Chinese construction and engineering giant Gezhouba Group has won a major civil engineering contract for Morocco’s high-speed rail line (LGV) between Kenitra and Marrakech.
The USD 225 mln contract, which is the 9th package, includes building viaducts across several rivers, including Ikkem, Cherrat, Nfifikh, Dir, and Maleh (both north and south), according to the local media reports.
Morocco’s National Railway Office (ONCF) has split the contract to build the 430-kilometre (km) high-speed railway from Western Marrakesh city to Kneitra in the Northwest through Casablanca into 10 packages.
Gezhouba is now the fifth Chinese company to be awarded a contract for this project after CRCC 20, China Railway No.04 Engineering, Shandong Hi-Speed Engineering-Construction, and Covec.
