The purpose of introducing high-speed trains is to shorten travel times and speed up passenger transport. The time saving for passengers on the Swedish Transport Administration's line is gradually achieved over 25 years, while our line reaches the goal of shorter journey times already after 5 years. This provides a very large social economic saving over the following 20 years.

The costs of building a railway include everything from buying land and carrying out ground work to manufacturing and assembling modules. By having the steel modules manufactured industrially and assembled on site, the cost of manufacturing is minimized. Likewise, we avoid road freight of large quantities of aggregate compared to an embankment construction. The earthwork for a foundation for a pillar is significantly less than building a stable embankment - and it is easier to adjust pillars during future subsidence in the ground.

Fast passenger transport between towns requires the stations to be centrally located in the cities. Otherwise, the traveler must change means of transport at least once more at the start and finish, which significantly extends the travel time. It is possible to keep current stations, if you let the new tracks rest on pillars, which means big savings.

The actual costs for alternative ways of building the traffic lane require detailed knowledge of, among other things, a. the layout of the track and the nature of the ground. The Swedish Transport Administration is tasked with making cost comparisons. Below we report overview costs per kilometer of railway track from various consultant reports.

If you choose to include our InfraMag addition during the construction of the track, it will of course affect the investments, as can be seen from the summary. But that investment quickly pays off as trains run on the new main line with InfraMag have significantly lower operating costs, allowing higher speeds. The maintenance is only fractions of a normal maintenance. Gives an overall superior financial result.

A steel bridge weighs one tenth of a concrete bridge, and therefore places much less demand on transport and lifting.
