I.N.C.D.I.F. “ ISPIF ” BUCHAREST - General Headquarters -

Company Presentation G E N E R A L P R E S E N T A T I O N I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” Bucuresti is the abbreviated name of the National Institute of Research and Development for Land Reclamation “ISPIF” Bucharest , working under the scientifical co- ordination of the Academy of Forestry and Agricultural Sciences “Gheorghe Ionescu Sisesti”. As general expertise, I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” is specialised both in providing consultance through general or feasibility studies in various fields of activity and in carrying out studies and projects. I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” also provides technical assistance in construction, operation and maintenance for all kinds of land reclamation works such as irrigation, drainage, soil erosion control, fisheries, environment protection, rural development and applied informatics. Established in 1950, as an Institute of Studies and Design for Land Reclamation Projects, I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” has continuously developed in more and more diversified fie lds of activity as a result of general development of economy in general and especially of agriculture, expanding its prospects towards new frontiers. I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” has suitable equipment and staff for field investigations and studies concerning: geology, soil mechanics, hydrology, hydrogeology, applied hydraulics, chemistry of soil and water, land survey, mapping, aerial photography, remote sensing in agriculture and environment. By its permanent staff and in close co-operation with universities and research centres I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” has played, for a long time, an active and important role in general planning in agriculture, regional development strategies and environment protection. The permanent staff is about 400. Romanian Society for Qual ity Assurance (SRAQ) certifies I.N.C.D.I.F. “ISPIF” has implemented and maintains a quality management system and also has implemented and maintains an information security management system which fulfills the requirements of the standards ISO 9001 : 2001/ Certificate Registration No. 1109, ISO 14001 : 2005/ Certificate Registration No. 27, OHSAS 18001:2004 Certificate Registration No. 132 and ISO/IEC 27001:2005 /Certificate Registration No. 18. MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION The company is led by a management team with the following components: Danut MARIA - General Director , Dr. Eng. specialised in land reclamation and agricultural hydraulics, educated at the Agricultural University of Bucharest; Mihai Ludovic COMAN – Scientific Director, Deputy General Director , Dr. Eng. in geological science, graduate of the Geology and Geophysics Faculty, University of Bucharest

Company Presentation Victor Toma MAITA – Technical Director of the Design Department, Dr. Eng. specialised in land reclamation and Victor Toma MAITA Technical Director of Design agriculture hyraulics, educated ar the Agricultural University Department , diplomat engineer specialised in land reclamation of Bucharest: Virgil DOBRE - Deputy General Director , doctor and agricultural hydraulics, educated at the Agricultural engineer in land reclamation, graduate of the University of Bucharest; Agricultural University of Galati; Traian GHIBUS - Technical Director of Studies and Investigations Department , Eng. in drilling works, educated in Bucharest University of Geology and Geophysics Faculty As briefly mentioned above, the institute is organised into two departments, one for research and projects and one for studies and investigations, backed up by administrative and supporting services. The two main departments (the Design and Consultance Department and the Department for Studies and Investigations) comprise three sections each, specialised in different type of activity: - the Design and Consultance Department: 1. Section of Complex Projects for Irrigation. 2. Section of Environment Protection in Agriculture. 3. Section of Pumping Stations, Constructions and Energetic. - the Studies and Investigations Department: 1. Section of Geologic Works and Drilling. 2. Section of Geology, Hydrology , Hydrogeology and Soil. 3. Section of Land Survey, Aerophotography and Mapping Apart from the main frame, five subsidiaries assure the links with the main regions of the country as it will be following presented. The Subsidiary Moldova was established in 1969 in Iasi and focalises its main activity in the districts located in the Eastern part of Romania as well as in Republic of Moldavia. The permanent staff, of some 49 people, is specialised in land reclamation works (mainly irrigation and soil erosion control) and land survey. The Subsidiary Transilvania , staffed with 12 people, was established in 1993 in Cluj as a strong need for a nucleus of specialists in soil erosion control works in the central part of the country where this kind of works have an important spreading. Further on a group of specialists in geological surveys was created because the local market enabled some works to be contracted in this field. The Subsidiary Banatul, located in Timisoara, specialised in research – development activity. The Subsidiary CRUTA, located in Bucharest, specialised in remote sensing in agriculture and environment, field prospection and surveys. The Subsidiary Baneasa-Giurgiu, specialised in research-development activity.
