Work on the Tbilisi Water Supply and Sanitation Immediate Investment Program (our first project in the country) began in 1999. In 2017 we established a permanent office in the capital city of Tbilisi, and we regularly cooperate with the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia on numerous projects, including Batumi Bypass Road Project and transport links for Anaklia Deep Sea Port.
