On 4 March 2015, the KIVI Maintenance Section organised the lecture 'DBFM in the second Coentunnel'. The turnout was great. Over 50 participants listened to the speakers' presentations. Good to mention here that almost half of the participants were introducers. And thus found their way to KIVI. Thanks to the broad scope of the programme, there was plenty of time to get to know each other better.

The presentations were given by Robert Jan Feijen and Edwin Timmer of the Coentunnel Company and Oxand, respectively. Both gentlemen had a fascinating story peppered with anecdotes and a practical approach. You can view both presentations below.

The event ended with a word of thanks for the speakers after which many participants took the opportunity to have a drink and a bite together.

For the Maintenance Department, this was a great example of how maintenance can bring together the various disciplines: infrastructure, tunnel technology, measurement systems, preventive and corrective maintenance and design.

Description

DBFM (Design Build, Finance and Maintain) and life cycle maintenance in the Second Coentunnel.

The government (and probably other large institutions) are increasingly starting to work with DBFM contracts. How does this work in practice? The Maintenance Department would like to elaborate on this with you.

On 16 May 2013, Minister Schultz van Haegen officially opened the Second Coentunnel. The Coentunnel had been a major bottleneck with many traffic jams for years. This tunnel tackles one of the most persistent traffic jams. Simultaneously with the opening, the western ring road, the A5, was also opened so that traffic can avoid the busy Badhoevedorp junction.

This project, led by the Coentunnel Company, is a special project given its scale and complexity. In a PPP construction (Public Private Partnership), the company worked together with Rijkswaterstaat and various market parties. The project was carried out according to the DBFM assignment: Design-Built-Finance-Maintain. Here, Coentunnel Company is responsible for all aspects in the entire life cycle of the Second Coentunnel for the next 23 years.

An important part of the DBFM process of the Coentunnel is the Performance Measurement System (PMS). After awarding the contract to the Coentunnel Company, the PMS was developed during the project phase. The PMS serves as the basis for the maintenance concept and provided insight into the expected costs related to management and maintenance for the next 23 years.

After completion in 2013, the operation phase entered. The commissioning marked the "going live" of the PMS and the start of the management phase with preventive and corrective maintenance.
