General director Dmitry Pankin said: "We realised the importance of the tasks assigned to us. Since it was Vertex from who the non-stop operation at the site depended on, it has a direct impact on both the compliance with the schedule of construction works, and on the degree of readiness of the stadium for the championship."

"We are proud to take part in the preparations for the World Cup 2018, as this is a holiday for the entire planet! Moreover, we are leaving an inheritance to our children!"
