The work, involving $18.2 million, is supposed to be completed by September 15, 2015, said a press release on Saturday.
Russia and Bangladesh are presently developing a contract for completing their preparatory works for the construction of the Rooppur NPP. The NPP construction is expected to start at the end of 2015.
