The construction of the Rail Baltica station near Riga Airport continues with the construction of viaducts that will raise the railway line above ground for convenient passenger movement. An important stage of the project was the completion of the reinforced concrete frame of the station, which already reaches three floors. In the future, the station will be connected to the airport by a pedestrian bridge, and the railway line in the directions of Riga and Jaunmārupe will pass along viaducts up to one kilometre long.
The construction company B.S.L. Infra has already installed 96 piles in the direction of Jaunmārupe, and demolition work is underway on old buildings on Piestatens Street. In the airport area, the reconstruction of utility networks and the reconstruction of the fuel station and boiler house to accommodate the future viaduct are ongoing. At the same time, work has begun on installing piles for the viaduct in the direction of Riga, including testing the piling technology.
To reduce noise and vibration, a drilling and concreting method known as the Kelly technique is used. The height of the station with a completed concrete structure is 20 meters, and the total volume of concrete used reaches 23,000 m³.
