August 2023 - Alstom, global
leader in smart and sustainable mobility, announces that the
Consortium SIF — led by Alstom and including Sofratesa — has been
selected by Fideicomiso para el Desarrollo del Sistema de
Transporte Masivo (FITRAM) of the Dominican Republic to deliver an
integrated Innovia monorail system for the city of Santiago de los
Caballeros1. When complete, the 13-kilometre, 14-station Santiago
de los Caballeros monorail system will be the first of its kind in
the country and in the Caribbean. The system is dimensioned to
carry up to 20,000 passengers per hour per direction (pphpd) and
will provide faster and more efficient connections between the
city’s northwest and southeast areas.
Alstom’s scope within the contract includes
system integration, testing and commissioning of the full system
and the supply of Innovia monorail trains as well as Cityflo 650
GOA4 driverless signalling, Hesop reversible power supply,
conductor rail, high-speed interchange switch systems and depot
equipment. Alstom’s share of the contract is worth approximately
€370 million. This project is carried out with financing from the
French government.
“This is a historic milestone in the development
of sustainable mobility in the Dominican Republic, and we are proud
to have been selected by FITRAM to deliver the country’s first
monorail,” says Iván Moncayo, Alstom’s Managing Director for the
Dominican Republic. “The Dominican Republic is increasingly
committed to developing and expanding urban mobility in the country
and this investment for Santiago de los Caballeros will offer a
modern, safe, comfortable, and reliable transportation option for
the Santiaguense and visitors alike.”
Alstom will deliver the 13 four-car automated
Innovia Monorail 300 trains, which incorporate the design and
operational features required for a high-capacity urban transport
system. These features include automatic driverless operation,
bi-directional operations, and compliance with international safety
requirements and standards. Capitalising on Alstom’s strong
leadership with over 30 years’ expertise in communications-based
train control (CBTC), Alstom’s Cityflo 650 CBTC solution — the
first driverless rail control system in the Dominican Republic—
will support the highest grade of automation (GoA4), allowing for
high reliability, shorter intervals between trains, flexible and
safe operations, and reduced maintenance costs. To further increase
the energy efficiency of the system, Alstom will install Hesop
reversible power stations, which translates into not only building
fewer substations along the alignment but also recovering and
reinjecting up to 99% braking energy from the trains back into the
network.
With over 50 years’ experience and 80 systems in
commercial service worldwide, Alstom is a trusted partner
for delivering integrated turnkey rail systems
customised for every mobility need.Designed to integrate
seamlessly into the urban environment, Alstom’s fully automated and
driverless Innovia monorail systems provide an energy-efficient,
comfortable, and cost-effective mobility solution, particularly for
growing or dense cities. The modern looking and quiet vehicles run
on elevated guideways that are built off-site to permit fast
assembly with minimal disruption on-site. Alstom offers 40+ years
of expertise in successful monorail design, build, operations, and
maintenance, with industry leading availability and safety
standards.
