Project Gothenburg–Borås- new main lines for high-speed trains

• We are planning an approximately 60 km long double track

railway between Gothenburg and Borås, adapted for a top speed

of 250 km/h. The new railway connects the larger cities in western

Sweden and improves communication to Landvetter Airport. The

expansion also creates an opportunity for faster travel between

Gothenburg and Stockholm as part of a new planned main line

between Gothenburg and Stockholm.

Welcome to this earlydialogue in the project

Gothenburg-Borås!

Today’s agenda

• Introduction and presentation of participants

• Purpose of the early dialogue & Dialogue rules

• Trafikverket’s presentation of the project and upcoming business

opportunitues

• Time schedule for upcoming procurements of railway plans etc.

• Important points of reference going forward

• The supplier’s presentation in short

• Discussion about Trafikverket’s supplied questions and the

supplier’s answers

• Any other questions

Introduction and presentation of

participantsWho is who and who does what?

Here, representatives from the supplier went first and introduced

themselves and then the clients's representatives took over and

introduced themselves. At this point, we had our video cameras on.

Purpose of the dialogue Dialogue rules

• The purpose of today's early dialogue is

to discuss the topics stated in the

invitation and give Trafikvkerket advice

and tips on what requirements,

compensation model, evaluation model

etc. that the supplier wishes to see in

future procurement

• NOTE !: this is not a dialogue that will

result in Trafikverket promising to

implement the proposals raised by the

supplier, but should be seen as a

constructive dialogue between two

parties

IMPORTANT!

No information that is said or displayed

during this dialogue can be guaranteed to be

included in the upcoming procurement

process.

All participating parties shall respect this and

everyone is permitted to speak without

interruption. The procurement manager leads

the dialogue and ensures that we stay within

the set time and content.

Why a new railway line between Gothenburg-Borås?

12

Western Sweden is expanding

9,5 millionCommuter traffic is

carried out every year

between Gothenburg-

Borås.

BusIs the most common form of

transport between Gothenburg

– Borås - along with the car.

The railway is currently

struggling to compete.

Borås

Take the train to

and from

Landvetter Airport

More trains

Gothenburg and

Borås

Sustainable travel

Four advantages of a new railway between Gothenburg

and Borås

15

Creating conditions for fast train journeys between Gothenburg-Borås is extremely

important in connecting these cities, which are the two largest in the region.

More trains between Gothenburg-Borås, both high-speed trains and high-speed

regional trains, as well as more departures per day are one of the benefits of the new

double-track railway.

Being able to travel sustainably and minimize our environmental impact is in focus

and permeates the entire New Main Railways and Gothenburg-Borås.

Being able to take the train to and from Landvetter Airport is important to enable fast

travel to and from the airport into central Gothenburg. Opens up for more business

travelers and private travel.

Facts:

Project Gothenburg-Borås

60 kmDouble-track,

ballasted

250 km/hfor high-speed trains and

fast regional trains

2025-2027Planned early

construction start for the

project

The Gothenburg-Borås and East Link projects are both planned for ballasted tracks. Hässleholm-Lund

is planning for a fixed track system. The new tracks will be served by high-speed trains and high-speed

regional trains. There will be no freight trains on the new line.

PresentNew localization study where we ensure the best stretch based on new conditions regarding speed, station locations and an entire stretch.

The localization should be ready for delivery by the beginning of 2022. Previous investigations are used as knowledge bases.

2020-12-1419

On the previous slide we see a map of the investigation area and remaining corridor

alternatives prior to consultation 2, 2020-09-14 (ongoing, until 6/11).

The localization study is the first step in the planning process towards a railway plan.

The localization study defines a corridor within an evaluation area between

Gothenburg and Borås.

Several corridors will be compared with different criteria (financial, environmental

impact, sustainability and several other criterias) to decide which one should be

recommended.

Later, the railway plan will define the railway within the corridor

Landscape/topographyThe new railway between Gothenburg and Borås will go through a hilly landscape..

On the previous slide we se challenges between Gothenburg-Borås linked to the

landscape.

The hilly landscape is a major challenge which means that we need to work with the

railway's location in height. This has an impact on costs, the landscape and not least

the mass balance.

Many constructions

Tunnels

Lengths between

about 300 m and

9 000 m

Bridges

Lengths between about

30 m and 1 000 m

Stations

3 stations are evaluated

5 municipalities are

affected

With such a hilly evaluation area (see slide 21), we know that there will be many structures such as bridges

and tunnels. Based on the early stages of the project, no decision has been made on the exact location of the

tracks. So consider the figures in relation to the early stage of the project. Three stations of national interest

(Mölndal (south of Gothenburg), Landvetter Airport and Borås).

Next phase

Once a selected corridor has been decided, the next phase of the project begins, which is the procurement of and production of railway plans, environmental impact assessments and preliminary design documents.

The railway plan will define the railway within the decided corridor.

When the highest ranked corridor is identified, we enter the next phase, which is the railway planning stage. Procurement shall take place of a number of railway plans in packages with environmental impact assessment (EIA) and system documentation.

2021-2022

Procurement of railway plans, environmental

impact assessments and preliminary designs

During the autumn of 2020, we will work together with Hässleholm-Lund. We will meet suppliers and

discuss how the procurements of railway plans and future contracts can be designed during the

autumn of 2020. The railway plans will be procured in 2021.

The time for the preparation and adoption of railway plans is not exact but may extend into 2025

depending on the government's approval process.

More dialogues will be carried out during the program and of course before the upcoming construction

phase.

Planned construction start during 2025-2027 and these are important years for the program to work

from the outside. This is also a priority within the Västra Götaland region and the municipalities affected

along the route.

Approximately 10 years of construction

Contracts/procurements

Railway plan: 3-5 different contracts

Varying compensation models

Construction: The Swedish Transport Administration

mainly applies design & build contracts

or construction contracts. The design &

build contracts can be TEM contracts.

Total cost: approx. 33 billion Swedish crowns

Based on the early stage of the project, no decisions have been made regarding how many contracts for the

railway plan or construction contracts there will be. We have also not made any decisions on forms of contract

and which forms of contract should be available along the route. There could be several contract forms

pertaining to construction within the same railway plan area.
