Colas has secured a new railway contract in Morocco

Colas Rail has been awarded a new contract worth approximately 29 million euros* by the National Railways Office (ONCF) as part of the Kenitra–Marrakesh high-speed rail project. This contract covers track, catenary and civil engineering works in the Casablanca area, between Roches-Noires station and the Nouaceur Technicentre. 

In particular, this contract will include railway rehabilitation and the construction of new rail tracks, installation of catenary systems and related civil engineering works. 

"Morocco is a strategic market for Colas Rail. This new contract with the ONCF is part of a long-term partnership and reaffirms our commitment to supporting the development of high-speed rail in the Kingdom", says Hervé Le Joliff, Executive Vice President, Railways. 

Colas Rail, which has been operating in Morocco for more than 17 years, now employs around 550 staff covering twelve complementary business areas. The teams have carried out more than 40 projects across the Kingdom and taken part in several major modernization programs on the Moroccan rail network, particularly those relating to the high-speed line.

Colas Rail is already involved in the construction of the Kenitra–Marrakesh high-speed railway under two contracts secured in January 2025 for a total of 250 million euros, and is now strengthening its involvement in this major project. This contract reinforces Colas Rail’s operations in Morocco and bears witness to the ONCF’s continued confidence in the company.
