The project involves a 3 km section of the continuous three-track upgrade of the 2270 (ABS) 46/2 line (Amsterdam) German–Dutch border – Emmerich–Oberhausen
In the inner-city area of Oberhausen, the track alignment is being widened during track closure periods, involving approximately 100,000 m³ of earthworks, 5,000 m of track and 8 sets of points, as well as 2,500 m of bored piles and 7,000 m of vibro-compacted columns. In addition to the associated civil engineering, waste disposal, drainage and underground cabling works, construction work is being carried out on 9 engineering structures and overhead line works along a 3,000 m stretch involving 140 new masts.
The project is divided into the following main works:
- Earthworks
- Drainage DN 150–400
- Underground cabling
- Track construction
- Engineering structures
- Specialised civil engineering
- Overhead line
- Detailed design of transport and overhead line systems
