Tehran – Italferr, engineering company of Italian FS Group with significant presence in the international markets, has signed a contract worth a total of around 12 million Euros with the Iranian railway institutions for the services of Project Management Consultancy (PMC), aimed at construction of the first high speed line in the country, the Tehran – Qom – Isfahan. Italferr realizes with this contract its best performance in the country and consolidates its growth in the Middle East. The engineering company will be responsible for overseeing the activities related to the realization of fundamental infrastructural work for the development plans of the country. The new high speed line will have a length of 415 km with an expected speed of at least 250 km / h. This contract for Italferr strengthens the relationship of trust and collaboration between the Italian FS Group and the Iranian railway institutions. In this regard it is expected shortly to open a “branch” on site that will follow closely further investment projects that the Islamic Republic of Iran will devote to infrastructure projects in the railway sector.
