The Construction of technical buildings and buildings of regulation and control hosting signalling installations, train protection systems, fixed communications and traffic control centers, needed for the operation and commissioning of different sections as well as tunnel booths at the entrance of the tunnels to accommodate auxiliary systems of energy, detection and/or fixed telecommunications.
