LCS Idzikowice on the Central Railway Line
“Modernisation of the Idzikowice station” is a contract carried out by the consortium of Budimex and KZA Lublin. The scope of work included: construction and modernization of the track surface with subgrade and drainage, reconstruction of the overhead contact line and power network, construction of new railway traffic control devices, reconstruction of teletechnical networks and construction of a control room with and expansion of the emergency group hall of PKP PLK maintenance services. We implemented the contract in the “design and build” formula.
The works were carried out as part of the project “Modernization of railway line No. 4 – Central Trunk Line stage II”, which aims to adapt one of the most important railway lines in Poland to the speed of 250 km/h. To achieve this goal, 14 pcs. turnouts with a movable nose of the crossing, 10 with a radius of R = 1200 and 4 with a radius of R = 500. In total, we have built 44 new turnouts, 19 km of tracks and 25 km of overhead contact line at the Idzikowice station. The works had to be planned well in advance and carried out on strictly defined dates due to the large regime of track closures on one of the most important railway lines in Poland.
