Gotthard axis: cost development

Credit situation NEAT

In the first years, NEAT was knowingly underfinanced.

On 16.9.2008, Parliament authorized the new NEAT global credit.

For the first time in its history, NEAT is fully financed (12 billion €)!

Experts

The operator is not the constructor

The organizational separation has

advantages: 1) cost cutting through contradictory interests

constructor --> low investment costsoperator --> high investment costs

(lower costs for renewal and maintenance)2) In case of problems, the autority can take a decision.

inconveniences: 1) supplementary interfaces 2) risk that project elements are „forgotten“

Important:

Strong and „in time“ collaboration between constructor and operator

Management requires:

Objective agreement on project requirements

Procedure referential bases

Control periodical comparisons between reality and forecasts Instruments modification reports, risk management,

reports, controls, etc.

Levels of project supervision

Conclusion

• Ensured financing = determining factor

• Organization model operator < > constructor

• Supervision functions require clear repartition of roles

• Establishing good control system

• Foreseeing costs for adaptation to technological progress

The Alps - not only an obstacle!
