Strabag CEO Dr Hans Peter Haselsteiner.
Austrian contractor Strabag has secured a €254 million contract from Poland's General Directorate for National Roads & Highways (GDDKiA) to construct a 40km section of S8 expressway.
The section of road runs between the villages of Walichnowy and Sieradz Południe in central Poland. Work is scheduled to begin this month, with completion set for 2014.
Strabag said that, in addition to the construction of the four-lane expressway using concrete technology, a 19km section of the road between Walichnowy and Złoczew would include construction of 16 bridges and a junction with busy National Road 45.
"The extremely difficult geological conditions require the subsoil to be strengthened with a total of 60,000m of piles and 700,000m³ of geotextiles," Strabag said,
The second section between Złoczew and Sieradz Południe is 19.6km long and will be constructed as a two-lane road, also using concrete technology. The order further includes the construction of 18 bridges, the conversion of local and municipal roads, as well as the construction of the Dąbrowa Wielka rest area, including technical infrastructure.
Strabag's Polish subsidiaries Herman Kirchner Polska, Strabag W Polsce and Heilit & Woerner Budowlana will carry out the contract.
