As part of its modernisation plan, EMT faces a dual challenge: successfully achieving the energy transition of its public transport while streamlining its overall network.

The strategic location of this new infrastructure will make it possible to optimise routes across the entire metropolitan area and eliminate “dead mileage”, thereby easing traffic congestion and directly reducing pollutant emissions.

However, transitioning to a fully electric fleet presents a monumental engineering challenge regarding power supply and peak loads:

• Managing power demand spikes: Simultaneously charging over 600 battery-electric buses overnight requires an energy supply equivalent to that of a medium-sized city.

• Service continuity: Such constraints require designing an industrial architecture with absolute safety, capable of handling peak demand without risk of power outage to guarantee public service continuity.

The scope of work delivered by SEGULA Technologies, in consortium with Martínez Segovia, spans the full intellectual study and technical direction phase:

• MEP Engineering: Basic design and comprehensive construction plans (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing).

• Electrical Infrastructure: Design of a new dedicated electrical substation and an integrated sectioning center.

• Charging Systems: Modeling of automated high-capacity smart charging stations.

The future operations center integrates next-generation engineering technologies to meet high performance and self-sufficiency standards:

• Digital Twin (Advanced BIM Methodology): Full simulation and real-time optimization of the complex’s overall energy performance.

• Green Self-Consumption: Installation of a large-scale solar photovoltaic plant on-site combined with advanced water recovery systems.

• Critical Industrial Safety: Development of a state-of-the-art fire protection and suppression system tailored to high-voltage battery constraints.

• 120 000 m² : Total built area of the Las Tablas industrial complex.
• + 630 bus : Capacity for simultaneous management and charging of electric vehicles.
• 3 400 m² : Building dedicated to technical training and mobility management.

• Integrated Delivery Model: Perfect technical synergy combining complex civil infrastructure with high-power electrical engineering.

• Energy Sovereignty: Optimized power flows thanks to the integration of smart charging and on-site renewable energy generation.

• Security & Reliability: Guaranteed public service continuity for one of Europe’s densest urban transport networks.
