The 49km-long Pajares Bypass connects the municipalities of La Robla (León) and Pola de Lena (Asturias).
It is part of the future León – Asturias High-Speed Line (LAV). The project includes a 25km-long bi-directional tunnel, which is the second-longest tunnel in the country.
Under the contract, the consortium will deliver the safety and security systems for the tunnels, which include ventilation, fire doors, emergency radio and gas detection.
It will also offer the power supply for the entire system and connect it into the customer’s SCADA remote-control platform.

In 2014, Adif awarded a €36m contract to a consortium of Alstom and Indra for the delivery of safety and security systems for 12 tunnels of the new Madrid-Asturias high-speed rail line.
Constructora San Jose has also been a part of many sections of the main high-speed lines in Spain.
