Over the next few months the construction of a football stadium in Lvov, which is to host the European Football Championships of 2012, will be carried out in the system of a 24-hour period – informed Ukrinform, the Ukrainian news agency.
Speeding up the works is the result of a general contractor’s agreement Azovintex from Mariumpola with the city authorities. According to the new work schedule, the delay of construction in relation to the deadlines set by the UEFA is to be eliminated during the two months before the announced visit of the stadium by the UEFA representatives.
The total cost of building a stadium in Lvov is to be close at 609.5 million hryvnias (about 78 million dollars) and the completion of the work is planned for June 2010.
Engineers of the technical office of the contractor of the national stadium construction have changed the system of constructing ten of the twelve staircases in order to speed up part of the construction works – announced on Sunday the construction manager on behalf of the contractor of the consortium Alpine Construction Poland, Marcin Zareba.
- From Saturday, one of 12 staircases is built at a speed of 2 cm per hour – Zareba said. – We decided to construct staircases in the sliding system, rather than, as originally planned, in a traditional system – explained the construction manager. He added that the sliding system is the technology used in the construction of chimneys and it is a continuous concreting along with simultaneous lifting of formworks (a temporary form used to give shape of the concrete mass) for the total and target height of the staircase – about 40 m.
The city authorities have devoted 173.7 millions of hryvnias for the preparation of the Charkow region for the EURO 2012.
The largest part of these funds will be spent on the modernization of a stadium and the runway of the Charkow airport.
100 millions of gryvnias devoted to the reconstruction of Metallist stadium, 56.7 millions of hryvnias for the reconstruction of the runaway of the International Airport in Charkow and 17 millions of hryvnias for the reconstruction of roads.
The authorities also freed from the duty goods and commodities (total 10 names), which are not produced in Ukraine and which were not imported to the country and were used as an equipment for the Metallist stadium.
