Australian Multinational Company SMEC has become a winner company and it will prepare a project for access road and railway to Anaklia Deep Sea port, according to Georgia’s Roads Department.

As the Roads Department said in a statement, four companies took part in the competition and from them “the best offer (both technically and financially) was made by SMEC.

“SMEC’s origins date back to the iconic Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme in 1949. SMEC and Surbana Jurong Group's partnership provides a talent pool of 14,500 people working across a network of more than 130 offices in 40+ countries throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa, the UK, Middle East and the Americas. Between 1949 and 1974 the Snowy Mountains Authority (SMA) undertook a massive hydro-electric and irrigation project. The project brought together over 100,000 workers from 30 countries who constructed 16 major dams, seven power stations, one pumping station, 145 km of tunnels, 80 km of aqueducts and 2,000 km of roads. Annual turnover of the company is an average of 350-360 million dollars.

SMEC has to prepare a project for access road and railway to Anaklia Deep Sea port during 7 months.

The contractual cost of the project is 7 million GEL.  

The construction of the access road and railway to Anaklia Deep Sea port will be completed before operating of the Anaklia Deep Sea port,” Georgia’s Roads Department said.
