History[]

Platform of Tatuapé station (RFFSA), in its first years of work.

The project of Tatuapé station began in 1973, when the Federal Railway Network (RFFSA) and the São Paulo Metro agreed for the construction of an east track of the Line East-West (current Line 3-Red).[2] The first project was published on May 1975 and predicted the connection of the Metro lines and RFFSA suburbs in Tatuapé station.[3] The construction of Line East-West began on March 1976, but the first Executive Order of expropriation for the construction of the future Tatuapé station was published only on June.[4][5]

Besides the signature of a memorandum of understanding between RFFSA and the Metro on June 1977, the station construction were initiated by constructure company Beter S.A. only on 29 April 1978.[6][7] On 29 April 1979, a new phase of construction was launched, when a new track of Radial Leste was delivered, allowing the start of the construction of the main block of Tatuapé station, with a 18,000 square metres (190,000 sq ft) total area.[8] Promised for mid-1980, the station had its opening delayed because of problems with funds.[9]

Tatuapé station was opened by Governor Paulo Maluf, using a wheelchair (besides the station didn't have any elevator - the first was installed only in 1982), on 5 November 1981.[10]

Characteristics[]

The route between Belém and Tatuapé demanded an excavation of 313,346 cubic metres (11,065,700 cu ft) of soil, 7,713 metres (25,305 ft) of stakes of "Franki" type, 4,675 cubic metres (165,100 cu ft) of structural concrete, 1,428 cubic metres (50,400 cu ft) of pre-molded concrete, 155,327 cubic metres (5,485,300 cu ft) of backfill, and 1,021 metres (3,350 ft) of metallic stacking.[11]

Tatuapé is a station with distribution mezzanine above island and side platforms on surface, structure in apparent concrete and lattice special metallic cover. It has access for people with disabilities and reduced movements, a 34,680 square metres (373,300 sq ft) area, and capacity for 60,000 passengers per hour in peak hours.[12]
