КТЖ запустила амбициозную Программу по увеличению пропускной способности железнодорожной инфраструктуры, разработав стратегический план по устранению существующих узких мест в сети. Эта комплексная программа предусматривает ряд улучшений, которые должны быть реализованы к 2030 году, включая расширение существующих станционных путей, строительство дополнительных, создание новых стрелочных переводов и внедрение систем автоматической блокировки. Кроме того, программа амбициозно предусматривает строительство второстепенных путей для повышения пропускной способности сети.
In terms of funding these expansive enhancements, the preliminary financial plan earmarks between 3-7% of the total construction expenses towards the development of design and estimate documentation (DED). To optimize both time and cost efficiencies in this phase, KTZ has instituted an in-house design group, tapping into the expertise of adept designers.
The project group has already initiated the collection of essential permitting documents and commenced survey operations across various branches, including Kostanay, Pavlodar, Almaty, Zhambyl, and Shymkent. By the first semester of 2024, the team aims to wrap up approximately ten project designs, each accompanied by a favorable state examination outcome.
Addressing the pressing issue, the aging state of the railway infrastructure and the fleet is increasingly recognized as a bottleneck for the network’s reliable operation. Against the backdrop of surging cargo transport demands, KTZ is not just planning but actively rolling out four major infrastructure projects. These projects include constructing over 1,300 kilometers of new rail lines across critical segments like Dostyk-Moiynty, Bakhty-Ayagoz, Darbaza-Maktaaral, and a strategic Almaty bypass. Efforts are also channeling into single-track expansions in the Zhezkazgan-Zharyk, Kazaly – Arys, Almaty – Altynkol, Aksu – Zhana-Semey, and Kandyagash – Tobol sections, all aimed at elevating the railway’s operational efficiency and capacity.
