Sapphire Corporation has secured a RMB 276 million (USD 57 million) rail engineering contract for the second phase of the Beijing Metro’s Changping Line.
Company’s fully owned subsidiary Ranken Railway Construction Group will perfom the works on the 12.6 km, 12-station Changping Line’s South extension. The contract is scheduled for completion by December 2020.
The scope of work includes engineering works along a 675.2m-long interval between south Xi’erqi Station and Qinghe Station. It also includes the north and south sections –which span 400m and 574m, respectively –leading out of Qinghe Station as part of the upcoming Beijing Metro Line 19, which is currently under development.
The new contract comes two months after Ranken secured RMB 308 million (USD 63 million) worth of civil engineering and design consultancy contracts for rail infrastructure in Taiyuan and Ningbo, as well as the supervision of metro construction in Chengdu and Hefei.
This new contract in Beijing expands Ranken’s role in one of the world’s busiest metro networks, given continual improvement of rail infrastructure in the top-tier Chinese cities,” Teh Wing Kwan, Sapphire Group CEO said.
Currently, the Changping Line has a length of 32 km with 12 stations, connecting Changping New Town and the downtown area.
