The new intercity line Toluca – Mexico City has a length of 57.7 km. The daily passenger estimate is about 230,000 to 300,000. The investment volume amounts to 2.5 bn US$. Its special feature is the MAURER seismic protection system for two long viaducts. The company installs for this purpose so‐called guided cross‐ties, the first absolutely earthquake‐proof railroad bridge expansion joints. Together with a complex system consisting of bearings, dampers and elastomeric spring isolators they ensure structural stability, function and safety for various load cases: from braking and acceleration forces in normal operation to the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE). MAURER startet to work for this project in 2016. The last step scheduled is the installation of the guided cross‐ties at viaduct 4 in the third quarter of 2020.
