Over 300 kilometres of high-speed lines

are currently being designed in the Czech Republic

The Railway Administration has concluded another contract for design works for

the future network of high-speed lines

(VRT). The technical design will be awarded to the section of the VRT Střední Čechy between Poříčany and Světlá nad Sázavou, which will be part of the line from

Prague to Brno. Designers are already

preparing in detail more than 300 kilometres of new lines.

The contract for the preparation of the

documentation for the zoning decision

(DÚR) and documents for the EIA process

was awarded to an association consisting

of SUDOP PRAHA, Egis Rail, Mott MacDonald CZ and MOTT MACDONALD

LIMITED. The tender was awarded in

accordance with the Best Value method,

which significantly contributes to the selection of a quality supplier and reduces

the risk of defects in the final work. Using

this method, the railway administration also set important design objectives, which

included the environmental friendliness of

the construction. The track should blend

into the landscape as much as possible.

The procurement procedure was set up

while taking into account the previous experience with project negotiations in the

regions.

The almost 80-kilometre section is connected to the already designed VRT Polabí from Prague to Poříčany, which is also

part of the new high-speed line from the

capital to Brno. The timetable for the work

assumes that planning permission will be

obtained in 2025. The construction itself

should then start about two years later.

The line will be used exclusively for passenger transport and trains will run on it at

a speed of 320 km/h. The journey between Prague and Brno will be shortened to

one hour after the completion of the entire line.

As of this date, the Railway Administration is preparing the technical design for

more than 300 kilometres of new highspeed lines. Design work is also under

way for two VRT terminals – Prague East

and Roudnice nad Labem. This year, the

technical designs of several lines will be

completed, preparations for Design & Build tenders will begin and processes for

property settlement will be set up.
