Rząd szykuje kolejną gigainwestycję. Cztery miliardy na Małaszewicze?
Jeszcze w tym roku rząd chce przyjąć program budowy Parku Logistycznego Małaszewicze – polskiej bramy do Nowego Jedwabnego Szlaku. Zapowiadana wartość inwestycji, którą przy wsparciu środków unijnych chce przeprowadzić Cargotor, to aż cztery miliardy złotych. Nie są to plany na mglistą...
The Cargotor company has applied for a building permit for the Małaszewicze Logistics Park. It is one of the largest investments in Poland, with an estimated value of as much as PLN four billion. We reveal what is covered by such a great project.
As we wrote yesterday, the government wants to adopt the program of building the Małaszewicze Logistics Park - the Polish gate to the New Silk Road this year. It is a reconstruction of the Małaszewicze Loading Region, which has been prepared for many years, and which Cargotor - a company from the PKP Cargo Group, wants to carry out. The investor already has a construction project and has applied for a building permit, which he wants to obtain at the turn of the third and fourth quarter at the latest.
Design for a fraction of the value
The estimated value of the investment to be financed by the state budget and EU funds is PLN 3.25 billion net, i.e. almost PLN 4 billion. The construction design and the feasibility study were prepared by Systra under a contract concluded in 2017. The disproportion between the cost of documentation and the estimated value of the investment, unprecedented in public procurement, is a big surprise here - the contract for the preparation of both documentation amounted to over PLN 6 million net (exactly PLN 7.99 million gross), which is only two per mille of the investment value.
Is that a disturbing difference? During the meeting with the stakeholders, the investor only ensured that the contract was concluded after the tender was conducted in accordance with the public procurement law. However, it is worth recalling that the estimated contract value in the tender was twice as high (PLN 13.5 million), although still much lower than 1% of the investment value. The most expensive bid in the tender amounted to almost PLN 16 million gross.
Preparation of documentation was not without problems. As we informed, the contract with Systra has been annexed. The completion date was extended, and its value was slightly increased - to PLN 8.66 million gross. There were several reasons for the extension of the implementation deadline by one year, one of them was the incompatibility of the plans of Cargotor and the manager of Polish railway lines, PKP PLK.
Plenty of preparations
During the recent investor consultations, Jarosław Zwolski from Systra presented in detail the enormous amount of work carried out by his company during the three years of the project implementation. The scale of the task must inspire respect - the project team consisted of up to 100 people, and 21 subcontractors participated in the work (e.g. economic analyzes were carried out by the state Transport Economics Research Center in Warsaw).
The investment is to allow the new Logistics Park to accept longer trains (1050 meters instead of 750 meters) and heavier (axle load 25 tons instead of 22.5 tons) than before. All rails will be adapted to the UIC60 standard, and the top speed will increase to 40 km / h. The following goals were defined, among others, improving the technical condition of the infrastructure and reducing maintenance expenditure (automation, higher quality of materials), increasing the safety of rail and road traffic, organizing ownership relations, and building maintenance, workshop and warehouse facilities. - When designing, we wanted to achieve the greatest possible versatility in traffic, so that from each track there would be as many opportunities to enter a different track as possible - said the representative of the designer.
The infrastructure will be new in every aspect
The detailed scope of the project includes the modernization of all six existing stations (Chotyłów, Bór, Małaszewicze Centralne and Rozrządowa, Kobylany and Zaborze, as well as construction of three new ones - Kobylany Zachodnie (owned by the control area), Osypisko and Karaczewo. Some of the existing stations will be connected. The installation of modern traffic control is planned for the entire 170 km of the normal- and broad-gauge network, as well as an integrated Technical Service Center and offices for 300 people who are to be employed here.
The scope of hard infrastructure includes the reconstruction of roads, railway crossings, culverts, bridges, the construction of overpasses over the tracks, the reconstruction of virtually the entire traction network (it is only hung over tracks with a European gauge of 1435 mm), telecommunication, electricity, sanitary and water networks. There will also be new lighting, turnout heating and monitoring. The prepared construction project is presented in numbers as follows:
An important element of the project is the reconstruction of the railway line No. 450, which is the backbone of the area. It is planned to extend it, correct the geometry, build three passages and partially - a second track, replace the surface and build road viaducts and noise barriers. Systra has also planned to change its course so that it does not fall within the PKP Cargo terminal, as it is now. - The reconstruction of the railway network also forces the reconstruction of crossings and sections of internal roads in cooperation with municipalities - explained Jarosław Zwolski. An interesting fact is leaving, at the request of PKP Cargo, a hump that is useless for container handling; it will be necessary to move it.
Four and a half years of construction work
Cezary Mitrus, cond. Cargotor's design and development office announced that the project is an invitation to cooperation for all users of the terminal - carriers, forwarders and terminal owners. - We expect carriers to adapt their resources to meet the expectations of the owners of goods, from owners of faster transhipment terminals, which takes an average of 6 to 12 hours, and from shippers - involvement in the daily control over the relocation and approval of loads - he added, adding that achieving the target transport capacity depends on it is from the actions of all participants.
The pessimism of the representative of Cargotor regarding transshipments to railways sounded quite disturbing. - After the investment is completed, we would like all the goods that entered the wide track to go on the normal track, but this is wishful thinking; the reality is different, most of the cargo is transported by trucks. We are working to ensure that the planned A2 motorway has a quick connection to the terminal - said the representative of Cargotor. One gets the impression that such action will worsen the competitive position of railways in transport; in the assumptions of the investment we read that the new road system will lead traffic directly to the motorway without entering the surrounding towns. The local community is also expected to benefit, for example, by building a new collector and an additional reactor in the sewage treatment plant.
We are to know the contractor of construction works by the end of 2022. The construction works themselves - with the least possible interference with train traffic - are to last from the beginning of 2023 until mid-2026.
