Polish railway fitting in European standards
|
Poland is diligently working to adapt its rail infrastructure to international quality standards and connect its major railway lines to the international transportation network. The E-20, an important passenger and freight transportation link between Berlin and Warsaw then on to Minsk and Moscow is one of these rail lines. The 52-kilometer track between Minsk, Mazowiecki, and Siedlce requires the following modifications to meet European standards: an increased operational speed to 160 kilometers per hour (km/h) for passenger trains and 120 km/h for freight trains, increased permissible axle loads need, and increased line capacity and traffic safety. These improvements are necessary prior to Poland becoming a full member of the European Union. ARCADIS is currently supervising and managing the modernization of the E-20 line between Mazowiecki and Siedlce. Our cost-effective approach, our vast experience with complex international rail projects, and our unique rail expertise and superior technical knowledge, won us the work over the competition.
