We participated in the preparation of the feasibility study for the three railway lines included in the Station Investment Programme. As part of this project, the Polish State Railways plans to modernise 150 railway stations by 2030.

This is the second edition of the Station Investment Programme, in which at least 150 facilities will be renovated. In the first one, which ran from 2016 to 2023, the PKP modernised nearly two hundred. As a result, the stations will become more modern, the comfort and safety of travellers will improve and, most importantly, accessibility for people with reduced mobility will be improved.

We participated in the preparation of feasibility studies for the three railway lines included in the project. We did the environmental impact analysis and the impact on climate and climate change adaptation. As part of this work, a catalogue of mitigation measures was produced. We also had in mind the adaptation of these stations for people with disabilities. The project was prepared together with a team of architects and economists from PWC.

At the end of September we are at the REMEDy 2023 conference!

We would like to invite you on behalf of the organisers. REMEDy is a prestigious event dedicated to site remediation and related water and ground investigations. The conference will feature Anita Kuliś from Sotis Advisors, who will give a presentation Environmental baseline for Nuclear Power Plants and SMRs – similarities, differences and challenges. Register!

The REMEDY 2023 Conference boasts a lineup of exceptional sessions led by industry experts:
– Nuclear Baseline Session: Explore the latest trends and innovations in nuclear site investigation and remediation.
– PFAS Session: Dive deep into the challenges and solutions related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the environment.
– Technical Session: Gain insights into cutting-edge techniques and methodologies for effective site investigation and remediation.
Workshop by George Ivey: Don’t miss this exclusive workshop by George Ivey from IVEY SOL on “Hydro-Geo-Chemistry Made Easy For Site Investigation and Remediation.”

And also listen to a lecture by Anita Kuliś of Sotis Advisors Environmental baseline for Nuclear Power Plants and SMRs – similarities, differences and challenges, during which Anita will, among other things, outline the key challenges for large and small-scale nuclear power projects, discuss issues related to the delimitation of necessary environmental studies, and touch on the interdependence of siting and environmental studies.

“Challenges and potential of SMRs in the energy transition” is the third article in the #AtomInAction series, which we write together with energy experts from Deloitte. Together, we take a closer look at the topic of the atom from the perspective of technology, application and operational safety.

This time, a few words about small modular reactors (SMRs), which have been causing a lot of excitement in the nuclear power community recently. In an article as part of the #AtomInAction series, the authors write about, among other things, what an SMR reactor is, what types of SMR reactors there are, how SMR reactors find their way into the Polish energy system, new business models for investing in power plants based on SMR reactors

“SMR reactors promise many benefits for those who choose to build and operate them. They also enjoy tremendous political support. However, as with many innovative solutions, they have yet to prove their merits in practice in order to become an integral part of a decarbonised energy sector covering heat and electricity needs in a reliable and at the same time climate-friendly manner” – Przemysław Żydak, board member/co-owner of Sotis Advisors.
