The contract involves the provision of design and design supervision services to build railway track substructure, superstructure, and related civil structures on the new standard gauge (1435mm) high-speed double track, electrified railway Rail Baltica line section from Kaunas Urban Node to Vilnius Urban Node.

The Rail Baltica mainline Kaunas Urban Node – Vilnius Urban Node section includes 65km of 1,435mm-gauge railway double-track, and reconstruction of around 16km of the existing 1,520mm gauge railway line.

Furthermore, it will include three passing loops, ten road viaducts, one road tunnel, 13 railway viaducts, eight wildlife crossings, 15 culverts, and other infrastructure and utilities.

RB Rail Lithuanian branch head Marius Narmontas said: “One of our key strategic goals is to ensure healthy and transparent competition in the Rail Baltica procurements constantly developing the best practice. 

“Re-launch will help to integrate into the procurement regulation revised qualification requirements allowing wider market participation.”

Recently, RB Rail signed an enterprise agreement with Esri to integrate geographic information system (GIS) software across all project units.
