Kénitra-Marrakech LGV: Colas Rail Secures a New €29 Million Contract with ONCF
Colas Rail Secures €29 Million Contract from ONCF for Infrastructure in Casablanca Region
The French group Colas Rail has recently secured a contract worth approximately €29 million from the National Office of Railways (ONCF) for several railway infrastructures in the Casablanca region. This new order brings the total amount of contracts awarded to the company for the Kénitra-Marrakech high-speed line project to nearly €279 million.
The construction of the future high-speed line (LGV) Kénitra-Marrakech continues to attract major international players in the railway sector. Colas Rail, a subsidiary of the French Bouygues group, is strengthening its involvement in the project after winning a new contract of about €29 million from ONCF.
Registered in the company’s order book in October 2026, this contract pertains to the section connecting the Roches-Noires station to the Nouaceur technical center in the Casablanca region.
Infrastructure Work on Tracks, Catenaries, and More
The contract encompasses several interventions aimed at adapting and developing the relevant railway infrastructures. Planned works include modifications to existing tracks, the installation of new tracks, the setup of catenary equipment, as well as the execution of necessary civil engineering structures.
This new allocation complements two contracts awarded to Colas Rail in January 2025, amounting to a combined total of €250 million. With this additional contract, the total value of contracts obtained by the company for the Kénitra-Marrakech LGV project now reaches nearly €279 million.
Over 17 Years of Presence in Morocco
This new order continues the partnership between Colas Rail and ONCF. Having operated in Morocco for over 17 years, the company employs nearly 550 staff in the Kingdom and works across twelve specialties related to railway infrastructure.
Hervé Le Joliff, President of Colas Rail, emphasizes the strategic importance of the Moroccan market for the group’s activities. He also reaffirms the company’s commitment to continue collaborating with ONCF in the development of high-speed railway networks.
Through this new contract, Colas Rail consolidates its role in the construction of the future Kénitra-Marrakech link, particularly in the Casablanca sector, where its teams will work on the tracks, electrical installations, and associated railway infrastructures.
