Czech rail network manager SZDC completed the reconstruction of the traction substation at Nymburk and the construction of a switching station at Poříčany. The necessity of this construction’s implementation was based primarily on growing requirements for railway lines’ power feeding.
The project’s objective was a reconstruction of the substation’s technological and construction part and low and high voltage distribution in the precinct including its connection to the catenary. For needs of long-distance supervision and control from the electrical control centre in Prague, newest up-to-date technology has been installed and connected to transmission paths and signalling equipment.
The construction also included building a switching station at Poříčany to achieve an improvement in operating traction power feeding and increasing transportation capacity of Czech Rail Transit Corridor I. The switching station was built with connected high and low voltage distribution and a connection to the catenary and signalling transmission paths.
Phase No I of this project has been financed by the European Union from its Cohesion Fund under the Operation Programme Transport 2007–2013. The total estimated costs of the project is CZK 356 million (EUR 13.1 million).
