Thales will design, install, test and commission the Operation Control Centre (OCC) for the new Line 7 of the Santiago metro in Chile and provide associated maintenance services for 10 years.
The new OCC for Line 7, which will be operational by 2027, will be provided mostly by Thales to connect the city from west to east, improving the travel experience and reducing travel times by half for the capitals 1.569 million inhabitants.
Thales and the operator of the Santiago metro in Chile recently signed two contracts for the supply and maintenance of the Operation Control Centre of Line 7, which is due to enter service at the beginning of 2027. The ten-year maintenance contract will come into effect at the beginning of the services.
The new Line 7 of the Santiago metro will connect the city from west to east, serving residents of the districts of Renca, Cerro Navia, Quinta Normal, Santiago, Providencia, Las Condes and Vitacura. The project will improve the travel experience and reduce travel times by half for the capitals 1.569 million inhabitants. With the incorporation of Line 7, the operational metro network will reach a total length of 174 kilometres with 162 stations.
The OCC will command and supervise energy equipment and auxiliary systems, including elevators, escalators, lighting and ventilation equipment, at the new lines 19 stations. Other key functions include energising the line through the traction logic subsystem and managing the access and intrusion control subsystems, which monitor the flow of authorised personnel in the lines stations and workshops to improve operations safety and security.
A back-up centre will ensure line supervision in the event of a failure or emergency to guarantee continuity of service.
We are very pleased to continue working with Santiago metro, as decades of experience have positioned us as a strategic supplier providing the command and supervision systems for all the lines currently available. We are very confident we will be deploying a high-level system. Jean Phillipe Le Nagard, Thales Country Director Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay).
We are proud to have been selected to help expand the metro system in Santiago de Chile. Line 7 will significantly improve passenger mobility in one of Chiles the most densely populated regions. Thales is already the supplier of the command and supervision centres on all existing lines of the Santiago metro (L1, L2, L3, L4, L4A, L5 and L6). The contract for the new line consolidates an enduring relationship with the Santiago metro that dates back for 50 years, and confirms the customers trust in the commitment, professionalism and resilience of Thaless teams, We are delighted to bring our latest-generation OCC to Santiago. It is a major recognition of Thales capability to capture and deliver complex projects based on integrated solutions. This large-scale, strategic project further strengthens our leadership in the region. - Beno t Couture, Vice-President for Integrated Communications and Supervision activities, Thales
