Austria – Railway construction works – (ProVia-ID 157251) St. Pölten - Traisen - Hainfeld / Freiland (Traisentalbahn); Attraktivierung, Bau; Baulos 02.2: Bf. Traisen - Hbf. St. Pölten; Baumeisterarbeiten

For the section 1072 / St. Pölten Hbf. – Traisen, for the section 1071 / Traisen – Hainfeld and for the section 1511 / Traisen – Freiland, electrification and enhancement are planned. The measures can be found in the submission plan and affect the railway infrastructure between St. Pölten and Traisen, Traisen and Hainfeld, and Traisen and Freiland, and have the following main objectives: Upgrading of existing routes: Along the existing route, general modernization measures (safety measures at level crossings, etc.) will be implemented to enable shorter travel times. To ensure efficient operation of passenger traffic, existing crossing options must be improved. Electrification: The infrastructure expansion includes the electrification of the entire route between St. Pölten and Traisen, Traisen and Hainfeld, and Traisen and Schrambach. This step will lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions and thus make an important contribution to climate and environmental protection. The following measures are planned for the project area: New construction of the overhead line from St. Pölten to Traisen. New construction of the overhead line from Traisen to Schrambach. New construction of the overhead line from Traisen to Hainfeld. Construction of a modern interlocking system with integration into the Vienna Control Centre. New construction/adaptation/renovation of the existing EK systems according to EisbKrV 2012, railway crossings or non-public level crossings. Sectional track superstructure work on the route and at the stations. Sectional track substructure work on the route and creation of a cable trench. Sectional renewal of drainage walls and culverts. Sectional renewal of retaining walls and slope stabilizations. Adaptation of stations and stops with partial renewal and extension of existing platforms. The forthcoming tender comprises the advance civil engineering services of contract section 2.2 Bf. Traisen - St. Pölten Hbf. These works represent the final contract section of the Traisentalbahn. To be able to put the new enhanced and electrified Traisentalbahn into operation from the end of 2027, the following services are required, among others: - Construction of the overhead line incl. foundations, - Erection of cable ducts, signal foundations and signal bridges. - New construction of the platform at the Kreisbach stop, incl. new track layout and new slope stabilization. - New construction of the platform at the St. Pölten/Porschestraße stop incl. reinforcement and adaptation of the reinforced concrete components. - New track layout Bf. Traisen tracks 3 and 5a. - Reinforcement of retaining walls and addition of edge beams. - Removal of AGs. - Construction of culverts, drainage walls, - Creation of B+R and P+R.
