Keller Group has been awarded a contract for a part in construction of the Koralm railway line between Graz and Klagenfurt in southern Austria.

“I am delighted to announce another major project for Keller in connection with an important infrastructure investment,” says Justin Atkinson, chief executive of Keller. “This contract win, which involves a number of different products and requires significant specialist skills, is a testament to the technical excellence of Keller’s market leading business in Austria.”

Keller will be responsible for soil preparation works above and beneath ground for the construction of a major tunnel project on the Austria railway line. Work will include jet grouting, bored piling and anchor works.

The project, slated to start in the second quarter of 2015, is expected to take about two years to complete. The contract is valued at more than $3.5 million.
