1 Environmental friendly and cost effective design high speed line

2 Problem and solutions It is expensive to build railways and time consuming. Why is it importent to build new high speed lines? How does construction design and production philosphy reduce cost protect environment give more value for money Disadvatages is posible advantages with new railway design

3 Conventional Railway Embankment 3 meter Volume 100 % Weight 139 ton/m

4 High Speed Railway Embankment 5 meter Volume 200 % Weight 278 ton/m

5 High Speed Railway on bridge Volume 28 % Weight 57 ton/m

6 Embankment or bridge?

7 Embankment or bridge? Embankment Settlement Barrier effect Need repairing resources Slab track is not applicable on embankment Bridge High stability Crossing all obsticle Envrionmental friendly Less CO2 Wildlife crossing

8 Environmental friendly and cost effective EMBANKMENT Construction 20 years Cost 170 bn SEK Savings 0 bn SEK 7000 new jobs BRIDGES Construction 5 years Cost 145 bn SEK Saving 25 bn SEK new jobs

42 Summary High speed lines on prefabricated bridge elements are extremly efficient. Reduction of material fron 139 ton/m to 57 ton/m Less ground preparation work with 98% Fast construction time 500 km = 5 years 12% lower cost compared to embankments Less CO2 prints Less barrier effects for animals and nature Higher safety and security
