Kosekoy-Gebze line, Turkey

Construction Kosekoy-Gebze line, Turkey

The project involved the reconstruction and renewal of the double track Kosekoy-Gebze line as an integral and particularly important part of the Ankara-Istanbul high speed corridor.

In addition to complete full renewal of rails, sleepers and crushed stone, the new catenary system was installed, as well as the signalling and telecommunications plant.

Our partner companies - Salini-Impregilo and Kolin - implemented the civil works, infrastructures and drainage projects.
