Hill International (NYSE:HIL), delivering the infrastructure
of change, announced today it was awarded a contract by Kosovo
Railways JSC (INFRAKOS) to provide supervision services for Phase 2
of the rehabilitation and upgrade of Rail Route 10.
Rail Route 10 connects Kosovo’s railway network
with the regional and pan-European network and was last overhauled
40 years ago. Phase 1 of the Route 10 project, which Hill also
supports, involves a span connecting Fushë Kosovë, just outside of
Pristina in central Kosovo, with North Macedonia. Phase 2 involves
rehabilitating and upgrading a 34.4 km segment of the route from
Fushë Kosovë north to Mitrovicë. These efforts aim to secure the
long-term future of the line while increasing traffic safety and
enabling a higher operating speed. Work at Fushë Kosovë station
includes passenger facilities, a freight station, maintenance
workshops, and a locomotive depot.
As part of an international consortium, Hill
will provide construction management technical and financial
supervision of the works for the project in accordance with the
FIDIC Conditions of Contract and relevant national legislation.
“We are happy to continue our mission to support
sustainable development in Kosovo,” says Hill Vice President and
Managing Director for the Balkans Panagiotis Methenitis. “With
Phase 2 of Rail Route 10, our teams in Kosovo are currently
supervising more than 100 km of railway rehabilitation in the
country. Once executed, these rail projects will improve the lives
of hundreds of thousands of Kosovars.”
Raouf Ghali, Hill’s Chief Executive Officer,
adds: “Hill has been supporting INFRAKOS on Phase 1 of the Rail
Route 10 project since 2019. With this win, our local team in
Kosovo demonstrates that Hill’s best sales pitch is our services.
Their great work has expanded our presence in Kosovo and reinforced
Hill’s reputation throughout the Balkans and Europe.”
