The RUB1.6bn (£35m) contract is for the preparation of a complete excavation pit for one of Russia's leading real estate development, construction and building materials companies.
Keller will be responsible for the construction of approximately 17,000m2 of diaphragm wall to provide excavation support, together with the associated strutting, earthworks, dewatering and foundation slab. Support for the project will come from Poland, where Keller has completed a number of excavation pits.
"This award comes on the back of several smaller contacts in Russia completed by Keller in recent years, including the foundations for the ice rink in Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics,” said Keller chief executive Justin Atkinson. “It is encouraging to see our business gaining traction in this growing market."
The work in Moscow is part of the development of a new 46,000m2 residential complex located in the centre of the city. The development will comprise several multi-storey buildings constructed above shared, two-level underground parking for some 1,800 cars.
Work is expected to commence shortly and to complete in spring 2014.
