The operator of Sofia Airport signed a contract with GBS-Infrastructural construction
SOF Connect and GBS-Infrastructural construction signed today a contract for the renovation of the covered car parking of Terminal 2 of Sofia Airport. The project is worth nearly BGN 24.5 million and its implementation is of strategic importance for the development of the airport.
“We are delighted to be partnering with an industry leader like GBS-Infrastructural construction. The company’s knowledge and expertise accumulated in a large number of successful projects give us confidence that in the medium term, Sofia Airport will have a renewed and functional covered car parking.”, said Jesus Caballero, CEO of SOF Connect.
“It is an honor for us to work with a contractor like SOF Connect. With the implementation of this project, an even more comfortable and modern space will be provided at Sofia Airport. For all travelers, for us, for the guests of our capital. I guarantee that we will complete the project with high quality and on time.”, added Kamen Peshov, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Glavbolgarstroy Holding and GBS-Infrastructure construction.
Renovation works on Terminal 2’s four-story covered car parking will begin in 2024 and will take about a year to complete. In the meantime, GBS-Infrastructural construction is expected to complete the construction of the open car parking with a capacity of over 1,000 lots. Thus, passengers at Sofia Airport will have the opportunity to park in the open car parking until the renovation of the closed one is completed. As a final result of the implementation of the two projects, Terminal 2 will have in total nearly 1,900 parking lots.
Together with the introduction of the new open car parking areas, a curbside control system will be implemented at Terminal 2. The new end-to-date barrier system, based on license plate recognition, will ensure that every arriving driver intending to drop off or pick up passengers can access the curbside without waiting in lines. This project includes not only the implementation of barriers but also road widening and the installation of the new U-turn, which will redirect traffic approaching neighborhood facilities located outside the airport.
The company GBS-Infrastructure construction, part of the corporate group of Glavbolgarstroy, is oriented in the construction of large-scale projects in the field of transport and water infrastructure. One of the largest construction projects of the company in recent years is the southern arc of the Sofia ring road, three sections of the Struma motorway, including the bridge at the Zheleznitsa tunnel, built using innovative technology, the section from Slivnitsa to Hrabarsko on the Europa motorway, the new breakthrough along Philip Kutev Str. and others.
