On the 19th March this year in the office of the ministry there was held a meeting of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy Sławomir Nowak with the representatives of the Parliamentary Club of the Law and Justice: Jerzy Polaczek, Andrzej Adamczyk, Krzysztof Tchórzewski and Jerzy Szmit, and also the Chairman of the Parliamentary Infrastructure Committee Zbigniew Rynasiewicz (Civic Platform) and the Vice Chairman of the Committee Stanisław Żmijan (CP). The Secretary of the State in the MTCME Tadeusz Jarmuziewicz and the General Director for National Roads and Motorways Lech Witecki were present. During the meeting the situation on the construction site of the section C of the A2 motorway between Łódź and Warszawa was discussed, the subcontractors of the DSS SA presented their difficult situation in the settlement with DSS SA.
General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways reminds the subcontractors of the construction works, that the legal protection indicated in Article 6471 of the Civil Code (so-called joint and several liability) is vested in them. To such protection are entitled the subcontractors approved by the GDDKiA.
With regard to the Wednesday’s statement of the Eurovia company, incorporated into the Vinci group, which is the polemic with the facts determined in the course of the detailed laboratory tests, the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways informs:
The fulfilment of the contractual obligations, including making up for the delays, was the aim of the change of the leader of the consortium constructing section C of the A2 motorway. The company BOGL a KRYSL took over all works from the Dolnośląskie Surowce Skalne. The DSS remains the member of the consortium.
The results of the tests conducted by the GDDKiA laboratories are shocking – more than 90 percent of the cracks on the A2 route resulted from the obvious construction malpractice – the improper technological junctions of the particular layers of the road surface or the improper saw cutting of the layers of the motorway.
All contractors at the Stryków - Konotopa section of the A2 route responded to the GDDKiA request to submit remedial programmes. The document forwarded by the contractor of the C section, the DSS company, has already been verified by the GDDKiA. The programme meets all contractual requirements and the contractor confirmed to maintain the warranty for the surface.
Most of the low-temperature cracks at the A1 and A2 expressways being under the construction phase is located at the junction of working parcels - as it could be seen from the preliminary analysis of proposals for repair of the cracks submitted by three of contractors at the A1 (SRB and Sando) and the A2 (DSS) expressways.
After the yesterday request to contractors for the immediate repair of cracks at the A2 expressway Stryków - Konotopa, the General Directorate has achieved the first Remedial Programme submitted by the DSS company constructing the C section.
The Supreme Administrative Court upheld the cassation field by the Lublin division of the GDDKiA concerning repeal of the judgment of the Voivodeship Administrative Court on the environmental decision for the western bypass road of Lublin. The court found that variants of the route were prepared at the stage of obtaining the location decision, which was controlled by both the Voivodeship and the Supreme Administrative Court.
Merely two out of eleven contractors of expressways A1 and A2 being constructed at the moment submitted remedial programmes concerning removal of cracks and chaps detected recently by technologists of the GDDKiA.
Presented remedial programmes shall be analysed during next few days, no later than by the 9th of March.
