📋 Tender Overview
It has been four years since the start of the Railway Station and the construction of related infrastructure at RIX Riga Airport, and a significant amount of work has been completed: the construction of the reinforced concrete structures of the railway station building, the construction of the passenger platform and the internal viaduct section, as well as the construction of 45 track viaducts. In the fourth year of construction, the largest phase of work took place in terms of volume, concluding the first stages of building the railway station building. The building is currently reaching a height of 19.5 meters (the planned total height of 24.8 meters), becoming a visible object for all airport visitors. The construction of the track viaduct supports continues intensively. A total of 45 viaduct supports, or 85 % of the total order, have already been built. At the end of June, connecting viaduct supports with each other with 3 meters high steel beams was started, rising 13 meters above the ground in the airport area. The beams are made of atmospheric steel, which is an innovative material with high resistance to corrosion and the effects of the weather. A special alloy is used with a natural oxide layer or patina over time. Although visually it can resemble corrosion, or rust, Patina actually serves as a protective layer that not only does not damage the material, but protects it from the environmental influence. The railway viaduct is being built particularly durable at the station section to ensure a safe movement of trains up to 120 km/h. Active construction works also take place in the closed area of Riga Airport, while ensuring continuous operation of the airport. In order to provide a railway space, it takes place for engineering communications networks, airport gas station and boiler house rebuilding, as well as dismantling the existing building. In addition, a new modern P5 parking lot was completed in the fourth year between the office street and the road to Riga with more than 850 seats to the airport. In total, a significant amount of work has been completed in four years - 110,445 m2, communication networks 56 km, as well as 48,105 m3 of concrete and more than 7,500 tons of reinforcement. About 30,000 cubic meters of concrete and 6500 tons of reinforcement were used in the construction of the station building. The construction area has expanded significantly from the initial 4315 m2 to 68,600 m2 in June this year since 2021. The further stage of the track viaduct steel is planned for the assembly of approximately 10 000 tons, the construction of the 2.4 km railway embankment, as well as the 115 -meter -long transmission over Karlis Ulmanis gatvi. Already, the construction of the track is stretching 1.5 km as the next major project development step approaches. The general partnership is the implementer of the project railway station and the construction of related infrastructure at Riga Airport. The Association of Persons is made up of Austrian company and Latvian construction companies: Road construction company Ltd. and AS - one of the largest construction companies in Latvia specializing in the construction of multifunctional objects on project construction is based on the winner of the open international competition - the project of three countries (, Italy, Slovakia, and, Latvia). Construction supervision is carried out by an association of persons consisting of SIA (Latvia) and. (Spain). Project funding is provided by the European Union infrastructure combination instrument and the funds of the Latvian state budget. The recipient of the EU and the project is implemented by the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Latvia.
