Belarus President names civil engineering a priority

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Ryan

Alexander Lukashenko believes it is necessary to pay priority attention to the development of the Belarusian civil engineering industry. While visiting Shklov’s industrial companies on May 16, the President stressed, a construction spree is observed in the world at present and Belarus should use it.

Investments should be channelled into civil engineering on a priority basis, said the head of state.

Alexander Lukashenko underscored, all projects should be finished according to the plans within the present five-year term.

While in Shklov the head of state visited the new timber processing enterprise, which is part of the newsprint mill company, where wooden houses and laminated forest products are made using modern technologies. Its production capacity makes 250 wooden houses, 15,000 cubic metres of multilayer laminated veneer lumber and beams, 23,650 cubic metres of planed timber annually. The facility uses the latest European equipment bought in France, Austria, and Lithuania.
