| Atkins awarded contracts on Norways High Speed Rail Study Atkins has been selected to carry out two studies on a proposed new high speed rail system in Norway - the biggest transport study of its kind in the country. This will involve a combination of market, financial and economic analysis which will be carried out by our transport planning business, with work beginning immediately. The task of the High Speed Study is to recommend strategies for future passenger train transport in South Norway. The study is organised as an independent project organisation, but is under the control of the Norwegian National Rail Administration (Jernbaneverket). The project, which is due for completion in February 2012, will be a vital part of the National Transport Plan 2014 - 2023. The High Speed Study has been divided into three phases; Phase 1, which assessed the value of previous studies, Phase 2 which created a new baseline for future work and Phase 3 which will involve the detailed study of the following routes: Oslo Bergen Oslo Kristiansand Stavanger Oslo Trondheim Oslo Gothenburg Oslo Stockholm Bergen Haugesund Stavanger in combination with Oslo Bergen and Oslo Kristiansand - Stavanger. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
