The Consorcio PML2—comprised of Louis Berger and Spanish consultant
partners Ayesa and Metropolitan Transports of Barcelona—was selected for
the project after receiving the highest proposal score based on
technical and economic criteria. The new 13-mile line is the second of
four lines in the government’s plan to provide efficient, sustainable
transport in the Panama City metropolitan area, which supports 1.2
million residents. Line 2 includes 16 stations along an elevated
alignment from an interchange with Line 1 at San Miguelito serving the
districts of December 24, among others.
“We are honored to play a key role in the second line of the Panama
metro system and welcome the opportunity to assist in developing
Panama’s transportation network,” said Sofia Berger, Louis Berger’s vice
president in charge of Latin America and the Caribbean.
“Louis Berger is combining local knowledge with global expertise to
deliver solutions tailored for the people of Panama,” said D. James
Stamatis, president of Louis Berger’s international operations. “As one
of the largest engineering firms in the world with regional headquarters
in Panama, we will work closely with our Panama Metro client to deliver
a transportation solution for the people of Panama by combining our
50-year history within the transportation sector in Latin America with
our extensive global rail expertise, which includes signature programs
in Ankara, Turkey; Bangkok, Thailand; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Doha, Qatar;
and Mumbai, India.”
