Construction of the metropolitan railway between Caracas and Los Teques towns (9,5km) including: 2 trenches of 833m, 7 tunnels (total length 2.496m), 15 bridges (total length 761m), 3 railway substations and canalization of San Pedro river for 1.040m.

1993-2001VENEZUELATechnical Manager
Railway transport system of the Central Region / Railway link up Caracas -Tuy Medio - Macaray - Valencia - Puerto Cabello. First Phase Caracas - Tuy Medio.
The Caracas–Tuy railway line represents the first phase of a plan to improve railway infrastructures which is considered a priority for development, is involved in this plan and is currently working on 3 different key projects which will lead to the construction of a total of over 550km of new railway lines. The project as a whole involved the construction of 24 railway tunnels (90m2 section, total length 20,4km) and 28 viaducts measuring a total of 8,4km, with shaft deep foundations, reinforced concrete piles with a maximum height of 60m and steel girders with spans varying from 30 to 95m. Earthworks totalled approximately 1 million m³. Moreover, works to reinforce slopes were performed along with laying of the permanent way and electrification of the route for a length of 40km.
