Press release 1.2.2008
Rautaruukki is to deliver the foundation, steel frame and façade structures for a maintenance and office building at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. The developer and owner is E-P:n Lentoasemapalvelu Oy and the facilities will be used by Finncomm Airlines. The project will be the first application of the rock foundation system, Ruukki’s own innovation intended to accelerate the construction process of buildings founded on a rock base.
Construction will start this spring and Ruukki’s deliveries will be completed in September 2008. The new maintenance and office building will be 16 metres high and cover a total area of 10,700 square metres, of which 6,000 square metres are intended for aircraft and 4,700 square metres for offices. Ruukki’s delivery includes design and installation of the structures.
“Ruukki’s quick and efficient design, manufacturing and installation methods will significantly shorten the construction schedule. It will decrease the number of subcontractors and thus also the risks associated with subcontracting. Compared with alternative solutions, we now have better chances of keeping the tight project schedule,” says Heikki Pakari, Chairman of E-P:n Lentoasemapalvelu Oy’s Board of Directors.
“Our new integrated solution will reduce the error risk and the risks related to the scope of contracts, because the building components are designed and constructed as a standard package in terms of jointing technology,” says Saku Sipola, President, Ruukki Construction.
In spring 2007, Ruukki launched a solutions package to increase the speed and efficiency of the construction of multi-storey office and commercial buildings. The solution package also improves industrial safety. Construction time will be reduced because the frame construction can be started as soon as the foundations have been installed and the concrete casting can be done later. The solution comprises Ruukki’s steel pile foundation base for soft soils and the environmentally aware rock foundation solution, which significantly reduces the need for blasting.
