Carillion wins Swedish rail contracts

Carillion has secured three separate rail contracts worth around £40 million for the Swedish rail authority Banverket.

The track-doubling project at Motala Mjölby is to improve capacity to the new marshalling yard at Hallsberg and is valued at £22.3 million with a £2.6 million option. The project includes the design and installation of 230km of track with associated overhead line, signalling and telecommunications systems for Banverket Eastern Region. The project, which will begin this month and is scheduled for completion in October 2009, is the largest design and build project let by Banverket for over three years.
