors in charge of carrying out the design and build. At SENER, we define the management processes and requirements, in common agreement with the owner, to ensure the correct and successful execution and implementation of the project, guaranteeing that the project is delivered on time, within budget and meets the needs of the clients.

Document Management

We carry out document management services for all types of projects as part of a work, oversight and control culture that incorporates all the technical regulations in force and the latest best practices, both international and local.

Quality Control and Assurance

We provide quality control throughout the lifecycle of the project to ensure perfect integration and to guarantee that the client’s technical, functional, document and safety objectives are met at all times.

Sustainability and Environment

Every piece of work that we execute guarantees absolute respect for the environment and incorporates specific sustainability features, from designs that are well-integrated into the landscape to energy saving technology, including the use of renewable energy sources, the use of building materials and systems that have a low environmental impact, and strategies for sorting and recycling municipal solid waste, among many other measures.
