ENKA carried out design and turn-key construction of a residential complex with 725 dwelling units, including social and technical buildings and the furnishing thereof with the complete infrastructure. The total floor area is 84,000 m2.

The Borisow military housing project in Belarus was the pioneering settlement within the military housing program and, as such, demanded great speed of construction. From the green field to turn-key completion took just 173 days. The project had a total construction area of 85,000 m2 and included social and technical buildings, infrastructure and a 30 MW heating center.

Borisow Housing is a fast-track project built by ENKA to provide housing for Soviet soldiers repatriated from former East Germany. 725 housing units were completed in 173 days. The project received an extensive international media attention, and marked ENKA’s successful contribution to a historic event.

ENKA Scope of Services

Within the context of rapid developments, following the unification of Germany, ENKA was determined to hand over the project on the planned arrival date of the troops. ENKA’s speed in completing the 725 apartments required intensive logistical arrangements, backed up by the network of ENKA Offices in Istanbul, Minsk, Moscow, Wiesbaden, Stockholm and London. As a result of this coordinated effort, a total of 1,510 trucks and 1,747 train wagons of equipment and materials were moved to the site. At the peak of activity, the number of workers and personnel reached 3,300. The inauguration ceremony on January 8, 1992, received extensive international media attention, and marked ENKA’s successful contribution to a historic event.
