Sumgayit-Yalama Railway Reconstruction

IB Group played a significant role in the reconstruction of the Sumgayit-Yalama railway line. This project is a crucial step in enhancing Azerbaijan's transit-logistics potential and developing the North-South International Transport Corridor.

As part of the project, 7,114 tons of rails were delivered to Azerbaijan in 2020, with an additional 8,060 tons supplied in 2024. These rails were used in the construction of the Yalama-Sumgayit railway line. The main construction works were carried out by Turkey's Kolin company, ensuring high quality and adherence to international standards. IB Group participated as a supplier, providing rails and other necessary materials.

During the reconstruction, a new rail-sleeper network was installed over a 200 km section, and 174 km of the railway were opened for initial operation. Additionally, 95 bridges, 225 circular culverts, 13 animal crossings, and 7 overhead pedestrian crossings were constructed. These infrastructure upgrades will bring benefits such as time savings in freight and passenger transportation, reduced operational costs for vehicles and infrastructure, and enhanced safety.

The joint efforts of IB Group and Kolin have facilitated a more extensive and efficient utilization of Azerbaijan's transport-transit potential.
