The agreement between Tebodin SAP-Projekt and John Paul II International Airport Kraków-Balice regarding the project for the construction of a taxiway from the apron (Connector) was signed in March 2009. Under the contract, Tebodin SAP-Projekt assumed the role of Substitute Investor. Currently, the company is participating in organizational and formal-legal activities that will enable the selected contractor, Warbud S.A., to enter the construction site. The contract will be signed in November 2009, and the estimated time for the completion of construction works is 6 months.
– The signing of the contract with Warbud S.A. and its entry onto the construction site marks the completion of a portion of our services – says Rafał Strugała, Director of the Tebodin SAP-Projekt office in Kraków – The two-stage tender procedure related to the selection of the contractor began in March 2009, and its final conclusion will take place in November with the signing of the contract with the contractor. Due to the nature of the work being carried out on the airport premises, close cooperation and coordination of activities between the Airport, Air Traffic Control, Investor Supervision, and the Construction Contractor will be necessary, as well as the maintenance of special safety rules.
The goal of the project is to increase the capacity of the Kraków airport. The construction of the Connector is one of the stages of the Kraków airport expansion planned for the years 2008-2015. Subsequent stages will include further expansion of the airport infrastructure along with the expansion of the passenger terminal. The order is co-financed by the European Union under the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme 2007-2013.
