Egis, in association with Sudop Praha, Moravia Consult, and Metroprojekt has been selected by the Railways Administration (SŽ) as the winner of the tender for the design of a section of the high-speed line from Prague to Brno in the Svitla nad Sazavou-Velka area, Bíteš section. The contract was signed yesterday, November 11.
The project is part of an extensive high-speed rail (HSR) system that has been under development in the Czech Republic since 2017. The country is actively developing its first HSR network connecting Germany to Slovakia and Hungary, with plans to extend to Romania, as part of the TEN-T network under European financing (CEF funds).
The scope of work includes developing the entire infrastructure and systems, including trackwork, railway systems, road networks, bridges, EMC Studies, RAMS and traction simulations for HSL. Egis is responsible for the HSL signaling (approximately 50 km), a 15-km track section, one station, bridges, and roads in the designated area.
Egis already holds a strong position in the Czech Republic on similar projects. Today the team is working on another 8 planning permit designs for HSL in the country.
