Environmental parameters, monitoring programme (noise monitoring, traffic load vibrations, air quality, water) Air quality management as well as noise obstruction minimization due to the motorway’s construction are amongst the main objectives of the Project’s Constructor and its Operator.

The Constructor, based on the relevant study, designs, elaborates and implements a programme for the Project’s environmental monitoring and audit, in order to ensure compliance with the Project’s environmental requirements.

For that purpose, the Constructor develops a programme for the Project’s monitoring and audit during construction.

Existing Sections

The Project’s monitoring and control programme carried out during construction at the existing sections of “Elefsina - Korinthos” and “K1 Patra By-Pass I/C - Installation of sound barriers, in the Project’s existing sections Midilogli Semi-I/C” has already (Zoodochos Pigi Abbey, Patra By-Pass) begun.

Water resources management

Water resources are being managed according to the pertinent legislation and the restrictions/ limitations imposed by the approved environmental terms both for the Project’s existing and the new sections. In order to facilitate the efficient management of both surface and underground water resources, the respective “Water Resources Management Procedure” has been developed, documenting the existing legislative framework and the means/ instructions of their management.

The Construction Joint Venture by the enforcement of article 5 law 3010/2002 and in accordance with the provisions of article 11.2.1 of the Project’s Concession Agreement proceeded in the Vibration monitoring report elaboration of stream delineation designs (D. Sotiropoulos & Co & L.S.
