USAID, through the Economic Resilience Activity (ERA), is upgrading Ukraine’s border crossing points (BCPs) to improve grain export logistics, and as part of this, from December 6 to 8, subcontractor Miyamoto Ukraine undertook a visit to inspect three key priority BCPs near Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.
During the visit, the Miyamoto team inspected the condition of the unfinished terminals at the two road BCPs in the Zakarpattia region, and surveyed the area designated for the expansion of the cargo terminal at the road BCP in the Volyn region. Miyamoto Ukraine had formed three teams, with each team consisting of engineers, building inspection specialists, and architects, and assigned to work separately on different BCPs. The technical inspection of these BCPs is scheduled to continue until the end of December 2023, after which they will start preparing the draft report on the unfinished terminals. Following the December visit, the pre-design survey of the Volyn region BCP will commence in December 2023.
“The team of professionals at Miyamoto Ukraine is helping us with the resolution of the most complex and socially important reconstruction projects. The modernization of checkpoints is among the most urgent. This is about the development of economic potential, transportation of humanitarian and military cargos. We thank our partners for their help in these important projects,” says Mustafa Nayyem, the Head of the Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine (SARDI).

Miyamoto International has an official presence in 27 countries worldwide. The Ukrainian branch boasts an engineering team of approximately 128 professionals based in Ukraine. This team will provide design and quality assurance for the BCP construction work under ERA. Miyamoto Ukraine is also actively collaborating with the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine and working with regional and military administrations in various parts of the country.
