On November 13th, Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and SOMAFEL – Engenharia e Obras Ferroviárias, S.A. signed – in consortium with CONDURIL – Engenharia, S.A. – a contract to modernise the section of the Beira Alta Line, between Celorico da Beira and Guarda, for IP – Infraestruturas de Portugal, S.A., for approximately 53 million Euros.
The work on this section of the Beira Alta line is being carried out as part of the “Ferrovia 2020” programme, co-financed by the European Union, to enable the expansion and modernisation of the National Rail Network.
The contract includes work on the complete renewal of the track superstructure on a section of approximately 46 kilometres, raising, widening and extending the platforms at Celorico da Beira, Pinhel, Vila Franca das Naves and Guarda stations, in order to improve the mobility and access conditions for passengers, as well as work to change the layout at these stations, making it possible to operate trains of 750 metres in length and to increase the number of circulations, which optimises operating conditions, as well as building the respective unevenness and re-establishment, for crossing alternatives, ensuring better safety conditions for users.
It should be remembered that, in 2019, Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções and SOMAFEL had also participated in the complete renewal of 14 kilometres of track on the Beira Alta Line, namely in the Guarda-Cerdeira sub-section of the Guarda-Vilar Formoso section.
Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. concluded, in October 2020, the “Contract for the Construction of the Shelter Works in the Angeiras Fishing Zone”, whose tender was launched in 2018 by the Directorate General of Natural Resources, Safety and Maritime Services (DGRM).
The construction of the 488-meter long pier at the Angeiras port was aimed at providing better shelter and safety conditions for boats on approach and departure for fishing.

Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. concluded, last October, the “Repair and Reinforcement Contract of the North Pier of the Port of Viana do Castelo between PK 880 and PK 1150″.
With 2,170 meters in length, the North Pier – for the protection of the Port of Viana do Castelo – is a structure of downloadable slopes, which has a concrete walkway. The contract included the reinforcement of the existing slopes and the repair of the concrete sidewalk in all extensions damaged as a result of the bad weather.
This contract was the first of four interventions planned for the rehabilitation of the mentioned Pier, being of extreme importance, because it mainly ensures the safety issues of this port infrastructure, with growing importance in the economic activity of Portugal and the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
The work, under the responsibility of the Geotechnics and Rehabilitation | Maritime works of Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A., was completed on time and within budget, also contributing to customer satisfaction.
