Finnish road and rail design experts from Sitowise visited Latvia to exchange experiences, including a tour of the Rail Baltica station construction site at Riga Airport (RIX). During the visit, they met with Rail Baltica Airport Project Manager Arnolds Timofejevs and PR Manager Linda Pastare from Eiropas Dzelzceļa līnijas, who spoke about the current stages of the project and its significance for the airport’s development.
The Finnish delegation paid special attention to the architectural and technical solutions of the future station, inspired by the nature of Latvia and the Baltic Sea. The station has been designed taking into account environmental aspects and the traditions of wooden architecture, which underlines the project’s commitment to sustainable development. Wood will be used in the finishing of the façade and the passenger platform, which fits harmoniously with the airport’s development plans.
The construction of the Rail Baltica station is being carried out by the PROSIV consortium, which includes companies from Italy, Slovakia and Latvia. Sitowise representatives also got acquainted with the progress of the work under the supervision of Alexey Tokarev, construction manager of B.S.L. Infra, who spoke in detail about the technologies and construction methods used.
