| Bored piles execution and retention systems |
OCTAGON is performing the following works for the
construction of section II- Coslariu- Sighisoara: drilling of bored piles D 1.000, anchorages, stone columns,
sheet pile installation and gunite for tunnels and bridge.
OCTAGON also has four other ongoing infrastructure
projects. OCTAGON
is geotechnical construction
contractor at one of the most important infrastructure projects in Bucharest: ”The
underground road passage from Piata Presei”, where the
company is building diaphragm walls. The passage will have a total length of 550
meters and two exits. One of the exits will lead to Kiseleff Road and the
second one will lead to Marasti Blvd.,
allow crossing the area on any direction and subsequently connect public
ground transport, the railway line and the bus lines, with the station of the
future metro line 6. The purpose of the passage is to streamline the traffic in
one of the most crowded areas of the capital.

Another
important project under construction, within which OCTAGON is working, is
Lugoj- Deva Highway. The company is building bored piles for sections A, D and E, sector 2. The highway will
stretch over 100 km on delivery. Sector
2 will be 28 km long.
OCTAGON
is performing foundation works:
bored piles and sheet piles at the project “Passage over the rail road km 5 +
343” in Craiova.

The
fourth project started this year by OCTAGON is
“Functional rehabilitation of Revolutiei Square from Slobozia”. The
company is part of ACM4- Romprest- TIAB- OCTAGON Consortium and is performing geotechnical works: metal sheet piles
and drilling for dewatering systems, within a parking lot project.
“Even
if infrastructure has not been a priority for public investments this year and
the market is not going through a dynamic period, we have four new ongoing
projects and we are continuing works at the rehabilitation of Brasov- Simeria
railroad, a project started in 2012. But the perspectives
for infrastructure development are
positive. After four years of slowdown, the infrastructure will inevitably
become the engine of the construction
market development.” said Mr. Alexandros
Ignatiadis, co-founder and shareholder of OCTAGON CONTRACTING &
ENGINEERING.
