Modernisation and new construction.
From 2009 to 2013, PORR was involved in comprehensive modernisation works on the Votice–Benešov railway line and various new construction projects along this stretch. These works included, among others, the new construction of access routes to the railway tunnels, local roads, a sound insulation wall and the modernisation of sections of the secondary road network near the line. In addition, sewers were laid and service ducts redirected.
An important element of the project comprised the modernisation and new construction of nine bridges, nine railway underpasses and two signal bridges. Three of these railway bridges were realised by different methods: a new bridge construction (underpass) with a tube length of 15.2m, a new construction with a poured reinforced concrete layer of in-situ concrete on piles, and a new construction of a single-span bridge made from concreted steel girders across a double-track line.
The project included, among other things, the construction of new tunnel access points.
