Recently inaugurated, Barcelona\u2019s well-known Proven\u00e7a station is the second busiest station in the rail system with more than 4,500 users during rush hours. Thus, a platform extension was necessary to improve the quality of this public transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Xavier Flores, Director General of Mobility Infrastructures of the Generalitat de Catalunya” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” author_text_align=”center” custom_margin=”||22px|||” custom_padding=”45px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The station had a platform access problem and congestion issues at certain times because of the high number of users.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||50px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A side gallery was opened to expand the platform in the Sarri\u00e0 direction from three to eight net meters.

This image features engineering that matches dignified finishes which are long-lasting and functional. Therefore, easy-to-maintain non-combustible materials were needed in addition to anti-vandalism, resistant and detachable materials.<\/p>\n This was possible by choosing a material like Neolith\u00ae. The large format and minimal thickness perfectly fit the construction requirements. The cut possibilities and minimal maintenance also did.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.neolith-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Neolith-estacion-provenza-07.jpg” title_text=”Neolith-estacion-provenza-07″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.neolith-group.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Neolith-estacion-provenza-25.jpg” title_text=”Neolith-estacion-provenza-25″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||70px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Neolith\u00ae fixing systems were another reason for choosing Sintered Stone as both systems used comply with the applicable fire prevention standards.<\/p>\n Neolith\u00ae Arctic White<\/a> <\/span>was the model chosen to cover the 50-meter gallery, both for the curvy and horizontal areas where the <\/span>System Strongfix, was used, as well as for the vertical walls using the <\/span> HC System<\/p>\n The initial project, however, suggested vitrified steel paneling.
