Barcelona unveils the renovated Sant Genís workshops for L3 of the metro
The expansion works at Sant Genís for L3 have been completed. The workshop has been adapted to the increase in passengers and anticipates future growth. New tracks, more space, and energy efficiency. Find out how service and maintenance will improve.
The expansion works at the Sant Genís workshops and depots, which serve L3 of the Barcelona metro, have been completed following an investment of 18 million euros. The facilities have been modernised to respond to the significant increase in users on the line and to prepare for future rises in demand.
The renovation includes the extension of 3,000 square metres on one of the workshop floors, thanks to the opening of a new space. Two 200-metre tracks have been added, along with a third, shorter track for bringing in materials, as well as an adjacent area to improve operations.
Energy efficiency has also been a key focus of the project. A total of 519 photovoltaic panels with a capacity of 250 kWp have been installed, which will allow savings of up to 105 tonnes of CO per year.
The new facilities will enable better service and faster maintenance of the trains. The workshops are expected to become operational in the coming weeks.
