Rethinking, reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering resources are the principles that IDOM uses in its railway designs.
Rethink. This is the case of the Lund tram (Sweden) where, instead of approaching drainage from a conventional perspective, IDOM went further by designing with the philosophy of sustainable drainage.
Reduce, reuse, recycle. Based on criteria of Near Zero Energy Building (nZEB), IDOM’s design for the Odense tramway (Denmark) depot, workshop and office building stands out.
Recover. For high-speed and rapid transit projects (Rail Baltica or the DART in Dublin, Ireland) and metro projects (MRT4 Manila in the Philippines, Metrolink in Dublin, Metro Santiago in Chile), IDOM designs and sizes networks for regeneration of energy between lines, as well as on-board storage systems on vehicles or reversible substations.
