📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of 450-kilometre Kenitra-Marrakech High-Speed Railway.
Description:
After Kenitra-Tangier, Morocco now wishes to extend its line to Marrakesh, with 450 km of brand-new tracks. This project, an element of the Rail Morocco 2040 plan, constitutes a strategically important link in the continued development of the high-speed network, and will facilitate connections between major cities of the Kingdom, thereby offering high-quality service to rail network passengers. The delivery schedule is spread between 2027 and 2030.
The project is divided up into several packages:
Package 1: Kenitra-Ain Sebaa, 150 km in length
Package 2: Ain Sebaa-Nouaceur with a cumulative length of 130 km
Package 3: Nouaceur- Marrakesh, 212 km in length.
Consequently, in anticipation of the considerable workload arising from the coordination of these designs and their importance for the development of the rail network, ONCF appointed Egis as general consultant. Each of these design packages must take into account the functional challenges specific to their geographical perimeters, but must also result from an approach of total optimisation and consistency with the functional issues of the rest of the network. With more than 430 km of new line planned, coordinating this design work in a relatively short timeframe will be a significant challenge.
Previous Events:
November 2022- French construction and engineering firm Egis has been appointed as general consultant for external control on 450-kilometre Kenitra-Marrakech high-speed railway by Morocco’s national railway operator ONCF.
