Warsaw extension awarded to Astaldi

摘要

The Astaldi Group has been awarded a EUR 209M (USD 228.75M) contract to extend Line 2 of the Warsaw metro in Poland, the group announced 2 November. This comes on the heels of Astaldi's construction of the same line's central section, work it completed in March. The new contract calls for the executive design and the construction of the route's eastern section for a total of approximately 3km, from the Dworzec Wilenski Station to the stabling tracks past Station C-18, featuring twin-tube tunnels and three stations. The tunnels are to be excavated using the two TBMs that have already been employed for the boring of the first section of the line, which allow the tunnels to be bored even as they are equipped for the passage of trains. The contract also calls for building the link with the line's central section, as well as the civil and railway systems, superstructure, and all related works. The works are planned to be completed in 36 months, beginning in early 2016.
