The California High-Speed Rail Authority’s Board of Directors has awarded a contract to the joint venture SYSTRA | TYPSA to design the track and overhead electrical systems for the initial 171-mile passenger service route between Merced and Bakersfield.
This contract, valued at up to 131.2 million USD, involves producing high-level designs for the track and overhead contact systems (OCS) for the entire 171-mile stretch. This will include detailed designs for the 119 miles currently under active construction in the Central Valley.
The design will encompass track structure, OCS, along-track cable containment, across-track ducts, access walkways, fencing and drainage.
SYSTRA | TYPSA will also manage technical and non-technical interfaces with other contractors and consultants, ensuring seamless integration and progress.
“Getting track and systems design under contract is an important milestone in moving to bring high-speed rail service to California. This approval gets us closer to electrified passenger rail service and putting this transformative project into operations as soon as possible.”
