Chinese contractor 5544 Sinohydro is to start a road construction project in Moldova worth €48 million. It is likely to be the first of several Chinese companies to carry out work in the country.
Construction firm Hutama Karya (HK) of Indonesia says it will next year begin to build the US $ 34.3 billion (IDR 330trn) 2,700km long Trans-Sumatra toll road. Phase 1 of the project will be carried out by the company and a subsidiary, Jalan Tol Hutama Karya, will be set up to work on the project, said Ari Widiyantoro, corporate secretary of HK.
Tunnelling equipment from Chinese firm XCMG has played an important role in a project in Montenegro. The work was carried out by contractor CCCC Tunnel Engineering Company and involved the excavation of the Jabuka Tunnel Works. This link forms part of the North-South Expressway of Montenegro and was completed on schedule recently. The link is of note as it is the first-ever expressway in Montenegro. Due to the country’s hills, a stretch of tunnel was a necessity.
