    ProRail has awarded the contract for the construction of the new Eindhoven
    station tunnel to Heijmans. The contract is valued at over EUR 32 million. Work
    planning will start immediately, construction will start in the 1st quarter of
    2013 and the entire project will be completed by the summer of 2016.

    A European tendering process was completed for this contract in which Heijmans
    submitted the economically most advantageous tender. The project is
    characterised by Heijmans´ integral approach, whereby the work will be carried
    out by the Heijmans Civil Engineering and the Heijmans Non-residential Building
    business units. The construction of rail-related and building-related technical
    installations also forms part of the contract. The station will continue to
    operate normally during construction.

    New Tunnel
    The Eindhoven railway station will be renovated because the current station was
    not designed to accommodate future traveller volumes. In addition to the current
    8-metre wide tunnel, an additional new 35-metre wide tunnel will therefore be
    constructed. The tunnel will also form an important pedestrian link between the
    northern and southern sections of the city. Projections call for 115,000
    passers-by to make use of the tunnel each day by 2020.

    Excellent Facilities
    A key component of the renovation is the improved access to the station for
    disabled persons. The new underground passage will be equipped with lifts and
    escalators to all platforms so that people with impaired mobility, for example,
    can independently travel by train. In addition, space has been reserved in the
    passage for high-quality shops and catering facilities.

    The widening of the station tunnel is a partnership between ProRail, NS Stations
    and the Municipality of Eindhoven with co-financing from the central government
    and the Province of Noord-Brabant. Rail infrastructure manager ProRail, together
    with Heijmans, is responsible for the execution.
