The Madrid Chamartín Clara Campoamor Railway Station expansion is one of the largest infrastructure projects in Spain. The expansion project aims to increase the capacity of the railway station and improve the overall passenger experience. Dextra supplied 60,000 linear meters of Sonitec, a crosshole sonic logging (CSL) testing tube, for the piling work of the project.

Madrid Chamartín Clara Campoamor Railway Station is one of Spain’s busiest railway stations, serving more than 60 million passengers each year. The expansion project was necessary to accommodate the increasing demand for train services in the city. The project involved the construction of new platforms, tracks, and passenger facilities.

Dextra, a leading supplier of construction solutions, was chosen to supply the Sonitec crosshole sonic logging (CSL) testing tube for the piling work of the project. The Sonitec tube is a highly advanced system that enables precise and accurate measurements of pile integrity. The system employs crosshole sonic logging technology to assess pile conditions, ensuring they are strong enough to support the weight of the railway station.

Using the Sonitec crosshole sonic logging testing tube enabled the construction team to carry out the piling work with confidence and ensured the structural integrity of the piles. The system provided real-time data on pile conditions, enabling the construction team to make informed decisions and implement any necessary adjustments during the construction process.
