project in construction

The project involves the design, development, construction, commissioning, financing, operation and maintenance of the infrastructure, rolling stock and services for a new light rail transit (LRT) system in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, located in the south-east of the country.  The Almaty LRT will consist of 37 stations along a 22.7 km double track operating over one of the city’s principal avenues. It is expected to carry between 76,000 and 112,000 passengers a day, with trains arriving every four minutes during peak hours on weekdays. The average commercial speed is to be 22km/h. This project will be the first major public-private partnership (PPP) transaction in urban transport to be launched in Kazakhstan. The private partner will also be responsible for the detailed design and construction of a depot, which is to include workshops, operation control facilities and offices.
