| Strabag wins Austria’s largest construction contract ÖBB Infrastruktur AG and Austrian construction group Strabag signed the contract for the construction of the Koralm Tunnel. A consortium under Strabag's technical and commercial leadership will begin work in early 2011 in order to complete construction on the main section by late 2018. With a value of € 570 million, it is the largest construction contract ever awarded in Austria. The Koralm Tunnel is the main section of the new Koralm railway link to be built between Graz and Klagenfurt and represents an important section of the Baltic-Adriatic axis of TEN Corridor No. 23 between Gdańsk, Warsaw, Vienna and Bologna. Upon completion, the Koralm Tunnel will be 32.5 km long, making it the longest railway tunnel in Austria and one of the longest in the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
