NEW M4 PROJECT SUMMARY NEWSLETTER

The works of the M4 Project has reached 70% completion this December. Having completed tunnelling last year, the contractor dismantled and removed the TBM shields and their back-up equipment. By the end of the year, the construction of all the station boxes on the line was completed. As it has often been said, the works now being carried out, trackwork, fit-out and systems installation, are what turn this underground system of concrete structures, the tunnels and station boxes, into an actual metro line. Apart from well advanced and visibly advancing surface reinstatement works, these are the works still to be completed before commercial test runs in the first half of 2014. The most spectacular construction work being over, all underground works are progressing according to schedule. It is these we wish to summarize, to give an overview of where the metro construction has reached, in this year-end newsletter.

DBR HAS WON LAWSUITS AGINST BLIKK

First instance the Municipal Court upheld the DBR Metro Project Directorate’s action and ordered the tabloid newspaper of Blikk for corrections with reference of three articles. DBR regrets that it had to turn to court with these issues, but unfortunately in recent weeks the newspaper posted factual errors in almost all of its articles on the metro 4 project despite the fact that DBR provides prompt and open communication on all issues – including negative events as well.
