BLOM SIGNS TWO CONTRACTS TOTALLING €1.5MILL TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITHIN URBAN HEATING INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Blom Romania S.R.L, the Romanian subsidiary of Blom ASA, has been awarded two new contracts with Valcea County Council and Iasi City Town to provide technical assistance for urban heating infrastructure projects. The expected value of these agreements is approximately €1.5mill and both projects will commence in autumn 2011.

Blom are to provide technical assistance and supervision for the implementation of projects relating to the rehabilitation of urban heating systems, in compliance with European expectations and legislation. Therefore, given the complexity of such investment, project implementation will benefit from support contributed by Blom in the organization of public procurement, the supervision of project execution and the assistance for developing and implementing public awareness to the benefits of the project.

The overall objective of such EU funded projects is to improve and ensure the quality of life in urban areas, reflected in the quality of life and the population’s health.

This venture is expected to last for over 20 months and working alongside Blom as part of the winning consortium are Ramboll Romania, Rutin Consulting and BDO Audit.

Blom continues to define itself as a key player in the environmental market space and the recently awarded contracts in Valcea and Iasi and, in particular, the management projects in Sibiu and Oradea are testament to this.
