TPF Sp. z o.o. has signed a contract for the preparation of design documentation and the provision of architectural supervision as part of one of the largest railway investments in the history of the Silesian Voivodeship.
Project Objective:
The project involves the modernization and expansion of infrastructure on the Katowice Piotrowice – Tychy section, which is part of a major undertaking covering the line from Będzin to the Czech border.
