The deadline for building a tunnel “Putnikovo brdo 1” located on the Corridor VC on the turn against the border with the BiH Federation will be moved again, and the shifting deadline will be quite certain to lead to additional costs, Capital reveals.
The deadline for the construction of this tunnel has already been moved from the end this year, but since the works are suspended and since it is already known to be completed by the end of the year, the deadline will be moved again.
From the Highway of the Republika Srpska, it was confirmed for our portal that certain problems arose, which is why the works were suspended.
“When performing the primary tunnel lining, there was an overwhelming of the material, which led to the temporary suspension of the works in the Tunnel itself, after which the Contracting and Building Based” for additional geological and investigative works to analyze the condition of the material in the location tunnel “, They say from the RS highway.
According to their words, the Geotechnical Consultant has prepared reports and analyzes in March, which recommend certain changes and additional activities in the methodology of performing works, which, how to recognize, could lead to additional costs.
As we learn, the geotechnical consultant when he hired the contractor, suggested that a completely different methodology of performing works was used due to excessive expansion of material.
“It was proposed that the tunnel is done by a meter per meter and if the works must be continued according to that methodology, it will significantly slow and certainly promote works”, She finds out Capital.
However, they could not say from the RS highway as much as possible additional costs.
“After the final report, the contractor prepares a new methodology, after which we will have more precise technical, time and financial data,” They say from the RS highway.
They note that similar problems appeared on the majority of the Corridor VC, especially the results of the technical documentation, made in 2010. by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of BiH, which the RS highways inherited.
“At this point, it is difficult to define deadlines, because the new technical solution can potentially have certain shortening in the construction of tunnel pipes and replacement with a notch”, They say from highway, stating that depending on the new technical solution and methodology, there may have been to certain weather and financial savings.
However, from this public enterprise point out that a much greater problem on this project is the inability to obtain a building permit in the part of the project located on the territory of the FBiH.
Trans-European Corridor VCs will connect to the Adriatic Power of Ploče, and part of this TarnSporting route passes through BiH is 335 kilometers long, of which 46.6 kilometers of corridors will be built on the territory of the Republika Srpska.
The most demanding stock on the Corridor VC through the RS whose length of 5.5 kilometers includes a 328 meter long bridge over the river Bosna, two two-pipe tunnels and 250 meters long. The contractor is “Integral Engineering” from Laktas, and the supervision is performed by “Ird Engeneering” from Italy. The value of the works is 214.5 million KM, and are financed from the loan of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), writes Capital
