Civitanova - Albacina Line Electrification
Project technical details
Project description
This new project system has the following features:
ꞏ Single track lines with 3 kV D.C. electric traction, connecting the stations of Civitanova Marche (km 0+000), Montecosaro (km 7+452), Morrovalle (km 12+811), Corridonia (km 21+722), Macerata (km 27+181), Urbisaglia (km 34+246) Tolentino (km 45+605), S. Severino (km 55+593), Castelraimondo (km 67+149), Matelica (km 74+246) and Albacina (km 86+587); ꞏ 3 kV D.C. power supply of the overhead lines, through the ET cabins of Civitanova Marche (km 0+000) and Albacina (km 86+587), and the Traction Substations of Montecosaro (km 7+700), Urbisaglia (km 34+145) and Castelraimondo (km 66+650);
ꞏ Maximum gradient the same as the current 36%;
ꞏ Minimum curve radius of 215 m;
ꞏ Subsequent maximum cant up to 160 mm;
ꞏ Maximum length of the track transition curves compatible with the track speeds;
ꞏ The track speeds used are between 60 km/h and 115 km/h;
ꞏ To carry out the electrification of the Civitanova Marche - Albacina section and its functions under the regional conditions described above, you need to carry out supplies and jobs organised into construction macro-phases where the ET equipment set-up can be carried out in different areas and at different times across the section in operation.

Brief description
3kV D.C. electrification project of the Civitanova - Albacina line featuring a catenary system with 440 mm² CSA wire, 220 mm² CSA wire and a rigid catenary system in tunnels
Type of Project
Preliminary and final design for the Civitanova - Albacina line
km/catenary mm²
95.000 km of single running plain track
20.930 km of single station plain track
Project technical details
2,979 LSU-type ET masts required by the project
17,874 m³ of concrete for the ET foundations
182.000 km of copper-silver contact wire
135.000 km of copper messenger cable
Critical issues
10 sections of single track with radius curves below standard and tunnels with a smaller inner curved surface (intrados) that only allows the use of a rigid catenary system. 11 stations with modifications to the town master plan (PRG) and activation phases to keep the railway up and running. Studying special framework and non-standard uses.
Final cost
&Euro; 33,619,140.46
95.000 km
