- Contract value: €153 million
- Completion: end of 2024
Strabag, the European-based construction technology group, has won a large motorway construction contract in Poland. The group’s Polish subsidiary was awarded the € 153 million design-and-build contract by the country’s General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA). The 18.75 km section of the A2 between Siedlce West and Malinowiec is to be completed by the end of 2024.
'We are pleased to have been awarded another important section of Poland’s transportation infrastructure network. Currently we are working on twelve expressway and motorway sections in Poland with a total length of more than 161 km,” says Thomas Birtel, CEO of Strabag SE.
Dual carriageway along new route
The contract calls for a dual carriageway with two lanes in each direction to be built along a completely new route. Space for a possible third lane is already covered in the design. The contract also includes the Siedlce South exit, two rest areas and a motorway service station.

The second is that, if these drivers aren’t successful in delivering the required level of emission reductions, we’re going to have increasingly erratic weather, which can also negatively affect the economy.

Fugro’s Vulnerability Assessment informs Port of San Francisco’s safe and sustainable Future
Fugro has completed a geotechnical site characterisation, earthquake hazard and geotechnical vulnerability assessment for the Port of San Francisco’s multi-year, multi-billion dollar Waterfront Resilience Program. The work was conducted over a period of 3 years as part of a multi-hazard risk assessment (MHRA) to identify immediate and long-term hazards, such as those associated with earthquakes, flooding and sea-level rise. As the port’s lead geotechnical engineer for future programme phases, Fugro will use the MHRA inputs to develop and design optimal retrofit solutions for the port’s ageing seawall.
