The progress of work at the T3 Baltic Hub terminal has reached 40 percent.

The new T3 Baltic Hub container terminal under construction in Gdańsk, implemented by the consortium of Budimex and Deme Dredging, has reached 40 percent of the construction progress level. The facility will be one of the most modern of its kind in Poland and Europe.  The stage of landing and housing of nearly forty hectares of land has just been completed. Currently, mainly pile driving and reinforced concrete works are being carried out. The hammering of steel brus on the southern wall of the terminal has also begun. All activities are carried out with the utmost care for the natural environment.

The implementation of Baltic Hub T3 is m.in. construction of a deep-water quay with a total length of 717 m, depth of 18 m and a square with an area of 36 ha. Upon completion, the terminal’s handling capacity will increase from the current 3 million to 4.5 million TEU per year, making  it one of the largest facilities of its kind in Europe, capable of handling the largest ships in the world. The completion of construction works is planned for the third quarter of 2025.

The T3 container terminal is to be semi-automatic, and the entire process of control and management of the facility will be carried out from a building far away from it. The scope of teletechnical works in this investment is unprecedented in Poland so far.

– At the moment, we have completed hydrotechnical works, we are entering the stage of construction works, during which the surface of the terminal, rails and all equipment used for container handling will be built. Extremely interesting, taking into account the uniqueness of the facility and its role, is the use of telecommunications and power engineering – says Jakub Długoszek, Director of Infrastructure Construction at Budimex SA.

„Such a large construction site carried out on the waterfront requires exceptional care for the environment. That is why all our activities are carried out with due care for the animals living here. In order to protect them, the works are carried out under environmental supervision – adds Anna Soszyńska, Environmental Protection Coordinator on the contract for the construction of the T3 terminal at Budimex SA.

The latest technologies have been used in the construction of the T3 terminal, thanks to which the natural environment in which the new terminal is being built will remain undisturbed. Environmental monitoring is carried out, and noise is tested underwater and on land. In addition, special deterrent devices are used to protect marine mammals.  

This is not the only example of the Budimex Group’s activities aimed at actively protecting the Baltic coast region. In December last year, cooperation was established with the Foundation for the Development of the University of Gdańsk, responsible for the Marine Station and Seal Centre in Hel. As a result of the cooperation, an advanced biochemical analyzer was provided to the seal rehabilitation center, which will help in the restoration of the population of marine mammals – seals and porpoises.

Environmental protection is one of Budimex’s priorities. The company wants to be an industry leader in this field and therefore consistently invests in renewable energy sources and reduces its carbon footprint. To achieve climate neutrality, the company is gradually switching to a circular economy model.
