The Follo Line Project International Presentation Conference 2012 Tuesday 27th november The Follo Line Project International Presentation Conference 2012 Facts, scope & strategy Mr. Erik Smith Project Director The Follo Line - Background The Follo Line will be built to meet the increased demand for rail capacity south of Oslo • 1,1 million residents in the Oslo region • 30 % population increase by 2025 • Currently no spare capacity on neither rail nor road • 150 000 passengers every day • Great potential for increased freight traffic The Follo Line – Facts and scope • The largest railway project in Norway • New double-track railway line between Oslo Central Station and the public transport centre of Ski • The whole Follo Line project will comprise around 64 km of track, while the new double track Oslo-Ski line will be 2x22 km long. • Extensive works at Oslo Central Station • Construction of a new station at Ski • The longest railway tunnel in Norway - approximately 19,5 km Efficient transport • The Follo Line will reach speeds of up to 250 km/h through the tunnel, • The new tunnel will make it possible to reduce the journey time between Oslo and Ski by 50% (from 22 to 11 minutes) • The double track line will form the core part of InterCity development southwards from Oslo and will be a safe, efficient and environmentally-friendly transport system Growth and improved passenger satisfaction The Follo Line will pave the way for: • more passenger trains and freight trains • a more predictable service By 2025 the target is: • 11,000 more passengers every day • Almost 70% increase in rail passengers to Oslo Central Station during the rush hour • More than 40% increase in rail passengers to Oslo Central Station outside the rush hour • Approximately 5,800 fewer car journeys per day • Approximately 750 fewer heavy freight vehicle journeys per day • Less CO2 emission: a reduction of around 39,000 tons of CO2 per year (passenger and freight traffic) Present schedule Prop. 1S 2013 – 2014: Governmental Proposition Project completion 1/11 1/3 2014 -> 1/4 1/7 2013 -> 1/10 Q4 2019 Connection to Oslo Central Station • Extensive works at Oslo Central Station • The Follo Line will be constructed with connections to several platforms • The work shall be carried out with minimum conflict with other traffic • Special attention shall be paid to the Medieval Park Oslo Central Station – Four tracks through Klypen Outbound Follo Line Inbound Follo Line Outbound Østfold Line Inbound Østfold Line Oslo C S Loenga Oslo C S Area: Total Track Length about 9,5 KM Medieval park and Loenga Loenga Medieval park New tracks Oslo Central Station – Medieval park Oslo Central St. Medieval park The Follo Line - Tunnel • The longest railway tunnel in Norway - approximately 19,5 km • Tunnel designed for 250 km/h. • Two separate tubes with cross-passages every 420 meters • Main excavation method is TBM • The tunnel part close to Oslo is planned excavated by Drill and Blast Tunnel sections App. 25 m Cross-connections every 500 meter Tunnels approaching Oslo Central St. Outbound Follo Line Inbound Follo Line Inbound Østfold Line Complicated crossings near Oslo Excavated materials • Environmental transport of excavated materials • ~ 10 000 000 tons ≈ 4 000 000 m3 • Total volume ≈ 2 x Kheops pyramide Volum Khepos = 2 600 000 m3 B x d x h = 230 x 230 x 146 meter The Follo Line – Ski area • The new Ski station shall be built with six tracks and three centre platforms • The scope will include new subway, new road bridge and bus terminal • The scope includes a surface section of approximately 1,5 km, retaining walls and culverts. • All together the total length of new tracks in the Ski area is ~ 16,5 km. Ski station – 3 new centre platforms Surface section between Ski St. and the tunnel Dagstrekningen Langhus - Ski The Follo Line - Strategy Follo line shall satisfy high requirements to: • Quality • Safety • Reliability • Maintainability In order to handle the increasing project portfolio, NNRA has to consider “new” strategies: • Larger contracts • EPC contract models • Contracts with combination of civil construction and rail technology NNRA would like to invite the railway marked to give feedback on how far and fast we can develop these strategies. Requirements to our contractors High safety standard • Documented excellent safety record at previous projects • NNRA will require the bidders to describe in detail how to obtain top class safety standard Ability to perform according to agreed schedule and cost • Experienced and competent organization Ability to cooperate with client • Construction close to tracks in operation The Follo Line Project International Presentation Conference 2012 Contract strategy Mr. Geir Olav Benum Procurement Manager The Follo Line – Contract strategy The Project Director emphasised the following: In order to handle the increasing project portfolio, NNRA has to consider “new” strategies: • Larger contracts • EPC contract models • Contracts with combination of civil construction and rail technology The Follo Line Project has, based upon the above overall strategy, decided to utilise the following main structure. However we would like to invite the marked to give us constructive feedback about this.
