Hill International to Support the Government of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for the Construction of the Gradsko – Interchange Drenovo Road Section

PHILADELPHIA and ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 08, 2017 -- Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced today that its joint venture with Egis International in lead has been awarded a contract from the Government of the Republic of Macedonia to provide construction supervision services for the Gradsko – Interchange Drenovo section of road Corridor X-d. The 50 month (26 months of construction and 24 months of DNP) contract has an estimated value to the joint venture of approximately Euro 3.57 million (USD 4.19 million), of which Hill’s fees will be an estimated Euro 1.3 million (USD 1.5 million). 

The project will construct a new Expressway from Gradsko to Interchange Drenovo with total length of 15.5 km. Work includes construction of 5 new viaducts with lengths from 70 m to 200 m, 2 interchanges, 4 underpasses, 4 overpasses, several box and pipe culverts, dewatering and posting of traffic signs and road marking. The project must be delivered within clear time, budget and quality constraints.

“FYR of Macedonia was among the first countries in the Western Balkans to receive candidate country status for EU accession, attracting large investments from the EU and its banks. The immediate effect was much-needed political transformation and reform,” explained Panagiotis Methenitis, VP and Managing Director for Balkans. “Hill is supporting the government’s efforts in lifting the country’s infrastructure to European standards based on our regional experience with other new EU Member States like Romania, Croatia and Bulgaria. We expect this new contract to be followed by others in near future, cementing Hill’s position as market leader in the country as well as in the region.”
