The open electronic tender of Hellenic Railways S.A. (OSE) has been published for the supply, installation and commissioning of 100 new SIL4 Automatic Level Crossing Systems (ALCS) at critical sections of the Greek railway network.

The project includes the dismantling of existing old systems, the supply and installation of new automatic level crossing systems, and the provision of full maintenance and fault-clearance services until expiry of the contract. It also provides for the integration, adaptation and interfacing of the new systems with the ETCS system, together with the necessary testing, certification and commissioning procedures.

The works concern the Thessaloniki – Idomeni, Thessaloniki – Alexandroupoli, Thessaloniki – Florina, Strymonas – Promachonas, Piraeus – Platy and Alexandroupoli – Ormenio lines.

Level crossings are critical points of contact between the railway and the daily life of citizens. By replacing old systems, installing modern SIL4 equipment, interfacing with ETCS and providing for full maintenance and fault clearance, we are taking a further targeted step towards a safer, more reliable and more modern railway."
