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 the investor PKN ORLEN. The contract value \u00a0 is approx. PLN 167 million net.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The contract with the investor was signed in April 2019. The investment was carried out in the EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) formula. In addition to the project, Budimex\u2019s task was also to build and equip the Centre\u2019s turnkey buildings along with the commissioning of the supplied equipment, m.in. measuring and laboratory equipment. The P\u0142ock R&D Centre will be tasked with developing the refining and petrochemical industry, implementing new technical solutions and working on new 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 connection with the functions performed, the complex of buildings included in the R&D Centre had to be adapted to the research specifics of the refining and petrochemical industry and meet the highest construction requirements. Budimex, as a general contractor with extensive experience, met all the investor\u2019s technological and timely expectations. The scale of the project is evidenced by the huge material outlays used to build the facility \u2013 750 tonnes of steel were used to make 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. a technical building with a laboratory, research and testing facilities with a mapping and piloting hall with an area of nearly 2000 m\u00b2, test and raw materials warehouse buildings. As part of the investment, an external warehouse with an installation for preparing fuel mixtures was also built, as well as an office building, which is the administrative base of the entire complex and all the necessary technical infrastructure. The construction works carried out by Budimex also included the construction of infrastructure accompanying the buildings: internal roads, car parks and manoeuvring areas. The R&D Centre is located on an area of 43,000\u00a0m2. The land reserve allows for the expansion of the facility in the 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 carport (with a total capacity of 94 kWp) and a wind turbine producing green energy with a capacity of 2800 W. There is also an electric vehicle charging station in the 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 can find m.in. interactive installations on the importance of fuels and chemistry in our lives and the directions of development of this important area of life, walls or information 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 height of up to 15 meters. The complex also includes a high and low temperature climatic chamber, an engine dynamometer stand, as well as technologically advanced facilities located in the so-called \u201cS. media generation belt, including two cooling towers, a container boiler room and a compressor, a nitrogen tank, as well as water treatment plants.<\/p>\n

The R&D Centre has implemented an Educational Path, which includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n
