Consultancy firm Sweco has signed new consultant service agreements for the Odra-Vistula flood management project. These agreements represent Sweco’s third and fourth contract under the scheme of the flood management project and have an aggregate value of 5.5 million euro. The agreements were signed with the West Pomeranian Board for Amelioration and Water Structures in Szczecin and the Lubuski Board for Amelioration and Water Structures in Zielona Gora.
