Bucharest, September

CONTRACTING & ENGINEERING, one of the major players on the geotechnical and
civil construction markets in Romania, has won road infrastructure projects worth
around 3 million euro in 2014.
Four road
infrastructure contracts
Geotechnical works
Locations:
Craiova, Slobozia, Lugoj- Deva
“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.
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
