3 The focus of research Benefits from railway benchmarking Investigations of construction costs of new HSL Lower costs for relevant units through construction/rail contracts Avoidance of cost overruns Investigations of industry and suppliers at European HSL construction market Purchaising qualitative railway materials for lower prices Economy-of-scale effect

4 Previous studies UIC report The Cost of Railway Infrastructure (2000) Steer Davies Gleave e High speed rail: international national comparison (2004) Trafikstyrelsen Udenlanske baner Sammenligning af anægspriser (2009) DBRI The repetition effect in building and construction works (2010) Bent Flyvbjerg reports related to cost overruns in Megaprojects

5 Methods Theoretical part Top-down benchmarking 1. Investigation of HSL in Europe similar to The New Line Copenhagen-Ringsted 2. Comparison of total costs 3. Distribution by cost disciplines 4. Comparison of unit costs per relevant disciplines Practical part Contact establishment with Infrastructures Managers and Responsible Agencies 1. Official meetings Information sharing 2. Site visits Experience sharing 3. Questionnaire

6 Benchmarking of HSL projects Number of projects Observed projects 22 projects in 9 countries HSL and conventional railways Length km Traffic, # tracks Mixed and passenger, single and double Designed speed Physical requirements Overall budget km/h Flat terrain, allocation along the motorways, small amount of complex structures (tunnels) ,200 M EUR Value per km M EUR/km Construction period

9 Contractors National contractors are preferable Language Local legislations World known companies in Railway Technology Balfour Beatty (UK) Alstom (France) Ansaldo STS S.p.A. (Italy) We are looking for new international companies to come to the national market International market survey competent companies Contact establishment and incentives Competition between companies lower prices

11 Unit costs Some disciplines are not comparable (e.g. Acquisition of Land) Relevant unit costs were compared (e.g. bridges, earth movement, administration) Unit costs per track km, M EUR Unit cost civil works/km, M EUR 6,00 5,00 4,00 3,00 2,00 1,00 0,00 4,79 3,99 1,53 1,49 A B C D 14,00 12,00 10,00 8,00 6, ,00 2,00 0,00 12,12 7,95 6,45 5,87 1,88 A B C D J

12 Preliminary conclusions Current PhD research will bring positive delivery to the New Line Copenhagen-Ringsted project Average costs for construction of new HSL are 27 M EUR Copenhagen- Ringsted is below Differences in cost distribution by main disciplines are dependent on project s complexity Benchmarking results and documentation will be useful for planning and construction of new HSL in the future Further analysis of unit costs and life cycle costs
