Czech railway infrastructure manager, SŽDC will launch in the next few months repairs and reconstructions of dozens of passenger buildings throughout the country.
The first project, which will be launched in April, envisages repairs of the Fanta building facade at the largest Czech railway station and repairs of the building at Praha-Smíchov Station. Repairs of the Fanta building will not include inner premises in any way. Only the facade, windows and partly the roof are going to be repaired, valuated at EUR 6.7 million (CZK 171 million). At Praha-Smíchov Station, a complete reconstruction of the entire passenger building will take place with the objective of its maximal use, a boost in using its premises and improving travelling comfort. Among others, offers of complementary services for passengers will be added such as new commercial premises for a supermarket. In case of smooth building licence proceedings, works on reconstructing the former clinic in Jeseniova Street in Prague will also be launched. The cost of repairs at Praha- Smíchov will amount to EUR 15.6 million (CZK 400 million).
Another project, valuated at EUR 9.1 million (CZK 233 million), involves complete reconstruction of the passenger building in Beroun, which will be launched in July. Construction works will be concentrated on the modernization of the departure hall and the neighbouring administration building which will continue serving its purpose. The repaired offices will be manned by SŽDC employees.
At Písek railway station, complete reconstruction works will start in autumn, valuated at EUR 1.37 million (CZK 35 million). On the ground floor, new lavatories for passengers will be constructed. Administration premises and new parking places will be built here as well.
In April, reconstruction of the passenger building at Havířov railway station will start as the largest project implementation to be launched this year in Moravia. Not only the hall is going to be reconstructed but its left administration part as well with a new waiting room for passengers and a resting room for train crews. Inner premises of the station building will be offered to an external tenant. Costs of the reconstruction which will last approximately 24 months will equal EUR 5.4 million (CZK 138 million).
In Bohumín, the final phase of the passenger building reconstruction will start in September, having been launched by the original owner, České dráhy. Roof over a part of the building will be repaired as well as transport office premises including a background for employees and premises destroyed by fire in 2016.
An interesting project in Moravia will be a reconstruction of the station building in Hanušovice where a part of the current building is going to be demolished, the background for passengers will improve considerably and many other construction adaptations will be carried out.
In 2019, reconstruction of passenger buildings will also start at Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Šternberk, Křižanov and Třebíč railway stations.
Besides these extensive investments, SŽDC will be implementing this year hundreds of smaller investments throughout the whole Czech Republic within repairs and maintenance of station and operation buildings. In Bohemia, the company will start the repairs of the roof and underground utilities of the building at Praha-Holešovice, repairs of the roof and revitalization of public lavatories at Most, repairs of the roof and platform roofing at Český Krumlov or various construction works at Horažďovice, Velký Osek and Rumburk.
On the east of our country, repairs of station buildings will be carried out this year at Krnov, Vyškov na Moravě and Frýdek-Místek.
