Transforming the Thai railway network into a double track system

The current railway network of Thailand comprises 4,044 km of single line track and 143 km and 107 km of double track and triple track, respectively. The current network is quickly reaching its maximum capacity and due to the growing demand, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has decided to add additional tracks to the network.

The Phase I study included the following works:

• Doubling of 400 km rail track
• Upgrade of 80 stations
• Upgrade for signaling and telecommunication
