Czech railway industry expands abroad (2. strana)
The Czech railway industry increasingly expands to foreign markets

trams and underground trains that reduce
the noise level of public transport. Yet, the
company also sees great potential in Asia,
where it has two representative offices, in
India and Hong Kong.
Since 1993, TTC MARCONI has been
active ion the European telecommunicati-
ons markets as a system integrator and
a major supplier of next-generation com-
munication networks, especially for criti-
cal infrastructure, energy, transport, pub-
lic administration, defence and security.
TTC MARCONI is represented through
branches in Slovakia and Ukraine, for
example.
The company První Signální safeguards
transport on underground rails, tram lines
and depots. Recently, it has also focused
on the Smart City segment. With its smart
solutions, it is conquering the world, with
sales representatives in Europe (Slovakia,
Poland, Bulgaria, Finland, Sweden, Nor-
way, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Turkey)
and also in the USA and Israel.

Over 300 kilometres of high-speed lines
are currently being designed in the Czech Republic
The Railway Administration has conclu-
ded another contract for design works for
the future network of high-speed lines
(VRT). The technical design will be awar-
ded to the section of the VRT Střední Če-
chy between Poříčany and Světlá nad Sá-
zavou, which will be part of the line from
Prague to Brno. Designers are already
preparing in detail more than 300 kilo-
metres 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 Ma-
cDonald CZ and MOTT MACDONALD
LIMITED. The tender was awarded in
accordance with the Best Value method,
which significantly contributes to the se-
lection of a quality supplier and reduces
the risk of defects in the final work. Using
this method, the railway administration al-
so 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 ex-
perience with project negotiations in the
regions.
The almost 80-kilometre section is con-
nected to the already designed VRT Pola-
bí 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 pas-
senger transport and trains will run on it at
a speed of 320 km/h. The journey betwe-
en Prague and Brno will be shortened to
one hour after the completion of the enti-
re line.
As of this date, the Railway Administrati-
on is preparing the technical design for
more than 300 kilometres of new high-
speed 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 & Bu-
ild tenders will begin and processes for
property settlement will be set up.
