Urbagec/Separator Secures Major Contract for LGV Station at Casablanca Airport
The National Office of Railways (ONCF) has awarded the construction contract for the new train station at Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport to the consortium of Urbagec and Separator SA, with the total project cost reaching approximately 395 million Moroccan dirhams (MDH). This significant infrastructure development is part of a larger initiative aimed at enhancing the railway network in Morocco, particularly for high-speed train services.
The project in question pertains specifically to lot 4, which involves the construction of the airport's railway station. The initial cost estimate for the project was set at 380 million dirhams, excluding taxes. Among the five contenders vying for the contract were notable firms such as SGTM, Sogea Maroc, and Construction Management Services. Ultimately, the proposal submitted by the Urbagec/Separator consortium was selected as the most cost-effective option, earning them the contract.
This contract highlights the ongoing efforts to improve transport infrastructure in Morocco, especially as the country prepares to enhance its connectivity with high-speed rail services. Notably, Sogea Maroc had previously secured lot 2 of this tender, which pertains to the establishment of the Casa Sud station, with a contract value of nearly 945 MDH. The developments in this sector are indicative of Morocco's commitment to modernizing its transport facilities and enhancing passenger experiences.
