Trafikverket has awarded two new rail maintenance contracts in Stockholm to Strukton Rail. The first contract concerns the maintenance of the newly constructed Stockholm Citybanan. The second contract concerns the railway through central Stockholm. Both contracts include preventive and corrective maintenance of the tracks, electrical systems and signalling technology, and round-the-clock fault clearing services.
The Citybanan is a completely new six-kilometre long commuter line with double track, running through tunnels under Stockholm’s city centre. The line will be opened for passengers in 2017. Strukton Rail has built this new city line and, having won the maintenance contract, will also be responsible for railway maintenance once the path opens to traffic. The contract will be valid for five years from 1 September 2016, starting well before the City Line opens the station doors to the public.
