Failure guarantee: EUR 2.51 billion (excluding VAT), the cost of construction work on the section between Ploiesti and Campina.

9.11 billion euros (without VAT) for the Ploiesti – Brasov highway.

The cost of construction works (taking into account unforeseen expenses):

• 2.76 billion euros (excluding VAT) for the Ploiesti – Campina section.

• 10.02 billion euros (excluding VAT) for the entire sector Ploiesti – Brasov.

The review of the feasibility study of the Ploiesti – Brasov section of the A3 highway and the publication of the multi-criteria analysis AMC1 create the prerequisites for the failure of the construction of the Vala Prahova highway.

PROJECT ON PAPER, FAILURE IN REALITY

Path analysis pencils in project failure before it starts.

1 Placing sections of motorway within 5 alternative route options is unlikely to lead to a relevant and detailed analysis, but rather simulates the existence of some working hypotheses, but actually provokes a particular route option.

Thus, a tonson series of 5 alternatives ends in the middle of bridges, passages or tunnels.

example:

• As part of Alternative 1, Ploiesti – Campina Tonzone 1, 39 km long, has its terminus at an 11 km viaduct (running between km 32+955 and km 43+970).

• In the same situation is section 2 Campina – Komarnik, alternative 1, developed between km 39+000 and km 52+000. This section ends at a viaduct about 10 km long, located between km 46+900 and km 56+850.

The situation is similar in the case of tunnels:

▪ Section 4 Bushteni – Predyal (km 81+350 – km 88+500) of alternative 3 has an end point inside a 7-kilometer tunnel located between km 86+500 and km 93+500.

▪ Section 2 Campina – Komarnik (km 41+800 – km 54+850) of alternative 4 starts in the middle of the 12.7-kilometer tunnel located between km 35+000 – 47+700.

Within all 5 route options for the Ploiesti – Brasov motorway sector studied in the AMC 1 Route Alternatives Study and Report, sections have been developed that have a start/end point at the artwork section (bridges, viaducts, tunnels).

2 The document presented by the developer, the multi-criteria analysis of AMC1, violates its own objectives.

The study of route selection had to be conducted in two stages:

• stage 1, related to the multi-criteria analysis of AMC1, in which 2 route alternatives were selected among the analyzed alternatives;

• stage 2 a, in which a new multi-criteria analysis, AMC2, was to be carried out, and in this analysis, the alternatives selected in stage 1 were to be compared and the final version of the Ploiesti – Brasov motorway section.

However, at the end of the Route Alternatives Study and Report, AMC1’s multi-criteria analysis based on Service Contract No. 92/12517/16.02.2021, the designer offers the final version of the route in the following form:

1. Section 1 Ploiesti – Campina (part of alternative 3).

1. Section 2 Campina – Komarnik (part of alternative 3).

1. Section 3 Komarnik – Bushteni (part of alternative 3).

1. Plot 4 Bushteni – Predyal (part of alternative 5).

• Section 5 Predyal – Ryshnov (part of alternative 5).

• Section 6 Ryshnov – Kodlia (part of alternative 5).

PLOIECI – BRASOV vs. SIBIU – PITEŞTI

According to the authors of the feasibility study, approximately 42 km between Ploiesti and Campina have a higher cost than the entire Sibiu-Pitesti sector of the A1 motorway, including the mountainous sections.

According to AMC1’s multi-criteria analysis, the value of the Ploiești – Câmpina lot is €3.422 billion including VAT, of which construction and installation costs amount to €2.758 billion excluding VAT (€2.506 billion civil works and €0.252 billion). euros – various expenses and unforeseen expenses).
