The project vehicle Galleria di Base del Brennero (BBT SE) has entrusted the contractors' consortium "ISIE - Italferr S.p.A. (head company) - SWS engineering SpA - ILF Consulting Engineers Austria GmbH" with the engineering design services for the railway equipment in the base tunnel.
The contract, worth EUR 26,645,550, was signed on May 23rd 2024.
The engineering services include the updating of the final design of the railway systems for the Brenner Base Tunnel and supporting BBT SE during the subsequent procurement phases.
The award decision was the subject of an appeal to the Administrative Court of Bolzano
Based on the analysis carried out by the tender commission, the most economically and technically advantageous tender for engineering design services for railway equipment had been submitted by the 'ISIE' consortium.
The results of the tender commission's work were confirmed by the Administrative Court of Bolzano which ruled in favour of BBT SE on the appeal which had been filed by another bidder. The contract has now been signed between BBT SE and 'ISIE'.
Railway outfitting is the final phase of the BBT project
After the completion of the main tunnels and their inner linings, railway outfitting will be the final phase of the Brenner Base Tunnel project before the infrastructure becomes operational.
