HIDROINŽENJERING PLC – ongoing projects BENI SLIMANE DAM IN ALGERIA n 2012, Energoprojekt Hidroinženjering I signed a contract with the Algerian ANBT (National Agency for Dams and Transfers) to develop a detailed project for the implementation of the Beni Slimane Dam, to carry out the expert supervision over the construction and to provide technical assistance during the works. The realization of the contract started immediately after its signing. The total value of the contract with its annexes amounts to approximately EUR 4.1 million. The main contractor is the local Algerian company Hydro-Technique, and one of the subcontractors engaged in the construction work was the Belgrade-based company Hidrotehnika-Hidroenergetika. The Beni Slimane Dam is located in Algeria, in the Medea wilayah (one of the 48 administrative regions in Algeria) on the Mellah River about 7 km south of the town Beni Slimane. The dam aims to collect and regulate the inflows from the Mellah River, and the accumulated water will be used for irrigation. The entire Beni Slimane dam system involves the construction of several structures: a rock-fill dam, a water intake tower with an access footbridge, a grouting and derivation gallery, a spillway facility for the evacuation with the expected average annual inflow of The total amount of the material used for the of large amounts of water, a control plant, a 8,2 million m3 of water. dam body is about 2 million m3. bottom outlet valve and the access roads.

In the Russian Federation, the completion of the first phase (Back of the House) of the contracted work on the Hyatt Regency project in Rostov-on-Don is underway. We are negotiating with the same Investor to contract a second phase of the project (Front of the House). In December 2019, we signed a significant contract involving the first stage of reconstruction of Syktyvkar Republic stadium, Komi Republic. The total value of the contracted works amounts to EUR 35 million and the deadline for realization is 12 months. In the territory of Kazakhstan, the most significant jobs involve designing. Visokogrdnja Plc possesses the licences needed for the designing work in Kazakhstan. Through designing work, we acquire the execution of new jobs. The project for Narhoz University in Alma Ata is currently in the final stage of realization. Are you satisfied with the pace of realization of current projects? Aside from the implementation of the Chinese Cultural Center project, significantly delayed due to problems with the project documentation and the nomination of subcontractors by the Investors, the realization of other projects runs in line with the planned dynamics of works execution.
