Supervision of Rehabilitation Works on R33 Hincesti-Lapusna – M1 Road

The road network in the Republic of Moldova has more than 5,800 km of National Roads, where 50% are in poor condition and in need of rehabilitation. In order to alleviate this situation, the Government sought assistance from multilateral development organisations, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), towards the cost of the Moldova Roads Sector Program, aimed at investing in the modernization of transport and road infrastructure.

In this context, representatives from IRD Engineering and the Moldovan State Roads Administration signed a contract for the provision of engineering services during the rehabilitation of the road R33 Section Hincesti-Lapusna-M1.

This 37-km-long road is located in the centre-western part of the country, representing an important link that connects Hincesti with neighbouring minor centres to the Leuseni-Albita customs terminal on the Romanian border, through the national road M1 (or European E581).

A team of international and local engineers from IRD Engineering carry out the duties of “the Engineer” according to FIDIC Conditions of Contract (MDB Harmonised Edition 2010), including the management of any variations and claims occurring during the implementation of the project.
