Three villages, one system - 18 kilometres of sewerage network to be built in Silajdság

Vármező (Buciumi) is located in Szilágy County, south of Zilah, between Meszesszentgyörgy and Nagyrajtolc. During the development of the village's sewerage and drinking water network (project: SCN1124659), the employees of SZABADICS Romania S.R.L. employees must build a complete sewerage network, including trunk lines and residential connections, with a total length of almost 18 kilometres.

The "Construction of sewerage networks, connections and outfalls in the municipality of Buciumi, Silesian County" is also part of the Anghel Saligny National Investment Programme and can be carried out by the Romanian Division of Szabadics. A total of 21 kilometres of drinking water and sewerage network will be constructed, connecting all houses in the municipalities of Bogdana, Buciumi and Bodia to the existing sewerage network in Agrij. The project, with a total net value of RON 15 million, is nearing completion.

At least three thousand lives will be made easier

Orban Cristian, project manager of SZABADICS Romania S.R.L., helped us to get information about the project details. As he told us:

"90% of the development has been completed, representing the construction of approximately 18.8 kilometres of backbone, 355 drinking water connections, 474 wastewater connection points and 400 treatment wells."

The work is made more difficult by the fact that the actual situation often differs from the planned conditions: the most memorable Christian Felföldi, the company's managing director, mentioned the section between Kásapatak and Vármező, where the reconstruction works of the DJ108A road and the Szabadics Romania S.R.L. works were going on in parallel, with the planned retaining walls on the ridge line track, and the need for crossing the riverbed and redesigning the track due to track modifications. The route of the backbone planned for the greenfield site was subject to the construction of a track structure and asphalt road during the road rehabilitation works, and therefore required more soil compaction than planned to take account of the heavier loads, requiring more attention than average.

From the design to the choice of materials and the actual construction, many factors need to be taken into account to ensure the success of the project.

Christian Felföldi said:

,,one of our main goals is to provide a high quality service in every project we undertake, and we always strive to improve our operational performance and customer satisfaction."

He stressed that a relationship based on trust and mutual support has been established between the local population and those involved in the implementation of the project, as everyone shares the common goal of improving the quality of life of the residents through the new developments.
