Major Contract Award in Russia
Keller Group plc ("Keller" or "the Group"), the international
ground engineering specialist, announces that it has been awarded
its largest contract to date in Russia. Worth approximately RUB
1.6bn (GBP35m), the contract is for the preparation of a complete
excavation pit for one of Russia's leading real estate development,
construction and building materials companies.
The contract is part of the development of a new 46,000 m(2)
residential complex located in central Moscow. The development will
comprise several multi-storey buildings constructed above shared,
two-level underground parking for some 1,800 cars.
Keller will be responsible for the construction of approximately
17,000 m(2) of diaphragm wall to provide excavation support,
together with the associated strutting, earthworks, dewatering and
foundation slab. Support for the project will come from Poland,
where Keller has completed a number of excavation pits and
developed significant major project expertise.
Work is expected to commence shortly and to complete in spring
2014.
Justin Atkinson, Keller Chief Executive, commented:
"This award comes on the back of several smaller contacts in
Russia completed by Keller in recent years, including the
foundations for the ice rink in Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
It is encouraging to see our business gaining traction in this
growing market."
"The construction of complete excavation pits is a good example
of how we continue to broaden the range of services we offer to
meet our customers' total foundation requirements. This contract
win also illustrates the success of our strategic initiative to
increase our exposure to major projects."
