Balfour Beatty and Thales have won a 拢335m contract to transform Denmark鈥檚 rail signalling system
Balfour Beatty was awarded the 拢335m contract, in a consortium with Thales, by the railway operator and developer in Denmark, Banedanmark, to transform much of the country鈥檚 rail signalling system.
The award comes just two week after Balfour was appointed to Network Rail鈥檚 new framework agreements to deliver railway signalling projects worth around 拢1.5bn.
Balfour Beatty Rail and Thales will form a collaborative and integrated team to deliver this project covering approximately 60% of Denmark鈥檚 railway network.
Balfour Beatty鈥檚 part in the contract, which is valued at 拢90m, involves an integrated approach to the project by its Rail division in signaling installation, complemented by programme management services from Parsons Brinckerhoff.
Ian Tyler, Balfour Beatty chief executive, said: 鈥淭his award represents further evidence of both the geographic reach and technical capability of the teams in our Rail and Professional Services divisions, the combined skills of which were critical in securing this award.
Working in partnership with our colleagues at Thales, we look forward to helping create a new benchmark for rail signalling performance on behalf of this valued client.鈥�
