The Gulermak – Somet association has won the tender for the design and execution of the Băneasa – Otopeni Airport section of the M6 Gara de Nord – Otopeni Airport Line. The 1.3 billion RON contract covers the structure for 6 stations.
The contract is funded through a loan taken in 2010 from the Japan Bank and covers the structural works for the last six stations; it is not a turnkey contract like the Cluj-Napoca metro. The design and execution period is 4 years.
Gulermak is a prominent Turkish contractor that has worked on lines in Istanbul and Dubai, while the Romanian firm Somet specializes in metro works and is currently executing the Tudor Arghezi station in Bucharest’s Sector 4.
For the first section, Gara de Nord – Băneasa (Tokyo station), Alsim Arako will begin execution works between May and July.
In total, the M6 Gara de Nord – Otopeni Airport line will span 14 kilometers and feature 12 stations.
