ARCADIS as part of a consortium, is working on the construction management for a 247 km long section of the high speed railway in China from Wuhan to Hwadu.  The total value of the contract is approximately € 16 million, of which ARCADIS' share equals approximately 20%. ARCADIS' role is focussed on ensuring that the quality of the high speed rail line meets international standards.

The project is part of the 935 km long high speed railway line between Wuhan (Hubei province) and Guangzhou (Quangdong province) and is the first high speed line in China, with a design speed of 350 km/hr. The connection will in future link Beijing (via Wuhan), Guangzhou, and Shenzhen with Hong Kong. The project is to be completed within the extremely short timeframe of 54 months. In the consortium, ARCADIS works together with Chinese companies and with MAA Engineering Consultants International Ltd., a company active in the Asian market.
