Transfagarasan

The Transfăgărăşan Highway

We would like to have a section called “the best of… Romania”.
With our first “the best of…” wanted to give you the energy, the sense of fresh nature and adventure and to inspire you for a great incentive, for both men and women, together or gender groups, why not?

What Wikipedia says about it?

The Transfăgărăşan (trans – over, across) + Făgăraş or DN7C is the most dramatic and second-highest paved road in Romania. Built as a strategic military route, the 90 km of twists and turns run north to south across the tallest sections of the Southern Carpathians, between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu, and the second highest, Negoiu. The road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia, and the cities of Sibiu and Piteşti….read more on Wikipedia.

How it was built?
The Transfăgărăşan Highway was built between 1970 and 1974. A brief presentation with numbers might be difficult to follow, but for those who have the patience to read it is worth saying that about 3 million tones of hard rocks were dislocated, 830 transverse works and 290 000 cubic meters of masonry were made for building those 92 kilometers of road. For building the Capra – Balea Tunnel there were excavated over 41 000 cubic meters of rocks. There were also used 20 tones of dynamite, 3 573 tones of cement, 89 tones of concrete steel, 24 000 of anchors, 129 tones of brazed nets, 14 200 square meters of encasements, 1750 meters of concrete tubes, 4 100 meters of pipes, 50 tones of metal composites, 6 900 cubic meters of grit, 6000 cubic meters of gravel, 3 000 tones of crushed rocks and 740 lighting lamps….

Checklist

How to have a successful event

If you’d like to take a glimpse into our back office, be part of our exciting work, and even get convinced of our services, here’s a ten-step guide we follow for a successful event. Please remember these are just a few tips and a short guideline that we consider in the relationship with our clients:

  1. Time. Choose the date of your event weeks in advance; we usually recommend a minimum of three weeks, in order to ensure all the details are handled effectively, at the best price and with quality services. For large events it’s recommended to launch the request one year in advance.
  2. Venue. Make sure the venues you are considering are suited to the event you are planning.
  3. Concept. Always think of the concept in any aspect of the event: the hall, the dinner, the reception of the guests, the accommodation, etc, should all fit in a carefully defined concept that matches both the client’s profile and the purpose of the event.
  4. Suppliers. It is important that your event planner chooses already tested or well-reputed suppliers.
  5. Budget. Putting on a successful, well-managed event needs a specific budget, adjusted to its size, purpose and activities included. However, make sure that your event planner negotiates on your behalf with the suppliers.
  6. Check up. The list of the requested services must be carefully checked up before the kickoff.
  7. Coordination. A good coordination between client, event planner and suppliers is crucial for the dynamic of your event.
  8. Small details matter. As small as they may seem, they will surely make the difference. Let your event planner know all the details you are thinking of. Don’t expect to have flowers in the room, or water on the tables, ask for them!
  9. Proactive assistance. Expect and make sure that your event planner is right there on the spot for you and has things under control.
  10. Feedback. Always give feedback to your event planner, during and after the event.
