Warbud goes to sea

The company is working on the basic port infrastructure for the simultaneous handling of three roll-on roll-off ships, ferries and passenger ships.

Together with Vinci Construction Grands Projects, Warbud signed a zł.49 million contract with the management of the Port of Gdańsk and the Gdańsk gmina to extend the seashore and road infrastructure of the port terminal at Westerplatte.

The investment is connected with the modernization of Nabrzeże Obrońców Westerplatte (Shore of Westerplatte Defenders), providing two ship posts, and expanding the maneuver square. The port hopes that the project will re-energize the economic area in the eastern part of the port. The works are scheduled for completion by October 2007.

"Region Północ's contracts are becoming more connected with the marine economy, which is the main driver for investment," said Eugeniusz Moczydłowski, the head of Warbud Region Północ.

The Westerplatte port terminal is the largest contract signed by Warbud Region Północ in the Tri-city. According to Moczydłowski, Region Północ is now realizing contracts whose total value reaches zł.185 million, zł.170 million of which is related solely to the Tri-city region.

Recently Warbud, won three awards in the Construction of the Year competition organized by the Polish Association of Engineers and Construction Technicians, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Transport and the General Office of Building Control. Warbud received two Construction of the Year titles in the categories of housing construction (for the Marina Mokotów project) and commercial construction (for the Plaza Poznań).
