RB Rail announced the tender for architectural, landscaping and visual identity design guidelines for Rail Baltica. Proposals shall be submitted electronically by 18 July 2018.
The aim of this competition is to work out the technically and economically most feasible set of criteria, rules, typical solutions, conceptual drawings and guidance for Rail Baltica. Thus, the ALG will enrich the Rail Baltica Design Guidelines from the viewpoint of landscaping, urban design and visual design standpoint. The ALG as part of Design Guidelines will be mandatory for all stakeholders involved in design and construction of the Railway.
“This procurement is an important step towards unified approach for designing Rail Baltica railway elements – bridges, noise barriers, animal passages, passenger stations, embankments, cuts and overpasses,” Mart Nielsen, Chief Technical Officer of RB RAIL said.
The tender will provide a united design guidelines for the whole railway track. The submission deadline for the proposal is July 18, 2018.
The contracting party will have to provide an extensive analysis and quantitative economic assessment to identify the most feasible level of standardization of the solutions. The study will consist of three general stages. The first one involves an analysis of conditions, taking into the account the existing studies and current state of the project, proposal for safety requirements for functionality of the Rail Baltica structure to identify the most feasible possible options to be standardized. The second one envisages the preparation of conceptual guidelines for railway bridge design as well as solutions for noise barrier implementation, animal passages, the visual identity for passenger stations, including functional requirements, embankment, cut and overpass landscaping. Finally, contracting party will have to identify the stakeholders, expectation management and organisation of stakeholder workshops to promote a discussion, inform about possible solutions and present the results obtained.
The competition and preparation of the architectural, landscaping and visual identity design guidelines is co-financed by Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
