Feasibility
study for a Central Albanian road connecting the business region of Tirana-Durres
and the frontier region near the Greek border
With
this survey, the Albanian Ministry for Transport and Telecommunication
pursues two goals: On the one hand, it verifies a fast, safe and efficient
road connection to the business region of Saloniki (Greece) in view of
the future EU membership. On the other hand, previously undersupplied
regions in Central South Albania with towns like Elbasan, Berat and Kucova
are supposed to be connected to the business region of Tirana and the
most important Albanian Port in Durres.
Pöyry Infra works on the survey in three corridors of 125 km in length
each on behalf of the General Roads Directorate in Tirana (Albania).

Overall
design of the new rail line "Siatista - Kozani", Greece
Pöyry
Infra GmbH has been awarded a contract to undertake the alignment design

Network. This project will be executed in co-operation with two Greek
consultants, Salfo & Associates and S. Liaros - Helida Engineering Consultants.
The contract comprises consultancy engineering services for reviewing
and updating the existing feasibility study of the Hellenic Railways Organisation
for the Siatista-Kozani segment. In order to optimise the technical characteristics
of the line, the contract includes the designs of all the necessary civil
works and the rehabilitation of the road network. The main structures
are two tunnels of approx. 1300 m and 650 m.
Services
provided:
- Preliminary and final design for the railway alignment and the railway
stations
- Preliminary and final structural designs
- Topographical surveys and expropriation maps
- Environmental Impact Assessment and assistance in obtaining all the

New
building of the electronic interlocking technology of the right Rhine
line section, Germany
The
line section on the right side of the river Rhine, between Troisdorf and
Wiesbaden, is considered the most important North-South axis of the western
federal territory. It connects the metropolitan area Rhine/Ruhr with the
Greater Rhine/Main.
The project´s subject is the new building of the electronic interlocking
technology of this section including all cohesive works, such like the
building of cable lines as well as track- and road crossings, the installation
of cable chutes, concrete piles and other special constructions. In addition
installation works for control- and safety technology are carried out
in the entire section.
The first building stage comprises the section Lorch - Oberlahnstein up
to Wiesbaden - East - Niederlahnstein with total length of more than 42
km.
The
following services are provided by Pöyry Infra in cooperation with
BPB - Verkehrswesen GmbH:
- Site supervision for cable underground works/control- and safety technology
- Operative cooperation in the overall coordination
- Cooperation in contract management as well as in supplementary works
- Quality assurance

Superstructure
investment program 2006
The
superstructure program comprises new replacement constructions of selected
railway operation facilities of DB AG infrastructure entities to improve
the performance capabilities of the rail network. Numerous individual
measures are integrated into the running railway operation. This mainly
concerns the renewal of switches and tracks employing different procedures
for track construction.
-
Local construction supervision for the areas of superstructure and civil
engineering
- Co-ordination of operational and operational safety measures
- Contract and supplement management
- Invoice verification
- Quality management

Reconstruction
of the nodal point "Frankfurt/Main-Sports field"
In
line with the planned construction of the nodal point "Frankfurt/Main
- Sports field, 1. stage of extension / 1. construction stage" the changeover
of signal installations to electronic interlocking technology is carried
out. For this change extensive underground cable engineering works as
well as gentries are necessary. This project underlies the official railway
interoperability regulation (Eisenbahn-Interoperabilitätsverordnung -
EIV) and has to comply with the committee's decision concerning the technical
specification of the interoperability of the sub-system "infrastructure"
of the trans-European high speed system. This decision was published on
September 12, 2002 in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Pöyry Infra provides in this regard site supervision services for the
roadway as well as for control- and safety technology.

City
of Burg, Germany: new building of a power plant/paper machine in the industrial
area - legal immission control procedure
Burg´s
industrial area ought to be extended by a spate of infrastructural facilities.
Here the new building of a power plant, a paper machine and a waste water
treatment plant takes centre stage. With an investment volume of approx.
650 million Euros this project is among the biggest operational investments
of the federal state Saxony-Anhalt in the next years.
Pöyry Infra supports the competent authority in the legal immission control
procedure (BImSchG - immissionsschutzrechlichen Genehmigungsverfahren).
Pöyry
Infra
is furthermore responsible for the preparation of
expert´s reports concerning the environmental impact study, noise (TA
Lärm), concentrations (TA Luft), exhalation (GIRL) and hydrology. The
design of the railway siding including the allocation to the plants is
also rendered by Pöyry Infra.

Railway
equipment for the Gotthard base tunnel, Switzerland
The
longest railway tunnel in the world is being constructed through the Gotthard
massif.
The requirements of the railway equipment of the tunnel section (2 x 57
km) and the immediately adjacent new multitrack lines of, in all, 10 km
to the south and north represent a big challenge for all involved. Tried
and tested innovative solutions are required taking the special tunnel
conditions as well as the high operational load of a high-speed and high-capacity
line (Ve = 250 km/h) into consideration.
Within the syndicate, Pöyry Infra is responsible for offer processing
concerning the RAMS analysis (RAMS - Reliability, Availability, Maintainability,
Safety) according to EN 50126 as well as for the professional support
of the overhead contact line section.

Construction
control of the New Eastern Ring Road in Wittenberg, Germany
The
New Eastern Ring Road of 1.5 km in Luther's Wittenberg (Germany) crosses
the railway line of Horka-Roßlau and the TEN section No. 1 Berlin-Halle/
Leipzig by two bridges. Taking the special railway operation concerns
into consideration the bridges are erected in composite steel and concrete
structure using prefabricated girders. The complex road construction also
involves two large intersections with traffic lights and a parallel footpath
and bicycle track as well as extensive line relocation. A wall of 4 m
in height protects against noise. In order to minimise the interference
in a brook habitat the structures have been planned to allow otters and
beavers to penetrate.
Overall planning including numerous individual planning projects has already
been completed. Pöyry
Infra will primarily render the
following subsequent services:
-
General construction management
- Railway construction
supervision
- Operational
construction planning and co-ordination

Extension
of the PKV container terminal Duisburg, Germany
The PKV container terminal Duisburg-Ruhrort-Hafen (PKV - Planungsgesellschaft Kombinierter Verkehr mbH) presently consists of 5 tracks and the pertaining storage and loading tracks for containers. Two portal frames and additional mobile equipment handle the transfer. The existing capacities of the terminal are exhausted and thus an extension has been planned.
The terminal will be extended to a total of eight parallel tracks. In addition to the two existing portal frames, a third one will be installed. The reception yard will be connected by additional switches so that four tracks will have a separate reception yard respectively. The overhead contact lines of the southern reception yard tracks will extend to the position of the engine. Via the development of a new storage area of approx. 7,000 m² there is the possibility to newly arrange the existing gate way and the storage area for the trucks.
Pöyry Infra is the
general planning contractor and has received orders for all HOAI (German
Official Scale of Fees for Services by Architects and Engineers) performance
phase as well as for the site supervision:
-
Traffic facilities (tracks, moving and loading
tracks)
-
Storage area (approx. 7,000 m²)
-
Technical equipment
-
Signalling
-
Overhead contact lines
-
Drainage facilities
The approval procedure
by EBA Essen has largely been finalised. .
Building is anticipated to start with the construction of the new storage
area in October 2006. The extension is supposed to be completed by August
2007.
