Works on reconstruction of Central Embankment in Volgograd performed by STG JSC are in full swing. Andrey Bocharov, Governor of Volgograd Region, visited the construction site with an inspection visit and witnessed it first-hand.

STG JSC started execution of the project in Q3 2018. To date, the builders have already completed dismantling of retaining walls and a two-level open jetty in a 620 m long section. The specialists have started reinforcing and concreting of new retaining walls of the lower tier – they will be made of monolithic reinforced concrete and will be 40 cm higher than the previous ones. To ensure high quality of works in winter, the builders use a number of techniques, including concrete heating, construction
of special shelters as well as using special additives for concrete. These techniques enable creation of right conditions for gain the required strength of concrete.
“The task we set is to construct a modern embankment similar to the one constructed behind the bridge near the stadium. The entire embankment will be completed in 2020. This will be a modern and beautiful facility that meets the highest standards and which could become a decoration of any city in the world”, said Andrey Bocharov, Governor of Volgograd region, about the plans on project execution.
