Tunnel Renovation Program AUSTRIA - Next Level ASFINAG, AT Within the framework of the ASFINAG tunnel renovation and extension programme based on the EU directive on road tunnel safety, around 50 individual projects were completed in the TERN network with a total volume of around EUR 1.7 billion. As of April 2019, all relevant projects have been successfully completed on schedule, thus significantly increasing tunnel safety in Austria. ASFINAG is now facing the next major challenges. These are due to the ageing of facilities, IT security requirements, electricity saving requirements, short life cycles of safety equipment and finally also due to the necessary compliance with the EU directive on road tunnel safety 2029 in Austria's Non TERN network. The investment volume required for this is more than EUR 3.5 billion until 2035 and the actual measures required are still being evaluated on an ongoing basis. This enormous project and investment volume presents ASFINAG with almost insurmountable tasks. These begin with maintaining tunnel availability for users and end with the actual feasibility in cooperation with stakeholders, planning companies, construction companies, authorities, equipment suppliers. It is also questionable whether sufficient capacity is available at suppliers and in the personnel sector. In order to ensure the feasibility of this Next Level Programme, strategic and operational concepts with effective measures are urgently needed. Without these, a sufficient level of safety in Austrian motorway tunnels will not be sustainable in the long term. An overview of the projects, tasks and topics presented is given and the first measures and activities already initiated by ASFINAG are presented. |
