Contracts that keep large builders alive

Lia Manoliu or Basarab overpass are projects that should be finalised in the coming months, while Medgidia-Constanta highway is expected for next summer. There are some other long-term projects, such as Transylvania highway or Transalpina rehabilitation, but there are very few projects pending for builders, so that 2011 seems a new year in the red, reads Business Construct.

Next years’ big contracts should come from the same field of infrastructure, where around 300 km of highways and city rings are in the under construction.

The biggest infrastructure project underway is being handled by US Bechtel, which is working on the Campia Turzii-Gilau and Suplacu de Barcau-Bors sections of Transylvania highway, while the second important highway project being carried out, Moara Vlasiei Ploiesti is shared by PA&CO International, Euro Construct Trading ’98, Spedition UMB and Com-Axa domestic firms.
