SWECO's environmental consultants win award in Russia

SWECO's environmental consulting unit in Russia has been presented with an award
by the country's Ministry of Construction for its success in adapting to the
country's new economic conditions.

”The award won by our Russian subsidiary Lenvodokanalproekt will further enhance
our reputation in Russia and increase our opportunities to win new contracts and
clients,” says Per Johansson, Managing Director of SWECO Eastern Europe.

The Russian consulting industry has undergone dramatic changes in the past few
years and many companies have not survived this process. The Russian Ministry of
Construction, a government administration that is responsible for all
construction and consulting operations in the country, feels that
Lenvodokanalproekt has succeeded well in modernising and adapting to the
country's new economic conditions while at the same time maintaining very high
quality standards in its services. 

”Every year the Ministry of Construction presents awards to consulting firms
around the country. The award is proof that our environmental efforts are
working and is naturally a feather in our cap,” says Per Johansson. 

Lenvodokanalproekt is based in Saint Petersburg and currently has 110 employees.
The company is active nationwide and is the market-leading provider of water and
environmental services in northwestern Russian. One of the company's most
notable recent projects is a contract to inspect the water and sewerage systems
in the city of Petrozavodsk in northwest Russia.
