Dywidag JV wins Algeria metro job

摘要

A joint venture led by Dywidag International has been awarded a contract to extend partly underground Line 1 of the metro in the Algerian capital, Algiers.The contract calls for 4km of new route, more than half of which will be underground. Work has already commenced on site for the project though clearance for the approximately 32-month project is anticipated by September.Construction of the 2.7km long single bore tunnel for the metro line is to be executed by the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), said Dywidag's parent group, Strabag. Four box stations are to be built by cut and cover for the project.
