The tender for the construction of the Estonian section of Rail Baltica has identified two international consortiums that will implement key stages of the project. These contracts ensure full coverage of the passenger line in Estonia, bringing Rail Baltica closer to the launch of a full-fledged railway corridor between Tallinn and Warsaw by 2030.
The first section will be built by a consortium of GRK Eesti AS, GRK Suomi Oy, Merko Ehitus Eesti, NGE CONTRACTING, Sweco Finland Oy, Sweco Sverige AB and TSO SAS. The second section will be taken by Bouygues Travaux Public, Budimex S.A., INGEROP Conseil et Ingenierie (ICI), KMG Infra OÜ and WSP Finland Oy. The first contract covers the construction of the superstructure on the Ülemiste-Pärnu section and the substructure on the Tootsi-Pärnu section (€394 million), the second – the design and construction of the Pärnu-Ikla line (€332 million).
After the contracts are signed, the design and preparation stage for construction will begin, including the procurement of materials and the development of work schedules. The project is being implemented with the support of the Estonian company BrainTeam OÜ and the Finnish Vison Oy, which specialize in tenders and the management of infrastructure projects.
