Abstract

87
The Marquês station is placed on the boundary between the Santo Ildefonso, Borfim, and Paranhos districts, and the Marquês de Pombal square. The station is created by a central shaft built in the cut and cover manner constituting the core of the station. This shaft is surrounded by two cavities, built as a tunnel, constituting the other part of the station. It works as a M1 station although construction wise is a M1/M3 type. Each platform has two entrances allowing it to reach the high mezzanine so installing the M3 type emergency exits was not necessary. The Marquês station has five levels.
