Working on the first Porto to Lisbon high-speed section? Tell us your crew size, dates and plant needs and we will source long-stay housing across Aveiro, Albergaria-a-Velha and Oliveira do Bairro.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Aveiro on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
Infraestruturas de Portugal is building the first section of the Porto to Lisbon high-speed line, 71 km from Porto Campanhã to Oiã, plus an 8.3 km link to the existing line at Canelas. The concession is worth about €2bn, with €875m from the European Investment Bank and €480m from the EU Connecting Europe Facility. The route includes 8 km of tunnels and 19 km of bridges and viaducts, designed for 300 km/h, and the main worksite is in Aveiro.
Works officially started on 12 October 2026, after an urgent public utility declaration covering 1,076 land parcels in Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro and Albergaria-a-Velha. The first phase is due in 2030 and the second in 2032, when Porto to Lisbon is targeted at 1 hour 15 minutes. Tunnel, viaduct and earthworks crews base in Aveiro, Albergaria-a-Velha and Oliveira do Bairro.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work on the Porto to Oiã section, matched to the Aveiro worksite rather than a generic Porto search.
We assess practical locations across Aveiro, Albergaria-a-Velha and Oliveira do Bairro based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
