Carbon emissions from district heating plants are a major source of air pollution. Measures to reduce them have, in addition to the ecological dimension, a positive impact on energy efficiency.

The project “Rehabilitation of the urban heating system in the Municipality of Oradea for the period 2009-2028 in order to comply with environmental legislation and increase energy efficiency” aims to reduce the negative impact of polluting emissions and minimize the climate effects caused by the centralized electricity supply system, in order to improve air quality and the health of the population and also to align with EU regulations in the field.

The project has a total value of 77,772,000 Euros and is co-financed by the Sectoral Operational Program ENVIRONMENT – Priority Axis 2, Major Intervention Area 1.
In order to achieve the general objective, the following are specifically aimed at: reducing air pollution by the district heating system, through BAT – best available technologies, introducing energy efficiency measurements, in order to minimize energy losses and ensuring affordable tariffs for the supply of thermal energy, for all categories of the population.

RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

Consultancy in the field of execution management and for the verification of the execution of construction and installation works, related to the objective of “Rehabilitation of the Brasov-Simeria railway line, component of the Pan European Corridor IV to ensure the circulation of trains at a speed of 160 km/h”, on the Coslariu-Simeria section – Lot 1

We know very well how important transport infrastructure is, an indispensable facility for modern life and we recognize its value for society and communities. Therefore, through the development projects of integrated transport systems, KONSENT establishes connections between people and places and facilitates economic exchanges. At the same time, we seek to respond to all functional, social and economic requirements by integrating our solutions harmoniously into the natural environment.

Through the contract “Consultancy in the field of execution management and for the verification of the execution of construction and installation works on the Coslariu-Simeria section – Lot 1”, we carry out planning, consultancy, technical assistance and management activities in the development of the transport infrastructure of Alba and Hunedoara counties. The rehabilitation of the section will increase the degree of safety and comfort and will reduce train travel time as well as the transport time of goods.

Within the framework of this project, consolidation and rehabilitation works of bridges and footbridges are carried out, new bridges are built, electrification and energy supply works are carried out, as well as works related to the telecommunications network. Also, execution works are carried out for signaling installations and the platforms are rehabilitated. At the same time, infrastructure development works for people with disabilities are carried out.

The objective of the project is to modernize 74.43 km of railway on the mentioned section, so that passenger trains can travel at a maximum speed of 160 km/h, and freight trains at a maximum speed of 120 km/h. Thus, the aim is to meet the standards of the European Agreement on major international combined transport lines and related facilities.

The value of the rehabilitation project on the Coslariu – Simeria section exceeds 300 million Euros, the project being co-financed by the European Commission through the Transport Sectoral Operational Programme 2007-2013. 85% of the funds are provided by the European Commission through the Cohesion Fund – non-reimbursable funds – and the remaining 15% come from the state budget.

The project is part of Priority Axis no. 1 “Modernization and development of the TEN-T Priority Axes with the aim of developing a sustainable transport system and its integration into the EU transport networks”, Major intervention area 1.2 “Modernization and development of the railway infrastructure along the TEN-T Priority Axis 22”.

Integrated waste management system in Hunedoara County

>>  Supervision

PROJECTS THAT GIVE SHAPE TO THE VISION.
RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

We believe that strategic waste recovery initiatives must aim to compensate for the shortage of resources and at the same time limit the impact on the environment. That is why KONSENT provides solutions for supervising works in projects that aim to reduce waste right at the source. At the same time, we aim to maximize the subsequent recycling capacity, optimize collection costs and limit losses.

Through the contract Supervision of construction works within the project “Integrated waste management system in Hunedoara County” we provide the necessary support in the development of the ecological waste management infrastructure and support the decommissioning process of collection centers that do not comply with European ecological standards.

The project includes several expansion and modernization works. Thus, it is foreseen to create a waste management center in Barcea Mare, which will include a central non-hazardous waste landfill in accordance with EU standards, a waste sorting station, a mechanical-biological treatment station, a sewage treatment station, as well as administrative buildings. The project also includes the construction of a sorting station in Petrosani and the modernization of the existing sorting stations in Brad and Vulcan. It is also foreseen to close the existing non-compliant landfills in Aninoasa, Uroi – Rapoltu Mare, Hateg, Petrila, Lupeni, Calan, Hunedoara municipality, Orastie and Deva.

The objective of this project is to develop a sustainable waste management system, in accordance with European standards, so as to meet the obligations assumed by the Accession Treaty. At the same time, by modernizing the waste management system and reducing the harmful effects on the environment, the quality of life for the entire population of Hunedoara County, approximately 458 thousand inhabitants, will be improved.

The value of the project exceeds 57 million Euros, 43 million Euros coming from non-reimbursable European funds, and the difference is ensured by investments from the state budget, the budget of the Hunedoara County Council and from local budgets. The project is co-financed by the Sectoral Operational Program Environment 2007-2013, Priority Axis 2, Intervention Area 1 – “Development of integrated waste management systems and expansion of waste management infrastructure”.
