Salvinta, a construction company that is part of Darnu Group, will build the new military infrastructure site under a contract signed with the Defense Ministry last year.
The new complex will be built next to modular barracks that have housed the Brigadier General Motiejus Peciulionis Artillery Battalion of the Griffin Motorized Infantry Brigade since 2017.
The battalion-sized complex will cover an area of almost 9.5 hectares.
Administrative and special-purpose buildings, such as barracks, canteens, headquarters, and medical, sports and technical facilities, will be built next to the modular camp.
Darnu Group started building the first new military base in Rokantiskes, close to Vilnius, in late August, with the construction of a third new base, in Siauliai, to be launched by Partnerystes Projektai Keturi, a company of the Eika Group, shortly.
All three public-private partnership contracts were signed for a period of 15 years, including two and a half years for designing and construction, and 12.5 years for maintenance and servicing of the infrastructure.
The three new military sites, scheduled to be completed in late 2023 to early 2024, will accommodate up to 2,500 military personnel and civilian employees of the national defense system.
