Milan-headquartered Salini Impregilo has won a € 260 million contract for the construction of the civil works for the Cetin main hydroelectric plant on the Botan river in the southeastern part of Turkey.
The contract involves the construction of a rock-fill dam with an asphalt core, 145 metres in height, with a volume of 11.5 million m3, intake works, spillway and open-air power plant for an installed power of 400 MW and 1100GWh/year.
Salini Impregilo won the contract with an 85% share in joint venture with the local company NTF.
Earlier this month the Group also signed a contract to build the Dugway Storage Tunnel in Cleveland, Ohio, worth $153 million (€123 million) for the government agency Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District.
The Dugway Storage Tunnel is 4.5 km long, with a diameter of 8 metres and invloves the construction of 6 shafts of varying diameters and depths, connections between the tunnel and the shafts and a series of concrete structures for the collection and transporting of wastewater and rainwater. The project is part of a broader plan for the collection, storage and treatment of waters with the objective of reducing the level of environmental pollution in Lake Erie.
