Supporting Urban Rail Operations Beyond the Tracks


São Paulo Metro Line 5 – Guido Calói Depot

São Paulo Metro Line 5’s Guido Calói Depot required technical buildings and associated infrastructure to support the maintenance and operation of rolling stock. Quadrante contributed engineering design for key depot facilities.

The scope included detailed design of foundations and structures for technical buildings, together with the internal road network, earthworks, pavements, drainage, signage and safety. The depot facilities covered approximately 24,000 m² of built area, including a maintenance building, a 35 m-high water tower and a covered pedestrian overpass approximately 125 m long.
