The project “Miraconcha-Easo” defines a new section of Donostia‐San Sebastian´s Metro, it is 1.77 km. long and it includes the definition of two new stations. The beginning of the line is in half of a tunnel, continuing the previous metro line, until it reaches the city centre where the station “Centro‐La Concha” is located, and then it turns south to reach the Easo station and continues to connect with the current railway line.
The future served population will be of more than 50,000 (5 min) and 115,000 (10 min). Our detailed design completely defines the line runs entirely undergrounded and the tunnel will be made by the New Austrian Method (NATM), except for the final stretch of 130 m. that will be cut-and-cover. Other key features are: Tunnel ventilation shafts, two elevators, 5 pumping wells, Fire prevention systems, Electric installations, Tunnel lighting, escalators and lifts, telecommunications, information signaling, facilities and environmental features.
