| Bouygues Construction to rebuild a shopping centre in Prague Bouygues Bâtiment International, a subsidiary of France-based Bouygues Construction, has begun works to rebuild and extend the Černý Most shopping centre in Prague, Czech Republic. Worth a total of €73 million, this is the second largest project Bouygues Construction has ever carried out in the country. The contract was signed between VCES (the local subsidiary of Bouygues Bâtiment International) and Unibail-Rodamco. It includes refurbishing the existing mall and constructing a further 40,000 m² of space devoted to shops, restaurants, cinemas, etc. The floor area will increase by half, which will make it possible to house three times more businesses. The works will be carried out in a constrained environment, as the shopping mall will remain open seven days a week during the entire construction period. To avoid disturbing customers, the Bouygues Bâtiment International teams will enforce a rigid protocol whereby the renovation of the existing buildings is carried out at night, while the construction of new zones, during the day, will meticulously follow a particular rigorous organisation. The project will last 18 months. Site works got under way this summer, and will be completed in the spring of 2013. More than 500 people will be working on the site in peak periods. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
