As part of the provision of technical assistance to the Government of Uzbekistan by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the following projects were completed:

  • “Reconstruction of the A380 Guzar-Bukhara-Nukus-Beineu highway on sections 581-673 km and 673-698 km”;

Our National Environmental Specialist has been engaged to prepare and implement these projects.

Currently, the roads under construction and their subsequent operation have a negative impact on the environment. The use of road construction equipment and lifting mechanisms leads to air pollution by gaseous and suspended matter emissions; changes in the landscape, hydrogeological conditions of the construction site and adjacent territory, as well as environmental pollution by waste generated during construction works. To prevent these negative consequences, it is necessary to maintain special, appropriate control and monitoring by environmental specialists.

During the implementation of projects, at the stage of their development and construction, all the necessary complex of   environmental protection measures has been carried out, which is aimed at significantly reducing the negative impact on the environment and improving its condition. All environmental problems arising during construction work have been brought under control.

Our specialist provided the following types of services:

  • Ensuring proper compliance with the requirements of national legislation on environmental protection and rational use of natural resources;
  • Collection and verification of additional baseline environmental data required for the final EIA study;
  • Assistance in the preparation of environmental monitoring reports in accordance with ADB requirements;
  • Conducting environmental studies and providing reports on the environmental impact of the project during its implementation;
  • Comprehensive inspection of the ecological route;
  • Coordination of the environmental monitoring system during the construction of the road, and in the post-project period.
