Banedanmark, the Danish railway infrastructure owner, has awarded Alstom a contract worth around 300 million to replace the existing signaling system in the East region of Denmark with Atlas, Alstoms ERTMS based signalling solution. Alstoms Atlas solution will enable Banedanmark, to increase the traffic regularity and double the capacity of the network. The contract also includes 25 years of maintenance.
The preliminary design phase will last approximately 18 months. The first line (Roskilde-Køge-Næstved) will be delivered by 2017.
Jesper Hansen, CEO, Banedanmark said: By signing contract with Alstom, we are entering into close cooperation with a supplier which is able to deliver both a technically modern and a mature solution. Alstom has proven this aspect in operation. Alstom is able to implement the new system in the whole Eastern Denmark, and simultaneously we are able to ensure the careful use of our government funds by using the most economically advantageous tender. We look forward to a good and fruitful cooperation with Alstom to secure the future of the railway in Eastern Denmark and improve regularity for passengers.
