The main types of engineering activities executed by IGA – Railway Infrastructure DZZD, Varna, according to Contract 3702 included:
- Design of construction: preparation, coordination and approval of a Design with contents in accordance with Regulation 4 of MoRDPW, for the Stages: Technical Design and Detailed Design for: Modernisation of the main electrified double railway line designed for a design speed of 160 km/h, and overhead line designed for 200 km/h. (with a tolerance of +10% on these values), subject to the relevant national and European technical regulations, incl. the Technical Specifications for Interoperability.
Construction works on the railway track, platforms, water drainage: a design solution for the railway track between the stations Pazardzhik-Ognyanovo and Ognyanovo-Stamboliyski has been implemented to provide a minimum distance of 4.40 m between the track centerlines of Track №1 and Track № 2 for a design speed of 160 km/h, as required by Regulation 55. The railway track has UIC 60E1 rails on reinforced concrete sleepers with elastic fastenings. The railway track length:
a./ between the stations: Pazardzhik-Ognyanovo on Track № 1 is 7572 m, and on Track № 2 is 7654 m;
b./ between the stations: Ognyanovo-Stamboliyski  on Track № 1 is 8675 m, and on Track № 2 is 8669 m;
c./ Ognyanovo Station: along Track № 1 (PO-track 2) - 1100 m, and along Track № 2 (PO-track 3) is 1104 m. The existing arrangement at the station's two throats has been replaced by two S-links. The new useful lengths of the tracks are as follows: - new PO-track 1 – 594 m; new PO- track 2 – 682 m; new PO-track 3 – 682 m; new PO-track 4 – 609 m. New protective dead-end railway tracks have been constructed at km 127+700 – from the Railway Switch № 16 on the forth track, and at km 128+339 – from Railway Switch № 15 on the forth track. A partial reconstruction (95 m) of the manoeuvring track at km 127+684 has been completed within the station area, from Railway Switch № 14 on the first track, where the useful length has been increased by 30 m, and another 80 m on the loading track at km 128+384 - from Railway Switch № 13 on the first track, effectively increasing the useful length by 25 m. 60E1 rails on reinforced concrete sleepers with elastic fastenings have been used for the railway track along the main tracks and railway switches, while the rails used for the other tracks are second hand 49E1 rails. All the existing interim platforms were demolished and new platforms were built as follows: Platform 1 (front) – 130 m long, where the height of the top edge of the platform measured from the railhead is 0.25 m along a 100 m section of the platform, and the height of the top edge of the platform measured from the railhead is 0.55 m along the remaining 30 m of the platform; Platform 2 – 7.10 m wide and 200 m long, where the height of the top edge of the platform measured from the railhead is 0.55 m; Platform 3 – 5.5 m wide in the area of the pedestrian underpass, and 3.00 m wide along the rest of the platform, and 200 m long, where the height of the top edge of the platform measured from the railhead is 0.55 m. Platform canopies on a steel structure have been constructed on the second and third passenger platforms. Passenger access to the platforms is provided through a new pedestrian overpass linking Platforms 2 and 3 at km 127+940, with lifts installed at each entrance and exit point of the overpass. A pedestrian ramp for access of persons with reduced mobility has been constructed between Platform 1 and Platform 2.

The concrete poles have been laid in concrete foundations. The steel lattice poles have been mounted on concrete foundations using anchor bolts. A total of 760 poles - concrete and steel lattice ones – have been erected. The overhead line is suspended from cantilever arms or rigid cross members (at the stations). The structure of the rigid cross members includes two vertical columns supporting a crossbeam suspended on a cable. The overhead line (catenary) is of a chain type with a CuAg 0.1 contact wire with a cross section of 120 mm2 at the open track sections, and a CuAg 0.1 contact wire with a cross section of 120 mm2 in the area of the stations – for the main tracks and S-links, and a CuMg 0.2 contact wire with a cross section of 100 mm2 for the secondary tracks. The system height at the suspension points is 1.45m. The height of the contact wire is 5.50 m from the railhead level. The carrying cable is Bz II (Cu Mg 0.4) with a cross section of 70 mm2 (19 x 2.1 mm) between the stations, and a bronze carrying cable BzII (CuMg 0.4) with a cross section of 70 mm2 for the main tracks and BzII (CuMg 0.4) - 50 mm2 for the secondary tracks in the area of the stations. The system between the stations is made of a bare bronze flexible conductor BzII - 10 with a cross section of 10 mm2. In the area of the stations, the contact wire is suspended on a carrying cable at the poles with a string made of a bronze cable Bz II 25 mm2 and smaller 10 mm2 strings. The terminals for the string are made of the material CuNiSi - "KRUCH" model. The strings are made of a bronze cable Bz II 7x6.3mm with a cross section of 25 mm2. The cantilever arms are insulated by polymeric insulators. The compensating devices are of the KSS monoblock type with a latch. The cables used for the compensating device are flexible stainless steel strands. The opposite conductor is aluminium stranded 184-All/30 (32) -St IA. The anchoring of the back feeder is rigid - on the poles of the middle anchors of the overhead line. The poles are grounded. A single-strand steel, galvanized wire with a diameter of 20 mm is used for the anchor pull-offs of the reinforced concrete anchor poles, a stranded flexible copper conductor with cross section of 190 mm2 (2 x 95 mm2) for the lengthwise electrical connectors and connections between section disconnectors and catenary, a single-strand steel, galvanized wire with a polymer coating - for the pole-rail grounding connections, electric connectors between rails or between tracks, a stainless steel cable 1.4401-ANSI 316 DIN 3060 7x19, 1570 Nmm2, d = 12.0mm – for pull-offs for the rigid cross members, terminals for the strings, power connectors, anchoring and connecting terminals, carrying terminals, tensioning devices for the contact wire, electrical connectors, insulators and section insulators, motor-driven sectional disconnectors, actuators for the disconnectors, surge protection, and protection against bird nesting. All the poles are numbered and bear the relevant signage.
The new overhead line between Pazardzhik and Ognyanovo stations for each of the two tracks comprises 7 tensioning areas with a length of less than 1400 m, and the total length of the catenary is 17 399 m.
The new overhead line between Ognyanovo and Stamboliyski  stations for each of the two tracks comprises 8 tensioning areas with a length of less than 1400 m, and the total length of the catenary is 20 042 m.
The neutral insertion on Track № 1 and Track № 2 at km 121+000 is "a short one", made with the use of Galland section insulators. The disconnectors are 6 with a motor actuation. The feeders are All 240 mm2. Surge arresters have been installed. Both local and remote control of the disconnectors is available.
The electrical panel board for the remote control of the disconnectors is used for local control of the disconnectors by the railway stations, with or without parallel connection. The panel board provides for remote control by a railway energy dispatcher. The electric power supplied to the disconnectors includes both main power supply and and redundant power supply for the disconnectors of the overhead line.
