Total Polska is expanding its Road Asphalt Terminal in Ścinawa, which it acquired in 2008. Since then, the corporation has been investing in the facility by carrying out modernization works. Currently, a project is being implemented, among others, under which the storage park of the Road Asphalt Terminal in Ścinawa will be more than doubled by adding a tank with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters.
Previously, the total capacity of all tanks at the Ścinawa Terminal was 2,100 cubic meters. Thanks to the new investment, it will more than double. The construction of the 3,000 cubic meter tank will be completed in January, before the start of the 2016 production season.
Modernization works in Ścinawa are carried out depending on identified needs. Since 2008, Total has invested over half a million zlotys in the installation of equipment to limit the impact of the Road Asphalt Terminal on the environment. The corporation’s pro-ecological activities included: a significant reduction in emission sources, the installation of activated carbon filters, and a prototype MOS device used for air purification using high temperatures. In 2014, the production of the colorless binder Kromatis was launched. It is a unique, patented product that is used, among other things, in creating multi-colored bicycle path surfaces, bright roads in tunnels, specially marked parking spaces, or colorful pedestrian walkways.
– We are committed to the continuous development of our asphalt business in Poland. That is why we decided to invest in a new tank at the Ścinawa Terminal. The expansion of the tank, which will enable the start of new production, is the first stage of the project. We are also building a railway siding to supply the Terminal. These projects give a new dimension to our operations. In total, we plan to allocate 8-9 million PLN for them. All this will help us increase competitiveness, expand our product range, and provide better service to our customers – said Artur Kulczycki, Bitumen Director at TOTAL Polska.
