Czechia
The objective is to build a unified transport system with such parameters and technical equipment that the railway system will be able to provide safe, high quality and efficient transportation services, considering the needs and requirements of the target users and last but not least, being environmentally friendly. The harmonisation of the technical and operational specifications of the trans-European railway system is of key importance for the free movement of trains in the internal European market from this perspective. The project implementation shall contribute to the fulfilment of the objectives set by the EU Transport Policy.
Objectives of the project:
- Improved security and reliability of rail infrastructure;
- Comfort and prestige of the railways;
- Reduction of operational and maintenance costs;
- Reduction of noise and air pollution;
- Reduction of travelling time;
- Reduction of accidents;
Fulfilment of international norms agreed within the frame; of AGC and AGTC agreements (TSI/TEN-T) for the improvements of competitiveness on transport trade.
The Projects entails upgrading Bratislava-SK/CZ border railway line, located entirely on the Orient-East Med Core Network Corridor/Rail Freight Corridor 7. All three segments - Devinska Nova Ves-Zohor-Malacky (20.5 km), Malacky – Kúty (26 km) and Kúty-SK/CZ border (6.6 km) - are integral parts of the pre-identified Bratislava-Breclav cross-border section (as set out in Annex I to the CEF Regulation). The foreseen activities are engineering works a project documentation, construction works, supervision and project management. Once implemented, conventional express trains will be able to travel at 200 km/h instead of currently 120-140 km/h.
The modernisation of the railway track proposes the modification of the routing of the railway sections for the speed up to 200 kph (where possible) for the passenger transport in line with national regulations and standards TSI NTR=200kph. In the framework of the modernisation, the following measures will be undertaken:
- complex renewal of the ground body railway substructure and superstructure, reduction of obsolete tracks and operation equipment, protection devices, basic construction of platforms or half-platforms, main through tracks not in contact with platforms;
- modification of the traction line and heavy current devices in the train stations corresponding to the configuration of station throats, complex renewal of traction and power supply system to the required level in the section between stations;
- elimination of all level crossings and their replacement with grade separated interchanges or their removal without replacement;
- reconstruction of the tracks and station throat respectively in order to increase the through speed, through tracks without platforms, with the useful length of side tracks of 750 m in the selected stations equipped with transport technology;
- renewal of the railway bridge structures in order to provide standard spatial possibility and D4 load capacity.
