RB Rail As, the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications and Egis Rail signed a EUR 170,984 contract for the preparation of the feasibility and technical framework study for the light rail (or tram) connection from Rail Baltica Ülemiste passenger terminal to the Tallinn passenger port (Vanasadam).
Egis will have to conduct a feasibility and technical framework study to investigate at least three options for the passenger connection between Tallinn passenger port (Vanasadam) and Rail Baltica Railway Station Ülemiste in Tallinn from a technical and economic standpoint, to implement a Cost-Benefit Analysis and propose the optimal solution in a sketch route layout to be provided as input data for the design preparation.
“Signing the contract with Egis Rail is an important step forward in planning more convenient transport connections between the RB Ülemiste passenger terminal and the Tallinn passenger port. This study will introduce the most feasible tram alignment between those two transport hubs in Tallinn and will be the basis for next design stages,” said Aivar Jaeski, Country Manager – Estonia and Finland, Head of RB RAIL Branch.
The final report of the feasibility and technical framework study should be ready this autumn.
In total, four applicants submitted their proposals to participate in the tender – Egis Rail, K-Projekt, Ardanuy Ingenieria, and IDOM Consulting together with Engineering Architecture S.A.U. and Sweco Projekt.
