A Description Of Project – UK site

1.0 Location:

This part of the “Terminal 2014” project in the UK is located on the access road to the main UK Terminal, served by junction 11a from the M20 motorway and is adjacent to the existing freight and passenger routes to the tolls and access to the main site for customers.

2.0 Purpose and Context

Eurotunnel has decided to re-organize and modernise the transport system to improve the flow of trucks through the tunnel running under the English channel via the freight shuttles. The primary objective for Eurotunnel is to be able to ensure the departure of 8 Shuttles per hour instead of the current 4, whilst continuing to offer the customer a transfer time of 90 minutes of motorway to motorway.

Additional freight lanes will be constructed between the Access Road and the A20 further north. Also the location of the Freight Check-in will be relocated, and an area for referrals will be constructed. This area will include a new Freight Check-in building, and parking for HGVs and staff cars. A reject route on to the A20 will be provided.

2 Tourist lanes will pass alongside the freight lanes towards the existing Check-in plaza. The Freight and Tourist Routes will be physically separated from one another between new and existing Check-in lanes.

The Terminal 2014 project is intended to:-

— Improve the flow of the freight traffic by removing a large volume from the M20 motorway queues during heavy traffic, thereby helping to resolve the recurring problem of traffic jams on the access road during peak periods

— Provide additional capacity for trucks on the access road, thereby Eurotunnel shall minimise the need for ‘operation stack’ on the M20 involving vehicles requiring access to the check-in tolls.

— Improve the Freight offering to our customers with the creation of a new toll plaza.

— Anticipate the deployment of a ‘Fast lane’ type service offering to our freight customers which may be implemented in the future. The additional freight lanes to be constructed between the access road will provide a total capacity of approx 190 HGVs pre Check-in.

This project is committed to the following operational requirements:

The project must be realized without impacting the business of Eurotunnel on the site:

3.0 Allotment:

The works contracts shall be let according to the following lots:
