MAPNA Group has been assigned to expand operations in the construction of Tehran Metro Line 6, as part of the plans to enhance the capital’s green means of transportation.
On Sunday Nov. 07, 2021, a MAPNA Group consortium consisting of MAPNA Railway Construction and Development Company and Sabir Dam & Water Works Construction Company won a tender to construct the first phase Line Six’s depot and Dolat-Abad Station.
The project is envisaged to be completed within 24 months.
Tehran Metro Line 6 has a depot and a main parking lot in Dolatabad Station in an area of 44 hectares and will be constructed in two phases.
The first phase entails the construction of communication tunnels, landscaping, access roads and transportation within the terminal, energy trenches, office buildings and equipment, parking lots and repair shops, test line, and electrical and mechanical installations, all of which have been entrusted to the MAPNA-Sabir consortium under this contract.
Tehran Urban and Suburban Railway Operation Company is the client of the Line 6 project.
The scope of the megaproject also includes manufacturing of main equipment and spare parts, transportation, installation, test and commissioning, preparation of engineering documents, and personnel training for operation.
Once fully operational, Tehran Metro Line 6 will give the capital’s subway system the longest route in Iran. The line will stretch over 31 kilometers with 27 stations, starting from Sulqan in the northwest and ending in Dolat-Abad district in the southeast.
In further stages, Line 6 will expand to Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine in the ancient district of Rey to the south of the city, becoming the longest subway route in the Middle East with 36 kilometers of length.
Tehran Metro Line 6 has two important features: first, it equips the southeastern areas of Tehran as well as the districts 2 and 5 in the west and northwest, which are the most populous areas of the city, with modern transportation system; second, Line 6 intersects with all other Tehran Metro lines.
The Tehran Metro Line 6 marks MAPNA Group’s first move in the subway civil engineering.
The first phase of Line 6, stretching nine kilometers with 3 stations, opened in March 2019 and three more stations joined the line in October 2020. Efforts have been made by the Central Bank of Iran, Tehran Municipality, and the government, to accelerate the complete implementation of the project.
