Railway Line No. 8: Warka

Swietelsky Rail Polska played a significant role in the modernisation of Railway Line No. 8 on the Warka–Radom section as one of the key members of the consortium delivering the project together with Track Tec, Infrakol, Leonhard Weiss and Intop Warszawa. The contract was carried out under a design-and-build formula as part of a major investment involving the comprehensive upgrade of one of the most important rail links connecting Warsaw and Radom.

The scope of works included the preparation of construction and detailed design documentation, followed by the execution of works on the section from km 58.100 to 100.850. One of the key elements of the project was the construction of a second track along the entire section, eliminating a single-track bottleneck and significantly increasing the line’s capacity. The contract also included a comprehensive renewal of the track structure and reinforcement of the subgrade, allowing trains to operate at speeds of up to 160 km/h.

The works also covered the reconstruction of existing stations and passenger stops, including the modernisation of platforms and their adaptation to the needs of persons with reduced mobility. Another important part of the project was the reconstruction of engineering structures, including the bridge over the Pilica River and numerous viaducts, as well as the replacement of the overhead contact line together with its supporting structures. During the works, Swietelsky Rail Polska used specialist track construction equipment, which is one of the company’s core areas of expertise on the Polish market.

The modernisation of Railway Line No. 8 on the Warka–Radom section was completed and commissioned in 2023. The investment significantly improved the route’s operational parameters, enhanced safety and passenger comfort, and reduced the travel time from Radom to Warszawa Zachodnia to approximately 54 minutes. The project played a key role in improving rail traffic efficiency on one of the region’s main transport corridors.
