Transport terminals are infrastructures that allow the connection between different means of transport and the transfer of passengers between them.. They are located in urban areas and can be of vari42ous types, depending on the type of transport they house, such as bus stations, train stations, metro stations, airports or maritime terminals.Sando Construcción specialises in the construction of transport terminals.

The evolution of mobility towards more sustainable models is increasingly demanding intermodal transport terminals that facilitate the movement of passengers between different modes of transport at lower economic and time costs. In addition, the evolution of society, particularly its travel needs, is leading to the design of modern transport terminals incorporating numerous services and leisure offers aimed at improving the traveller’s experience during waiting times.

Apart from the necessary functionality to fulfil the objectives for which they are designed, they must also meet efficiency and sustainability criteria in their construction and subsequent operation, respond to accessibility parameters for all people, and, increasingly importantly, have an attractive design.

From an architectural and engineering point of view, being generally located in urban areas, transport terminal design must, in many cases, be adapted to limited floor areas without losing the main functionality of allowing the fluid circulation of passengers and vehicles, minimising congestion.
