Settat - Marrakech line

In 2016, Colas Rail Morocco was awarded the two contracts to double the track and overhaul the stations on the Settat-Marrakesh line for the National Railways Office (ONCF).

The first track doubling contract involves the construction of double track on 170 km of line between Settat and Marrakesh, to be delivered in November 2018.

The second contract includes the refurbishment of 11 stations on the line. Colas Rail Morocco is managing all the activities under the contract: civil engineering, earth-moving, track works, lighting, fencing, catenaries and signals. Colas Rail Morocco will be working on the tracks and catenaries at two additional stations.

The project will increase the availability of rail transport between the Casablanca and Marrakesh for the purposes of alleviating traffic.

Colas Rail is proud to have been chosen by ONCF to work on these ambitious rail network modernisation projects. Moroccan railway excellence is on the move.
