On January 20, the Central Asia Branch of China Geoengineering Corporation (CGC) officially received the acceptance certificate for the LOT-6 section of Georgia’s Marneuli Water Supply Project from the United Water Supply Company, marking the successful completion, handover and start of the warranty period for this critical phase.
The Marneuli Water Supply Project, contracted in September 2022 and launched in mid-October that year, stands as the Georgian government’s largest municipal water infrastructure endeavor in the past five years. The project’s LOT-1 section was completed in June 2023 and secured its performance certificate in June 2024. The timely completion of LOT-6—representing 33% of the project’s total contract value—marks a pivotal achievement. To date, CGC has finalized two sections, while main construction on the remaining two sections has also been completed.
The LOT-6 scope included laying 16 kilometers of ductile iron water pipelines, constructing two reservoirs, establishing a water intake pump station, and installing supporting electromechanical equipment. These upgrades will provide reliable daily water access to more than 20,000 households in Marneuli City.
CGC’s Georgia team adopted a strategy of prioritizing self-managed operations supplemented by controlled subcontracting, assembling a multinational workforce with engineers from Sri Lanka and Turkey. Despite post-pandemic supply chain disruptions, surging material costs and political volatility in Georgia, the team leveraged collaborative problem-solving to uphold contractual commitments. Their efforts not only garnered acclaim from the client but also delivered economic benefits and strengthened CGC’s reputation in the region.
The Central Asia Branch plans to accelerate progress on the remaining sections while prioritizing quality control. Looking ahead, the company aims to align with Georgia’s sustainable development goals, sharpen its brand identity, and pursue strategic market expansion to solidify its competitive edge and grow its footprint in the country’s infrastructure sector.
