📋 Tender Overview
We have completed the biggest technical renovation of the last period at Keleti Railway Station where our colleagues worked around the clock and weekends from August 25th.
From Sunday the usual life will return to the hall and platforms of the Historical Main building: instead of machines passenger trains will once again take possession of the infrastructure which can re -enter the East not just to the temporary ends and the transfer points.
This gradually ends the nearly 1 month temporary traffic regime in the countrys busiest large standing area but rework will continue to be continuously until the December schedule. Speed restrictions will only be completely eliminated and will be able to travel at the main railway network at a speed of 40 60 and 80 km/h respectively.
During the large -scale technical renovation we repaired shifts overhead lines safety equipment and replaced rails soles and concrete. The goal was to launch and receive trains on the Gyor Hatvan-Miskolc Pecs and Ujszaszi-Bekescsaba lines in the East.
The temporary traffic system which was established by the end of the main station worked effectively and provided commuting daily without significant disruption which of course could not have happened without the cooperation and understanding of our passengers.
We thank all of them for their support and our staff for their tense and professional work which has resulted in more than planned renovations over the last month.
During MAVs own resources about 4.4 billion HUF investment with the help of 400-450 professionals and the installation work done by many machines railway and road vehicles the operating safety of the equipment can be provided for years at Keleti Railway Station.
During the first days of opening the renovated maintained track and safety equipment including transitions despite the regulations and checks is not yet properly implemented so restrictions may occur on each track. Therefore during the fine tuning professionals are constantly ready to repair the equipment as quickly as possible.
During the one -month maintenance we replaced 4 kilometers of so -called. Instead of the planned 2300 2560 subtitles (detour) instead of the planned 2300. About 50 gearboxes (detour) were maintained and more than planned almost 150 gearboxes were checked. At nearly 2800 meters we replaced the bed and sieve. We replaced the age wires on the overhead line at 15600 meters. We regulated 14 kilometers of track between Keleti Railway Station and Kobanya Upper and Ferencvaros as well as on the main tracks in the East. All of these were tasks that could only be efficient and concentrated only with the complete interruption of train traffic when the train station infrastructure is freely accessible.
Not only on the tracks used by the trains of passengers but also on the behind the scenes on the storage at the operating station and in the vehicle repair bases we have done significant work to make the train station faster and more secure after the renovation.
We rebuilt the 1-2. track platform where during the autumn so -called. We also create a tactile bar. (This is the creation of a perceptible surface on the floor level that helps to inform our visually impaired passengers and visitors.) Other plants have been maintained by passenger information equipment painted benches and trash replaced hours repaired the lighting system and the lighting system.
Planned work for autumn
Nor does the work stop in the fall By this time however only the eastern renovation will continue with work and maintenance work and maintenance that do not require a launch of a track. Thus we will maintain more than 110 gearboxes including 20-30 gearboxes to replace parts rails and sleepers but while maintaining passenger traffic.
Thanks to the work on the railway track the speed enabled by technology following the change of timetable will be raised to 40 km/h on the main tracks at 80 km/h in the related introductory sections and a large part of the siders. Due to the interventions the re -introduction of speed restrictions will be prevented the accuracy of train traffic will increase and the likelihood of technical malfunctions will be reduced. (Speed restrictions today cause an average of one and a half minutes of delays.) In addition the time of reversing and carrier operations is shortened so the capacity of the train station will increase and the crumbling will be reduced.
Slab
In parallel with the complete exclusion work of the Keleti Railway Station the workspace of the passenger center was limited at the platform level the necessary on-site tests were completed and the preparatory work began. The MAV Group has previously investigated the cause of the glass ceiling. According to the completed forensic expert opinion it became clear that the crack is due to a construction error which is due to the fact that the thickness and material of the layers were not properly selected by the contractor. The production time of the glass slab fields to be replaced is several months and the work is expected to be completed by the beginning of next year.
