For the Czech company AŽD, this is already the seventh contract in Poland, this time in the role of subcontractor of the civil construction company PNUIK. The project is co-financed by the European Union through KPO program (National Reconstruction plan) and is to be completed within 25 months from the conclusion of the contract.
The AŽD company figures in the project as a subcontractor of a fully digital station interlocking systems ESA 44-PL for five railway stations and a 50 km track section. The Kępno – Oleśnica line will also be equipped with 65 electromechanical point machines, 65 signals and 50 level crossing systems. Some supplies, for example in the field of telecommunications and passenger information systems, are provided by partner Polish companies.
"Obtaining this order confirms the good name that AŽD has built up on the Polish market, and opens up space for other orders on nearby lines. Every other signed contract is an appreciation of the work AŽD has done so far with our northern neighbours, and we value this trust very much," says AŽD CEO Zdeněk Chrdle.
