DUSHANBE, February 13, 2014, Asia-Plus – Dushanbe Mayor Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloyev yesterday met here with Mr. Francesco Ferrari, Vice-President at Italy’s Preston & Barbieri.
Preston & Barbieri has won an international tender for completion of construction of the Water Park in Dushanbe, Shavkat Saidov, a spokesman for the Dushanbe mayor’s office, told Asia-Plus in an interview.
In the course of the talks, Dushanbe mayor reportedly noted that Preston & Barbieri had proved its reliability during delivery and assembly of attractions for Dushanbe’s Boghi Poytakht Park.
Ubaidulloyev expressed confidence that construction of the Dushanbe Water Park would resume in the near future.
The sides also discussed issues related to reconstruction of Children’s Park, Ayni and Peoples’ Friendship Parks as well as construction of a new zoo in the Tajik capital.
We will recall that the Dushanbe mayor’s office reportedly concluded a contract on construction of the Water Park in Dushanbe with Turkey’s Emek Project Limited in 2004, but the company stopped the construction work in mid-2004, pleading force majeure and did not fulfill its obligations on the contract.
Preston & Barbieri is an amusement ride manufacturing company based in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The company was founded in 2000 as a merger of the Preston and Barbieri Rides companies. The company manufactures a wide range of flat rides, water rides and roller coasters out of its 70,000-square-meter property in Italy. Preston & Barbieri has also collaborated directly with other companies to design rides.
