  • Another HB Reavis Warsaw Asset Awarded the BREEAM Excellent Certificate
    19 October 2015 Press Release Another HB Reavis Warsaw asset awarded the BREEAM Excellent certificate The Warsaw office complex West Station, currently under construction in the direct vicinity of Warszawa Zachodnia railway station, has been awarded the BREEAM Interim certificate at the Excellent level. The project's developer and owner is HB Reavis. The audit was carried out by Go4Energy. This is the third BREEAM certificate granted to a HB Reavis investment in Warsaw, following Gdański Business Center and Postępu 14 which also received the same honour for their sustainable designs. 'West Station’s recent receipt of the BREEAM Interim certificate at the Excellent level is testament that all of HB Reavis’ projects are developed to the highest standard, using top- quality materials, and modern ecological and technological solutions,' said Stanislav Frnka, President of the Management Board at HB Reavis Poland. He added: 'These credentials are particularly satisfactory given the audit resulted in very high grades in two areas of particular importance to our future tenants - the categories pertaining to the development’s accessibility and to the health and well-being of future tenants'. 'BREEAM is the most highly recognised method for assessing the quality of buildings in Europe. The certification process entails the analysis of ten areas including, among others, energy efficiency, location and access to public transportation and all kinds of services, as well as the quality of construction materials employed. The West Station complex received 73.2% of the maximum number of points under BREEAM Interim. This is an impressive result, which is best evidenced by the fact that only a dozen or so office buildings in the city can to date boast a similar grade,' said Tomasz Augustyniak, a licensed BREEAM Accredited Professional.

Hardware and software solutions used by this systems and benefits of implement them are also pointed out. Takes into account the areas of financial management as well as the areas of operational manage- ment, specific for their activities. These issues are presented in the context of technology and economy. It has been proved that the organizational solu- tions imply the impossibility of efficient use of resources allocated to infor- mation systems due to consummate the benefits of consolidation, virtualiza- tion and cloud computing is impossible. Keywords: managing systems, railway industry, consolidation, virtualization, cloud computing. 1. Introduction IT is a very important part of modern enterprise and its quality and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) may determine a competitive advantage in the market. IT solutions are particularly significant in companies on the railway market like PKP Group companies. Modern IT has a number of solutions that increase productivity and significantly lowering TCO, which is the sum of capital and operating costs. Currently the leading role is played by systems operating in the cloud environment with the ability to provide both highest availability and highest performance for the various applications while reducing costs thanks to consolidation, virtualization, automation of service delivery and management.

Its western terminus, Shelby, connects to the Marias Pass route DLC from Dovetail Games, thus completing the entire Hi-Line Subdivision from Whitefish to Havre in Train Simulator. History The Hi-Line subdivision is part of BNSF's busy northern transcontinental mainline (Chicago-Seattle). It was originally built in the late 19th century by James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway (GN) and is the northernmost of the transcontinental railroads in the United States. The building of the Great Northern mainline brought a settlement boom to the plains of Montana, many of the small towns and villages along what is today called the Hi-Line subdivision where established during or shortly after the construction of the railroad. Havre and Shelby, the two end points of this route, were important junction points on the Great Northern. At Havre, a secondary mainline, routed through the beautiful upper Missouri canyon, branched off towards Great Falls, MT, an important traffic hub in the GN network. That line no longer exists today, only two short branch lines from Havre to Big Sandy in the north and from Great Falls to Fort Benton in the south remain in (very infrequent) service.
