Seven thousand one hundred cubic meters of concrete, 180 kilometers of wiring, 750 tons of reinforcing steel and 22 kilometers of pipelines. Budimex has completed the work and handed over the Research and Development Centre to\u00a0the investor PKN ORLEN. The contract value \u00a0 is approx. PLN 167 million net.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The contract with the investor was signed in\u00a0April 2019. The investment was carried out in\u00a0the EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) formula. In\u00a0addition to\u00a0the project, Budimex\u2019s task was also to\u00a0build and equip the Centre\u2019s turnkey buildings along with the commissioning of the supplied equipment, m.in.\u00a0measuring and laboratory equipment. The P\u0142ock R&D Centre will be\u00a0tasked with developing the refining and petrochemical industry, implementing new technical solutions and working on\u00a0new technologies and products. The centre will also deal with streamlining and optimising the processes already underway.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn accordance with the investor\u2019s expectations and in\u00a0connection with the functions performed, the complex of buildings included in\u00a0the R&D Centre had to\u00a0be\u00a0adapted to\u00a0the research specifics of the refining and petrochemical industry and meet the highest construction requirements. Budimex, as\u00a0a\u00a0general contractor with extensive experience, met all the investor\u2019s technological and timely expectations. The scale of the project is evidenced by\u00a0the huge material outlays used to\u00a0build the facility \u2013 750 tonnes of steel were used to\u00a0make it \u2013 this is 3 times more than the total weight of the Statue of Liberty \u2013 says Artur Popko<\/strong>, President of the Management Board of Budimex.<\/p>\n

The investment consists of eight facilities. The complex of office and industrial buildings combining research and warehouse functions includes m.in.\u00a0a\u00a0technical building with a\u00a0laboratory, research and testing facilities with a\u00a0mapping and piloting hall with an area of nearly 2000 m\u00b2, test and raw materials warehouse buildings. As\u00a0part of the investment, an external warehouse with an installation for preparing fuel mixtures was also built, as\u00a0well as\u00a0an office building, which is the administrative base of the entire complex and all the necessary technical infrastructure. The construction works carried out by\u00a0Budimex also included the construction of infrastructure accompanying the buildings: internal roads, car parks and manoeuvring areas. The R&D Centre is located on\u00a0an area of 43,000\u00a0m2. The land reserve allows for the expansion of the facility in\u00a0the future.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe R&D Centre is supplied with environmentally friendly electricity. The facility has been equipped with modern, self-clearing photovoltaic panels and a\u00a0carport (with a\u00a0total capacity of 94 kWp) and a\u00a0wind turbine producing green energy with a\u00a0capacity of 2800 W. There is also an electric vehicle charging station in\u00a0the complex,\u201d says Artur Popko<\/strong>, President of the Management Board of Budimex. \u201cAs part of the work, an educational path was also created, where we\u00a0can find m.in.\u00a0interactive installations on\u00a0the importance of fuels and chemistry in\u00a0our lives and the directions of development of this important area of life, walls or\u00a0information tables, and even the spatial periodic table of elements,\u201d adds Artur Popko<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design-advanced and technologically advanced surface allows for flexible installation of research installations with a\u00a0height of up to\u00a015 meters. The complex also includes a\u00a0high and low temperature climatic chamber, an engine dynamometer stand, as\u00a0well as\u00a0technologically advanced facilities located in\u00a0the so-called \u201cS. media generation belt, including two cooling towers, a\u00a0container boiler room and a\u00a0compressor, a\u00a0nitrogen tank, as\u00a0well as\u00a0water treatment plants.<\/p>\n
