Smart infrastructure for the operation and maintenance of modern mobility systems
Depots and workshops are critical to ensuring the reliability, safety and efficiency of transport systems. At Sener, we design and manage these facilities across all modes — including rail, light rail, subways, monorails and BRT systems. Our work covers both new construction and the adaptation of existing installations to accommodate evolving vehicle fleets, automated technologies and sustainability goals. We apply a multidisciplinary, lifecycle-oriented approach that aligns infrastructure performance with operational excellence.
We have successfully delivered depot and workshop infrastructure in major metro and LRT projects in Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East. Our portfolio includes facilities for systems such as Panama Metro Line 1, São Paulo Metro Line 6, Barcelona Line 9 and Riyadh Metro.
Our strength lies in comprehensive engineering: we integrate architecture, civil engineering, electromechanical systems, rolling stock interfaces and operations management into a cohesive, efficient depot solution. We ensure that each facility is fit-for-purpose, scalable and aligned with client and operator needs — from daily maintenance and refueling to overhaul and fleet optimization. Our experts also incorporate energy-efficient systems, intelligent ventilation and smart asset monitoring technologies.
From pit tracks and washing bays to automated inspection lines and smart energy systems, we design depots as hubs for innovation and operational efficiency. Our engineering includes HVAC, power, signaling, fire safety and IT systems, ensuring seamless integration with the wider network. We also integrate specialized equipment such as lifting platforms, turntables and washing systems.
We tailor each project to its operational requirements: fleet size, maintenance regimes, traffic schedules and environmental conditions. We apply simulation tools and RAMS methodologies to optimize workflows, safety and resilience. Our support spans all project phases, including feasibility studies, design, construction supervision, commissioning and lifecycle asset management consulting.
From functional layouts that maximize space efficiency and safety to automation-ready workshops prepared for electric and hydrogen fleets, we ensure every facility is resilient and sustainable. Our designs are scalable, digitized and aligned with the long-term operational strategies of each client.
Our projects span Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East, including flagship works in Panama, São Paulo, Barcelona and Riyadh. By combining digital integration (SCADA, CMMS, IoT) with energy optimization strategies, we design facilities that guarantee safe, efficient and long-lasting fleet management.
We deliver comprehensive solutions for layout design, civil engineering, electromechanical systems and rolling stock interfaces. From pit tracks, washing bays and inspection lines to HVAC, power supply, fire safety and IT systems, our teams ensure each facility is fit-for-purpose, scalable and future-ready. We also integrate smart ventilation, photovoltaic energy systems and IoT-based monitoring tools, transforming depots into hubs of innovation and operational efficiency.
