Project Name:

Preliminary Ground Investigation and Site Characterization of Baladjari & Gandja, and Topographic Survey of the Plots of Land of Biladjari and Gandja Workshops.

Start date (month/year):

June 2016

Completion date (month/year):

October 2016

Narrative description of Project:

The Consultant will perform the assignments in the plots of land defined in the following figures. These plots of lands are placed within the existing Maintenance Workshops Facilities of Baladjari and Gandja. The extension of the plot where Baladjari future workshops will be located is of about 23000 m2. It covers part of the existing facilities. In this area, there are old buildings and structures which may have to be demolished.

For Baladjary the average level of the plot where the new workshops will be located is approximately 36.60 m over the sea, but level differences of about 3.51 m exist. The future workshops of Baladjari railway locomotives must be built on a horizontal plane, so earth moving works (about 46000 m3) are expected.

For Gandja the average level of the plot where the new workshops will be located is approximately 346 m over the sea. Existing facilities are placed on a horizontal plot. The planned earthworks to be completed are still quite significant; they will be mainly due to site excavations for new underground networks or new building foundations.

The Preparation of an Environmental Assessment and Environmental Management Plan of Baku-Shamakhi road

Start date (month/year):

October 2011

Completion date (month/year):

December 2012

Narrative description of Project:

The Ministry of Transport in Azerbaijan is considering the possibility of upgrading the entire length of Baku-Shamakhi road to four lanes. Currently, only the first 13.3 km are four lanes and the subsequent section until km 45 is presently being widened to four lanes. Besides, the whole length of the existing carriageway of the Baku to Shamakhi road is reconstructed under the Highway 2 Project financed by the World Bank. For the purposes of environmental assessment, the project has been assigned an environmental category A (World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.01 ‘Environmental Assessment’). The Regional Environmental Review and Environmental Management Framework have been prepared for the entire road, and Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Plan has been developed for the first 30 km section of the road (km 15 to 45). Presently, the AzerRoadService would like to engage consultancy services for preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Plan for the remaining section of the road from km 45 to 105. Description of actual services provided by our staff within the assignment: This section of the highway has been classified as a Category A project for environmental assessment purposes under the Bank’s OP/BP 4.01 Environmental Assessment. An environmental assessment and management plan should therefore be prepared for this itinerary, and comments should be sought from stakeholders and incorporated in the final report.The our firm should be responsible for preparing an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that addresses the environmental impacts and management issues associated with the construction of the section of road and the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that should be included in the EIA report.
