The consortium comprising Ferrovial and Abengoa has been selected by Network Rail<\/a> to electrify 250 km of railway line in southern England for an amount anticipated to be worth in the region of 190 million pounds sterling (230 million euro) over five years.<\/p>\n

The contract includes the engineering, procurement, assembly and commissioning<\/strong> the electrification of the Basingstoke\u2013Southampton and Basingstoke\u2013Reading railway lines in southern England. The works are expected to begin in June and be completed in 2019.<\/p>\n

The project will contribute to the region’s economic and social development by creating employment both directly and indirectly; and the consortium has agreed to hire 80% of personnel locally. To mitigate the environmental impact, a carbon emissions reduction plan has been designed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The contract is part of the national electrification program of Network Rail, the UK’s main railway infrastructure company.<\/p>\n

This new contract strengthens Ferrovial’s position, through its UK subsidiary Amey<\/a>, as one of Network Rail’s main contractors, while it continues to increase its experience in services to a range of railway operators and suppliers in the UK, including Transport for London<\/a>, which manages London Underground.<\/p>\n

Abengoa is firmly established as a leading developer of railway projects throughout the world. It is currently building a 450 km high-speed railway line between Mecca and Medina, in Saudi Arabia. It was also recently awarded a contract to develop, operate and maintain the electrical system for the two new lines of the Santiago de Chile metro.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
