Very interesting approach by DB Netz. In fact a real paradigm shift in rail maintenance/renewal of the core network !

Last week the rail sector in Sweden met at "Network Statement Day/JNB dagen" to get an overview of news of Trafikverket's railway services and conditions for operating the railway network in 2025. I had the opportunity to inform about the international news that will be relevant in future Network Statements, 2025 and beyond. Partly ongoing joint development in Europe between Infrastructure Managers but also upcoming new regulations and directives. All these things at some point ends up as news and prerequisite in the upcoming Network Statements. Hanna Melker, TTR Project Manager, once again described the new capacity planning process and how we in Sweden are working to introduce it, given legal conditions. The capacity strategy is already successfully implemented. Jörgen Elvstrand informed about the new structure for commercial condionions for cancellation of capacity with the purpose to steer the parties bahavior for a smarter use of capacity and reduce waste of capacity, the new is now being harmonized and introduced gradually in Europe.

Performance-based road maintenance contracts (PBRM) can be essential to improve road conditions and reduce costs. Sharing lessons from the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region, this report highlights experiences and provides recommendations for future PBRMs in these countries.

While "our 😉 " D4 PPP project is being 🛣️built according to the schedule and should be opened later this year (right, VIA SALIS?), it is my great pleasure to be selected as part of the consortium (PwC Czech Republic, White & Case LLP, SIEBERT+TALAŠ_cz, Mott MacDonald) advising Ministerstvo dopravy ČR (Martin Kupka, Lenka Hamplová, Jan Ornst, Martin Janeček, Zbyněk Hořelica, Radek Mátl, Tomas Blecha) on the selection of a concessionaire for the completion of selected sections of the D35 highway using the same PPP method🏗️. Our task (in the shortest possible time) is to prepare the selection of a concessionaire who will then be in charge of the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance (DBFOM) of the D35 section between Opatovec and Mohelnice, as well as the operation and maintenance (OM) of the section from Litomyšl to Opatovec. Total length of the project when operational will be 57km🚧 with estimated capex of 33,6 mld CZK. 📣We are launching our work with the Investor's day (13. 6. 2024) where we shall present key project parameters to the potential bidders 💶Financial close / 👷construction start is then planned for Q1 2026 🤞Let's hope we will all manage to foster and expand the success of recent PPPs in the Czech Republic; a country which has now officially become (together with new rail PPPs) "🔥hot infra investors market🌶️" for next few years. #PPP #GDPincrease #D1alternative #privatecapitalmobilisation
