Vienna, 11 September 2009 STRABAG succeeds at entering the market in Belarus.

In this regard the construction firm is building a wastewater treatment plant in the city of Brest near the Polish border. The order totals € 70 million. In the first phase the infrastructure for sludge decomposition will be built, which is to process 370,000 m³ of sewage sludge per year. Afterward, the construction of a waste-sorting facility for 100,000 tonnes of household waste per year will ensue.

The strategy of advancing business in markets outside of Europe is also producing results: STRABAG Oman will build the Al Amarat Heights Dam in Wadi Adai, Oman. The work commenced in the summer of 2009 and is to span a period of 28 months. The order is worth € 53 million (USD 75 million) and will be reflected in STRABAG’s order books as of the third quarter of 2009.

With this project STRABAG has managed to continue a successful series of dam-building projects in Oman. The Al Amarat Heights Dam is one of six dams built at strategic points in Wadi Adai in order to protect the surrounding region from flooding.

In August STRABAG International won the bid to refurbish the Los 2 Ushirombo-Lusahunga, which is 110 km of road between Isaka and Lusahunga in Tanzania. Construction for the € 61 million project has already begun and is to be completed by July of 2012.
