infrastructure solutions in Romania
Part of a major rehabilitation programme for the Rhine-Danube
Corridor
5 March 2020 – Alstom, as
leader of a consortium, has been awarded a contract to provide
digital train control, traffic management and electrification
infrastructure as part of the rehabilitation and modernisation of a
section of the European Rhine-Danube rail corridor in Romania.
Alstom’s share of contract amounts to more than €120 million. The
contract was signed by CFR SA, the Romanian state rail carrier, and
the Asocierea RailWorks consortium1, which Alstom is leading. The
project is expected to last four years. The work will take
place on the subsection Sighisoara-Brasov, part of the European
Rhine-Danube Corridor, which links
Nuremberg-Prague-Vienna-Budapest-Curtici-Simeria-Brasov-Bucharest-Constanta.
Alstom has been active in ongoing rehabilitation works on the
Romanian part of this corridor since 2012.The contract covers the
modernisation of approximately 170 kilometres of railway
infrastructure for passenger trains operating at up to 160 km/h. It
includes infrastructure and superstructure rehabilitation,
electrification, signalling and telecommunication systems,
including GSM-R, as well as civil works. Alstom is directly
responsible for the implementation of a traffic control centre in
the city of Brasov, the digital interlocking and ERTMS Level 2
deployment, passenger information systems and catenary upgrades and
electric traction substations.
“This contract reaffirms Alstom's leading
position on the Romanian railway market, for both digital train
control and electrification. After installing the first modern
traffic management system in Romania, we are now ready to extend
such high-level performance to the new sections. This project will
be another strong reference for Alstom. Bucharest has become a
strategic hub for Alstom’s train control expertise, not just for
local projects, but also the rest of central and eastern Europe,”
explains Gabriel Stanciu, Alstom Managing Director for Romania,
Bulgaria and the Republic of Moldova.
Alstom is a global pioneer in the development
and implementation of on-board digital train control equipment.
ATLAS 200 is Alstom’s ERTMS level 2 solution allowing trains to run
at higher speeds without physical lineside signals. Alstom will
also deliver the traffic management system for the train control
centre and implement the GSM-R telecommunications system.
For the upgrade of the catenary systems, Alstom
will supply its OCS3 catenary solution for main lines, leveraging
its inhouse capabilities at the manufacturing facility in Lecco,
Italy, and its worldwide experience of OCS3 in commercial
operation.
Alstom has been present in Romania for over 25
years and currently employs 450 people in the country. The
company’s ongoing activities include railway rehabilitation
projects in various phases of implementation, as well as the
maintenance of Bucharest metro trains.
