Sweco to improve flood protection in Poland

Sweco has signed two new contracts – one with the Regional Water Management Authority in Wrocław and one with the Regional Water Management Authority in Szczecin – to provide consulting services for the Odra-Vistula Flood Management Project - component 5.4.  The project, which is being co-financed by the World Bank, aims to improve flood protection for people living in the area.

“Ensuring and improving flood protection is one of the most important factors in securing the sustainable social and economic development of a region or country. Being selected for these projects in Poland is a testament to Sweco’s recognised expertise in flood protection”, says Ina Brandes, President of Sweco Central Europe.
