Kakha Kaladze Announces Extensive Modernization Project for Tbilisi Subway Stations

Tbilisi’s Mayor, Kakha Kaladze, has announced an extensive modernization project for 12 subway stations in the city. The project is scheduled to be implemented from 2023 to 2029, with support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). A consultant has been selected to aid the Tbilisi transport company in procuring the necessary services.

The modernization efforts encompass a range of improvements. At the “Station Square” exit, three escalators will be replaced, and the electric motors of 36 escalators will undergo modernization to enhance energy efficiency. Control panels and electromechanical devices will be upgraded, while the passenger information system will receive an update. The project also focuses on improving physical accessibility by installing inclined elevators at multiple stations. Notably, two elevators will be placed at the junction of “Station Square” to facilitate access between the first and second lines.

The anticipated outcome of these works is a significant enhancement of the metro’s operations, greatly influencing Tbilisi’s transport policy implementation. The project extends beyond the stations themselves, including the rehabilitation of central drainage pumping stations, replacement of fire protection systems, administrative telephone systems, uninterruptible power supply units, and automatic control points. Furthermore, the ventilation system outside the stations, comprising 18 fans and control systems, will be rehabilitated. The United Metro Workshops will undergo complete retooling, and the buildings will be renovated. A revamp of the metro training center is also planned, along with the update of technical tools and equipment.

Mayor Kakha Kaladze expressed gratitude to the international financial organizations involved in the project, particularly highlighting the close collaboration with the EBRD. The EBRD has allocated 50.6 million euros as a loan and an additional 5 million euros as a grant for the project. The preliminary technical-economic study of the metro stations has been prepared by the international consulting company EGIS, further contributing to the project’s progress.
