Ayesa Ingeniería will design part of Lima’s ring road, a 3.3 billion euro mega project
It will carry out the detailed engineering on a fifteen-kilometre section, which represents 55% of the Capex.
The new toll road will connect eleven districts and will benefit more than 4.5 million people.
Ayesa has scored a new milestone as one of the world’s leading design engineering firms. The firm will be a strategic player in the mega-project of the Peripheral Road Ring of Lima (Peru), a work budgeted at 3,300 million euros. The VIAL LIMA-CALLAO consortium formed by Ferrovial-Sacyr-Acciona has awarded it the detailed engineering for one of the three sections of this toll road.
The new 34.8-kilometre urban route will improve the connection between Lima and Callao by connecting eleven districts, and will benefit more than 4.5 million people. Section 2 covers 15.1 kilometres between Túpac Amaru and Naranjal avenues, representing approximately 55% of the Capex. On this route, Ayesa will develop the definitive engineering studies (EDIs) in a maximum execution period of 35 months.
Mariluz Ramírez, director of the Transport division for LATAM at Ayesa, explains that ‘this section will be designed as an express road with three lanes in each direction and will include two double tunnels, numerous structures and walls and a trunk toll station and a lateral one, together with side lanes to facilitate local traffic’.
This project represents a definitive solution to traffic congestion in the city, improving connectivity with key arteries such as the Panamericana Norte, Panamericana Sur and the Central highway. It will also connect with the main urban transport systems of metropolitan Lima and Callao, including Lima metro line 1, line 2, the branch of line 4, the metropolitan railway and the future San Juan de Lurigancho-Independencia cable car.
The new route incorporates advanced technologies such as design information management (BIM) and asset management and intelligent transport systems (ITS) in its design to ensure efficient and safe infrastructure management.
Its construction is expected to generate more than 70,000 jobs, boosting the economic and social development of the region.
This contract reinforces Ayesa’s position in road design, with thousands of kilometres executed worldwide. In Latin America it is one of the most recognised international engineering firms in the development of large road concessions, with more than twenty references, and in Peru it has been involved in the design of important urban transport infrastructures, such as lines 1, 2 and 4 of the metro and the New Roads of Lima.
