Trakcja PRKiI has signed contracts for two tasks under the construction of the Szczecin Metropolitan Railway with a total value of more than PLN 503 million net.
“I am pleased that Trakcja PRKiI has won further investment projects that will improve public transport around the agglomeration – says Marek Kacprzak, Vice-President of the Management Board of Trakcja PRKiI.We have experience in delivering tasks of this type, in which we draw on our strong assets in the form of our own design company and equipment company. Trakcja PRKiI is constantly expanding its delivery capacity and increasing employment.”
The first of the contracts provides for the modernisation of 24 km of railway line no. 406 on the Szczecin Główny – Police section, a section that has been closed to passenger traffic for years. The works will include the replacement of the track surface, the trackbed and 49 turnouts. In addition, 7 railway stations, 8 passenger stops and 36 engineering structures will be renovated. The investment also provides for the construction of 5 new stops and related passenger service facilities. The works will include the installation of railway traffic control equipment and environmental protection elements. This task, worth more than 390 million net, will be completed within 25 months.
The second of the contracts provides for the modernisation of selected elements of passenger infrastructure on railway lines 273, 351 and 401. The works will include track alignment, the extension and construction of new platforms, the construction of the new Szczecin Dunikowo passenger stop together with an underpass beneath the tracks, and the construction of an underpass at Szczecin Dąbie station. The works, worth almost 113 million net, will be completed within 22 months.
The Szczecin Metropolitan Railway is an investment that will connect the largest cities of the metropolitan area – Stargard, Goleniów, Gryfino and Police – with Szczecin. Thanks to the construction of a modern and integrated rail network, passengers will gain a completely new level of travel comfort.
“Over the past week we have signed three contracts with a total value of more than PLN 1 billion, of which almost PLN 800 million is to be delivered by Trakcja PRKiI and its subsidiaries. In two cases our bids exceeded the contracting authority’s budget, while in the third they were comparable. We plan to continue this safe bidding policy, particularly as contracting authorities are giving greater weight to non-price criteria” – adds Vice-President Marek Kacprzak.
