Ineco has carried out a study into the infrastructure and superstructure of the line 4 of Tallinn metro.
Tram line 4 of Tallinn, capital of Estonia, is subject to high demand at peak hours which is why the authorities are boosting development of electric powered transport in the city.That is why the authorities are boosting development of electric powered transport in the city. Tallinn is not only the country's biggest city but also its financial and political centre. Ineco worked on modernisation of Line 4 of the tram system which will continue to form part of the colourful landscape of this medieval city. We drew up the study for the 16 kilometres of the current Line 4 which connects the Tondi district with the old quarter and Üliste, the site of Lennart Meri airport.The analysis included both the infrastructure and the superstructure to define the operating problems deriving mostly from the age of the rolling stock and the tracks, equipment and facilities.
Technical information
Ineco developed the preliminary design, the specifications for the work to be performed on the line and procurement of the new rolling stock. A total of 15 tram cars were replaced with others with greater passenger capacity and a design adapted to the new infrastructure in accordance with European standards and the energy saving requirements.
In addition to modernising the track and the tram cars, Ineco proposed upgrading of five traction power substations and the construction of a new one.
